The body isn't as ugly as the tekno so that's good.

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

no. just no.

why the frick is there a buggy body on that truck? they made a muggy. looks more like a swamp buggy than a truck. i didn't know an RC car could be sexually confused. someone at AE needs to be fired. out of a cannon. into a brick wall. or maybe just kicked in the nuts one at a time. idk.

i don't think iv been this confused and pissed off at an RC car before. it makes me want to go buy an OG high CG slash. i feel like i need to sit on the end of a dock looking out over the lake at sunset contemplating life.

4x4 racing trucks have been buggies for years.

That is a very interesting release. I wonder if they updated the chassis design to mitigate the B84 snapping issues in the front... it says it's a little wider, but will it be enough?

I've prayed to the RC gods for Team Associated to join in on the 4wd stadium truck/mini truggy action back in 2018. When they didn't, I moved to Tekno and their ET410. If Team Associated came out with this thing back in 2018, I still would not have bought one. Reason being it's for a well-groomed running environment. I could not see the T84 lasting long on the stuff I run my RC rides on.

And definitely not at $670.

truly one of the RC vehicles ever conceived

(also won't see a single speck of dust in its life)

and 660 bucks for this? actual highway robbery

Apparently they call those body styles as "Bruggie", sound dumb af to me. I like the rest of the truck though

well whoever conceived of it needs to be stabbed in the eye with a really hot french fry.

i blame ROAR and every other sanctioning body. why in the hell did they let manufactures mutilate bodies? there should have been strict guidelines in place to keep them looking like what they're supposed to look like. the cab/cockpit forward stuff never should have happened. the melted mutant choptop roof lines never should have happened. the side windows being in the middle of the doors never should have happened. exposed shock towers on a truck should not be happening.

 

[CrunchyM5k]

If you go way back and read some old forums you find people complaining about how the RC10 ruined the appearance of buggies compared to the Tamiya rough rider and similar buggies decades after the rc10 took over. I think cab forward is ugly but exposed shock towers make it a buggy.

 

[CertifiedMike]

Roar made a big stink about buggies NOT being allowed to run TRUCK bodies...

How the hell can they tell one from another any more?

Roar took lessons from Musk I'm guessing.
They are trying to destroy pick up trucks as best as I can determine from what I see here.

This is a buggy with wide arms and a wider price tag.

I'm just glad there is another option to the class. Hopefully it will help the mini truggy class to grow.

 

[81exige]

maybe it's just me but I don't see this thing being as popular as the ET410 will be, given the latter is $200 cheaper, theoretically stronger (it is a Tekno) and that the B84 has a tendency to crack its chassis (assuming all they did to the T84's chassis was to slightly enlarge it)

buuuuuuuuut I'm not too sure about that given how some people are determined to have the latest everything
