New Traxxas soon!? (Slash 4wd!!!!)

[Lessen]

I know! I know! It's going to be a 1/18th scale Summit!

with 2.4ghz and the same price as the big one!

 

[frickenjoey]

I agree with most of you that I would like to see a 4-wheel drive version of the Slash. That would be cool as hell. I am pretty sure Traxxas is out of the 1/5 scale world so I don't think it's a gasser. So my vote is on fwd Slash or mini Summit.

 

[revo_rob_1984]

if its a mini summit it better have the locking front and rear diffs like the fully has

 

[robmob]

My money is on a 4wd Slash.

I just hope if it is they use a chassis similar to the ERevo, but without the lay down shock design.

 

[rccks]

its probably gonna be a 1/10 Slash VXL. traxxas likes to re-do their current stuff a lot, so I'm really not expecting much..

 

[hamz9561]

How about a crawler? They might as well jump on the bandwagon, too.

 

[Nitroboy91]

To put my vote in, I'd say they are going to release a 1/8 buggy. It's obviously not a crawler with the introduction, nor would it be a mini, especially a summit. It's going to be something that will handle well on a track and that is in high demand. And the buggy/truggy scene is always big. Also people have wanted to see a buggy from Traxxas for awhile now, and maybe for once, a company listened to demand. I can't see it being just a Slash with a VXL system or anything like that, they wouldn't cause that much hype about it. I think if anything else, it's going to be comparable to the SC8.

To make a competitive buggy, wouldn't they first have to make an actual big block engine? Or would they just make some lame duck and throw a 3.3 in it...

That or they will have it be electric and use a bigger VXL system in it or another MMM?

 

[drdoom405]

I bet its a 1/8th brushless buggy called the Backslash.

[SMaxxin]

The thing that threw me was when a Traxxas employee posted.....

"When was the last time we followed what the market was doing"

I was pretty sure we would see a 4wd Slash until I read that, maybe a completely new rc?

yep, but for me and you rob you know its 4pm cause thats central and were eastern
