Just saw this on amain https://www.amainhobbies.com/traxxas-stampede-4x4-1-10-rtr-4wd-monster-truck-kit-tra67010-4/p945388

Even though it is a Traxxas this is good to see none race kits making a comeback.

I agree kits and rollers are needed.

That is not really the point of this thread. The point of this thread is like @Mongoose said hopefully other manufacturers will follow suit and offer kitted versions of their vehicles.

Despite the crap servos that came with it my Summit is still one of my favorite vehicles. If you use that truck like it was intended and not try to send it or go 70mph it stays together very well.

Yeah it was just a joke. ? Kits are nice to give you options. We usually end up rebuilding our trucks anyway and I've built a couple of mine from scratch so it's a lot like a kit. It's all about your bashing style like you said. No Traxxas works for me but may work for others. BASH ON!

They have to if they want to try and retain their throne, Arrma is spearheading their upheaval lol

 

[Mother_Trucker]

If Arrma starts putting out kit versions of their vehicles its game over.

It took them almost a decade to listen to it's customers about the E-Revo.

Why are we talking about Traxxas? Traxxas is the reason I’m now a card carrying arrma member! I don’t care what Traxxas does to try and rebrand itself, but I do miss the kit, the building of the car, nostalgia aside I won’t buy Traxxas at all.

I guess you save $100 but you then have to buy your own electronics to have then the same "average" vehicle than the RTR. I would have thought that it would have been better to charge slightly more but offer better quality components under a new model

But the erevo diffs will withstand a nuclear explosion.

Remember that story I told you guys about the other day? Expect Traxxas to start pulling out the stops, now that Arrma is taking a chunk out of their sales. Hopefully Horizon takes the bull by the horns, and considers doing the same with Arrma kits.

Again, this isn't really meant to be about Traxxas more pointing out the fact that if Traxxas is doing it, then others will likely follow suit.

Hopefully they do.....along with other vendors. Competition is key to a free market and progress
