c'mon guys... someone named "crawler" should already know that electric's better for torque off the line than nitro
real hybrids don't start off with the gas engine and then swap to batteries once they get rolling

Barfee (go figure out who that is on your own), I know its just a Special Event. Do you have to be a combative jerk in every thread you post?
Since you are posting in as many threads as you can as fast as you can, whats your real story? Are you just hiding behind a new profile because your other one was banned?

I can't even imagine being in Ricks position. Having to be tight liped. Getting bribes of money and hot sisters/gf/wives etc to reveal secrets of AE.
Esp. given todays economy! Its a tough market. Rick has to keep a job folks, we can't risk him losing his job for the sake of a few details which will likly be revealed sooner or later.
Rick, Id imagine, a person in your position gets all giddy about certain things which you know will impact the industry. I've met several folks directly tied in the industry and its the same thing. Knowing that you have a product that will get a lot of attention. Now I know how people in the auto industry or hell ANY industry trying to get ahead must feel.
I'll be waiting attentively!
On a side note, IF this is a simiar truck to the CORR style racing, can AE look into bringing back the Toyota Baja Truck body they made BITD for the orig. RC10T.

Oldshoolracer/RocketRob40/rocket-mtrsprts...doesn't hide very well as his cranky, condescending personality always shines through. And when people fight back, he calls THEM trolls. I feel sorry for him.

Interesting to note that the filename of the animating CORR banner on the site is SC8-web-banner-800x310_1.gif. Is SC8 the model number of the new truck, seeing as how they have an RC8 nitro model number? Guess I'll have to keep checking back!

I'm not exactly sure what we are looking for but it is the actual RC truck in the ad. The tire tread and body (no fasteners, seams, etc) make it obvious. The image being named SC8 like mentioned above sounds like it'll be the same size as the Slash. I'm guessing we'll see this in the shops before xmas.

But what about what I and and tons of other people want? huh? When can I get the car that I want? Something that looks halfway real. Thats what the Slash and Slayer is all about. I know it is not able to go at it with a very unrealistic setup like todays 1/10th scale stadium trucks, but its the realism I am after.
I'm not demanding that other companys make a CORR style truck. I just want them to know that I am interested in this style of rc racing, and it would be cool if they joined in. (Realism). Just like the Monster truck guys, and the rock crawler guys. Thats why those classes took off like they did. Then broke of and made other classes.
More people are coming to the hobby that never would have without Traxxas. Because of Traxxas these other companys may have never got the few customer they do have if they were not pulled in buy the appeal of some Traxxas models.

For being such a nimrod, and with so few posts in these boards, you sure are doing a great job making friends here rook.
Oh, and by definition, trolls do exactly as you've done in your short time here ~ adding little if anything yet trolling around with smartass remarks looking to start something.
