  1. This is one of the worst looking models I've seen in a long time and that price is ridiculous.

    Traxxas Maxx Slash

    Traxxas create a "family tree" with all their innovative chassis releases, they design a modular chassis that can then be reshaped to various model types (Truck, Shortcourse, Buggy etc). Even 15+ years ago with the 2wd chassis, Rustler, Bandit and Stampede. Then again with the 4x4 chassis, It's quite smart, from a business/efficiency stand point. This might not be the last "Maxx" model we see in the next 5 years. Maxx Bandit? Maxx Rally?....

  15. I do wonder what the center drive shaft is like though as I always had issues with that on the Slash 4x4, it would split at the ends, I can't imagine making it longer would improve anything.
  16. If I was to get another RC it would be this! I really like the look of it and on a Slash 4x4 extended chassis, it's a big thumbs up.

  21. I don't know why Associated quote the full specs.
  22. The only way to really know how much Kev makes is if he transfers it all to my bank for verification. I am happy of the contrast Tomley and Kev have, I watch them for different reasons. I would like to see both spend more time in new places though, particularly with Kev it gets monotonous taking XYZ car to the same skate park. There's some amazing locations out there to go crawl/bash an RC. It was refreshing when Tomley went to the beach, even if it was to pick up rubbish. Tomley has made really good use of the space in his unit with the floor space and tracks, certainly makes more use of it than Kev and will be super useful in the wet and dark winter upon us. Please don't rack it out as storage!
