Not that it personally matters to me. No matter how good any Traxxas ever gets I will never buy one. I would rather not be a part of the hobby at all than support the company that has attempted time and time again to destroy any and all competition on the market and will probably continue doing so forever.

Supporting Traxxas is literally supporting the end of this hobby and unfortunately at this time there is no argument against that and thats just sad. Until they make amends in some way, I won't be purchasing anything from them. Haven't owned one for 15 years anyways.

But regardless the new truck is nowhere near as strong as the Maxx or X-Maxx. Those two are still in the lead for now as far as Traxxas is concerned.
