Looks pretty sweet.

Yes, this car is sick. Anyone know how much it is? I can't find a price on it anywhere

I would love to pick one of these up as a big brother to my Ken Block VXL 1/16

Curious where pricing lands, pretty simplistic design, not using full 1/8 electronics so that will reduce the price a bit.

I saw this the other day too and I think I might get one...it would cure my on-road addiction and I can set it up to go off-road too..

I always liked the traxxas Ken Block but it was waaaaaaay to small..1/8 is more for me. looks like it will be a blast to drive.

It does look pretty basic, but would be a blast! Their Nitro WR8 3.0 also has tarmac tyres. Wonder if they'll (or anyone) have some offroad tyres to suit. Edit - they are actually dirt tyres on the nitro version....

Was just about to buy a 1/10th rally car. In 2 minds now whether I should hold out for this or not??

looks like a stripped down Vorza chassis to me. nothing wrong wit hthat, should keep the $$ lower. which is a good thing.
I wonder how the valididty of the Traxxas Rally Cross car is and what scale it will be. Cant help but think they are just gonna put the new body on a 1/16 chassis with the slash geometry.

Don't think in any way it is based on the Vorza/D8 platform at all.

Made sense to me, but i have been wrong before

New chassis all together? Or something else im not aware of, im not an HPI guy, not too familiar with htem.

I wanted a 1/10 car too but im gonna wait for this. I could set it up for dirt and take it when I go to my MT races. Looks like it would be fun to drive.
