I'm gonna go out on a limb and say $700 or somewhere around there, since that's in the REVO ballpark, and it is based on the REVO.

I say itss cheaper. No R&D really went into it. They just frankisteined a bunch of existing parts together. I say $399-$450.....I'm so there!

How much is the Revo? It should be no more expensive than that. They're the same chassis.

This looks pretty cool. The nitro element takes out the problems that are already plaguing the Slash (people modding them with all different kinds of power plants). This will be neat to watch develop.

No it doesn't... I've got a B7 Pro (backup) sitting in the box.
(And if you think for a second I couldn't figure out how to make it fit, you're kidding yourself!)

And if you think you can get a B7's power down with those tires, you're kidding yourself! A well tuned OS RG will make better lap times in this truck.

There's not nearly as big a difference between an econo and a top of the line .21 as there are between the stock Slash powerplant and a B/L setup. There are already guys in my area running the Slash with 3s lipo, Novak GTB's, etc. Hearing that made me go a limp one. I was going to buy a Slash but I can see the class already ruined in my area.

I have a two week old slash and I tell you that I am going to buy this thing. There have been a few very realistic cars come out....I hope the trend catches on.

Why make it 4WD? Since the truck is based on a CORR Pro 2 class full sized truck...

Just curious....

Wouldn't it be easier to base it on a Jato 3.3 chassis?
