Sand drags, anyone? Hill climbs? A surprise offering in what I would think is a niche market? Must be more RC sand devils out there than I realized? -AC

Sounds cool, but that Traxxas pricing will be out of my range

Working front disk brakes? Interesting. Kinda surprised they didn't throw Mohawk on the tge front.

I dig it but I’m not one for sand and I don’t really live near it. Can’t wait to see videos on it

$1300 for a one-trick pony is insane.

It'll sell out immediately.

However, I do kind of like where we are in the hobby with scale vs performance. The days of choosing one or the other seem to be passing us by. And that's pretty cool!

Well, I was gonna say "I'M BUYING THIS!", until I saw the estimated price...

Gotta be honest: I find it fugly!

So ugly you can't look away.

Can't vomit on it if I looked away

Super cool rig. Won't be a one trick pony with a tire change. BUT, the price of admission, batteries and parts when damage occurs will keep many like myself away.

Heck, I've paid that for full size cars including tax and registration! That price is in line with 1/5 behemoths though, does anyone remember this?

Not quite as ugly as the other Funco stuff. It looks like their lead designer used to design boats.

At least Traxxas picked the least fugly of their designs

I have no place to run something this big. We have TREES in Maine! The size and costs have me uninterested.
Its a cool buggy if you have the space tho.

I, for one, can't wait to see all the frustration over bent front arms when these 2wd hippos get full sent off some giant ramps by the more dollars than sense crowd!

Even Traxxas chose to transition their video at the exact point the front end came down for a landing on that big air in their demo video.

The A-Arms are actually plastic. They just have a chrome plating or whatever its called! Not aluminum! THANK YOU TRAXXAS

Oh. Wow.

So Traxxas' "toughest material" is chromed out plastic. Got it.
Perhaps they mean it looks "tough" because it definitely does!
