Traxxas Mini XRT VXL Body Update!

[RBRC]

Well it looks like Traxxas listened to the criticism about the hole in the windshield. There is an updated body on way with the cutout in hood and roof now. Moving forward new shipments of XRT's are supposed to come with the updated body. Maybe the new versions will come with preinstalled fans!!

Is this just an aesthetic complaint?

 

[Doom!]

That does look better.

I agree, glad they did this.

Many people were upset when they got their mini xrt to find half of the windshield was cut out for an overheating issue. When traxxas shipped the cars to the influencers there was no hole in the windshield. so it was definitely a surprise!

I'll be picking one of those bodies up once released it's such a cop out that the original body has a hole in the windscreen, I was gutted when mine arrived..

Let's just say I got it from a very reliable source . You can actually go to the Traxxas website and check out the photo gallery and compare the photos.

They are live on the website now! This looks great, so glad Traxxas addressed this issue.

If I owned one I would consider sending Traxxas a note to get a replacement updated body. I say this because the picture on the box and the advertising pictures need to match the product in the box. This is from a legal perspective. Die cast model car makers got in trouble for this 50 years ago.

I think you are on to something!
