have they done anything new to the chassis? my friend had one of the older models and it wasnt that good. new electronics are a plus. how bout gearing and chassis though? anything new?

ahh never mind. looks like a rusty with small tires and a different body

Chassis does look the same just different color. Lets not forget this is a basher, not a hardcore racer

Old Chassis design below, new chassis a couple post above

yeah i know its a basher. i love traxxas. own 3.

Wow thats an extreme makeover!!! nice job TRAXXAS!

updated electrics, and cool new grey plastic. not much, but an impovement. i hate the wheels on the (new) bandit. i think theyre ugly.

but, i guess to younger folks, it will apear more cool to them. traxxas is just improving the gateway to our wonderful, yet hidden and misunderstood hobby. :)

yeah i think they are trying to apeal to younger people with the bandit. i know my little brother wanted one but we got him a rusty instead. i personally dont like the wheels either.

I was really kinda being sarcastic!! :rolleyes: I think its safe to say Im ready to see something new , new
from the electric side of TRAXXAS..

nice wheels
 

the wheels are nice.i hate the dish wheels that i have to run on my B4.

Yes, nice to have something different. Stadium trucks have lots of options but buggys just have dish :weird:

Cheers

I give traxxas three thumbs up!
