Traxxas Mud Boss is now called Slash Modified

[9x19]

Interesting name change... wonder what was behind it?

Did Traxxas finally get a taste of their own medicine

Probably because of some of the stuff it has from the factory doesn't qualify for a true mudboss class at the track. Idk. Its traxxas so who knows. They keep everything a secret.

I want to make my own Slash Modified. 3s 4ish .

This is another reason I have added to the long list of reasons why I choose to boycott Traxxas:

Good for you. .

 

[blaster27]

Lets boycott Traxxas, Arrma, Axial, and Losi. That way we can make our own rigs. .

 

[blaster27]

Most are based in the good ol USA.?

 

[Doom!]

Lets keep it civil please, we all like what we like, not everybody has to agree with each others choices, there is no right or wrong choice, that's why there are options in the first place.

 

[blaster27]

Well to be honest I own Traxxa, Arrma, Axial. Just haven't got around to a Losi yet. . I don't care where they are made.

I thought you already had enough reasons?

I think Traxxas should just rename all of their 2wd offerings to stuff like "Slash buggy, Slash truggy, Monster Slash"

They've dug themselves into such a deep hole I'm not sure I will ever become a customer of theirs again.

It's worth noting that I once ditched FlySky after getting burned by a myriad of issues with the poor quality they offered with their first generation radio gear, but they turned a new leaf with the Noble series and I've become a loyal customer once again, so I would never say never

C'mon Bill, at this point I'm surprised Traxxas hasn't banned you from owning their products. I am of course kidding, but you never know.

Here's to you and your manufacturing brand bashing.

 

[9x19]

(Life experience) Healthy cynicism makes most of the OTT brand-bashing irrelevant to me... more so when the bashing of one brand is used to promote a different brand.

 

[DavidB1126]

there are much bigger much nastier brands than Traxxas for one to boycott if they wish.

Radiolink being one of them. For me atleast.

Radiolink being one of them. For me atleast.

For me, its a number of food companies who put ingredients into their food that can get you sick. As far as I know buying a Traxxas RC isn't bad for my health!

You seem to be more interested in race-grade designs, and thats not a market that Traxxas is really aiming at outside of spec-classes.
