Yeah a nitro summit that would be easy just slap a summit body on revo 3.3 chassis and call it done.

Yeah Lessen a Nascar inspired on road would be pretty cool actually. Hey i cold just slap a new body and tires on my 4x4 slash and I would have.....wait ... Now " I" am thinking like Traxxas

You guys are late, they did that already with a 1/16 Revo/slash

That is totally NOT what I envision. Just a replica body slapped on a short arm MERV. Typical TRAXXAS marketing.

 

[HPI-Killer]

Straight axled crawler or a SCB!

Have they ever made anything for the air? Plane, heli?

I don't think so. I can see them releasing a mini heli and/or plane, there is a good market for them and with the Traxxas name on it sales could be huge!

I also hope its a truggy.. I've been bugging them for years to release a truggy and if they do.. atleast i can feel like i influenced them to do so. lol

 

[newnitrofan]

It will be interesting for sure, they even have me wondering

 

[hardmikke6996]

I'm still thinkin 5th scale. but the bb 8th would be awsome.

 

[newnitrofan]

My last thought on the subject is, if it was just something rebranded from the same platform they would have just released it as they did with the raptor that was recently released on the slash platform. It does have to be something new.

 

[beason]

the last time they did this was with a big V and it was the brushless system. So it doesn't even have to be a new rig...

It's an 8th scale buggy

Its som e on road supercar with a supposed top speed of 100mph

 

[HPIguy]

Holy crap, 0-60 in 2.3 seconds, and 0-100 in 4.9, WOW! But, where you gonna drive this thing?

EDIT: I guess here's the answer, a super speedway

Holy crap that is fast.....oh I want it....not sure what I will do with it but I still want it. The New stock control has an IPod/Iphone dock to be used as a dashboard. That thing is INSANE. We Traxxas finally stepped outside of the 1/10 scale world....with a 1/7?

 

[area51racer]

The $1099 price tag will drive people away, and make them spend more to have telemetry because its only apple supported ( for now ).

Notice how they used slash 4x4 arms and carriers, and drive line style? Typical traxxas for ya I surely will not buy one. Rumor has it traxxas lipos are maxamps owned as well! So they have their hands in everything! And its crap how the lipos are 25C lmao!

*yawn*

c'mon dude. This is waay more than a rebadged chassis so stop it already with the Traxxas badging. That got old 5 years ago.

Nothing wrong with doing the little things to keep costs down. This is IMO all new for Traxxas. FINALLY an electric on-road (yay!). Of course it's not relevent to the world of rc racing (as it is now) as it's meant to be a fun car but you never know.

 

[newnitrofan]

That thing is nuts

They had an electric 4tec look at the arms, carriers and driveline then. Even the shock towers.
