Ive been waiting for a clear body since Dec. I gave up on it and moved on to my next car. When I can walk in a hobby shop and buy one no problem Ill think about running traxxas again.

I've been waiting since it's release... and have called traxxas numerous times for other issues/questions and asking about the rally body each time with the same answer, telling me it's still on backorder. Get your stuff together traxxas!

Wow that really sucks. I can't understand what TRX is strategy for that one. Replacement bodies should have been out immediately upon the release of the car itself. Not a very smart move for a mostly savvy R/C company.
Are the Ken Block or stock bodies available?

Heres an idea. STOP BUYING TRAXXAS if your that upset by them. The may have the same car with a different body on it. But your the ones who keep buying them. So really who's at fault here. catch 22 the only bad thing is that their the ones who make the money.

They're a business. I have a few 27mhz radios and brushed motors laying around cause you can't buy rollers. Like people are saying, nothing will change until it hits their profits. I almost guarantee it won't though cause they're products are so hot.
Not worth my effort to complain as their products are still worth buying for me. Gotta pick your battles.

Thanks for you clear cut solution. Glad you live in a black and white world where everything is so simple. Just voicing my opinion on a subject others are upset about as well. If it doesn't bother you then don't bother posting. If Traxxas put a warning label on it that said "no bodies for a year after release" I wouldn't have bought one. It's not a battle just a valid opinion.
I do agree with you that they can handle it better when it comes to treating their customers with more respect when they express their curiosity (instead of ignoring them). Certainly they had to of known people were going to ask this, so they should of at least been ready to answer peoples questions when they came up.

And that's all I'm really saying. An answer would be nice. Or even a possible date they would be available.

Dude, the car has been out for 3 months(not 7). Chill out and wait for bodies to become available.
Based on your fury, I'd say you have a slash that you want to turn into a drift-mobile or something, but don't want to shell out the dough for a new ride.......no? Well,
yes, all of the Traxxas minis are based off of the same platform, but there are subtle differences.....suspension-wise, powerplants.
Are your posts borderline slanderous and most definately bashing (of traxxas that is)? I'd say so, but that's just me.
I mean seriously......you were on their website talking trash about them.....did you really expect them to not delete your post?
As far as the all-mighty dollar. Traxxas probably sells more vehicles, the world over, then any other manufacturer. Surely they must have some idea of what they are doing.
Just my 2 cents.

No I wasn't talking trash. I asked a question in a polite manner. No one at Traxxas wants to offer an answer or even a possible date for release. But they can give me infractions and delete my post. I really don't care anymore. I won't be posting anything else there. I asked a moderator to delete all my post. If everybody is cool with having no bodies so be it. I'm done.
