Traxxas MINI MAXX is out!

[luke66]

Traxxas has it listed on their site! 1/16, BL-2s 550 Sized motor, BRUSHLESS!
Absolute BEAST! But at 250$, it's 100$ more than its closest competitor, the GROM line up. But fully RTRed should get a bunch of people interested. Now we wait for the Jato 4X4......

Check it out!

32p gears and almost 1/10 gears, why not 3s? Seems like the mini they should have built.

Yeah this s on the granite Grom, not only brushless but looks like the quality is there. Definitely gonna be worth the extra $100 imo

Jato 4x4?? Speculation?

This could be my first Traxxas car, for $250 it’s definitely overpriced.

for $250 it’s definitely overpriced.

that's a running theme with traxxas. they seem to think they're Gucci or something idk.

this truck is just kinda "meh". I'm not seeing anything creative or innovative. it's just another shrunken down truck.

I like the diffs, nice and beefy, the center drive shaft might need to be upgraded if going beyond 2S, but overall it looks like a better choice than the Mini E-Revo to me, and it's $50 less than the 380 Brushless version of that.

How dare they disgrace the jato’s name like this

Yeah it's gross.

It's supposed to be named bandit 4x4. Jato was originally a nitro speed truck.

Ooh, ooh, you should tell Traxxas!!!

I'm sure they'll be grateful for your insight...

what scale is that so called "jato" buggy supposed to be?
can't call it a bandit 4x4 if it's not 1/10 scale. just sayin'

The Jato is 1/10 scale too. And it's a stadium truck lol

i know, it was (is? do they still make it?) a useless nitro rustler

Traxxas says the Mini Maxx has 4" tires, might work well with off the shelf stadium truck tires like the HPI Savage XS, the mini revo pairs well with 1/10 rear buggy tires.

I can't help but compare the electric "Jato" to the Arrma Typhon, it it's really an official "backslash" it'll be about 1/8 scale...but with 1/10 shocks/axles/etc

What? Is that electric Jato real? Looks just like the Typhon.

Apparently it's a leak. I imagine. It's real and probably dropping pretty soon for Christmas
