I dunno, unless if you need immediate replacement parts or enjoy exploring a vast aftermarket with questionable options, I'm having a difficult time seeing the value in a Traxxas.
Ah Traxxas makes some great RCs, plenty of value there, just depends on the individual. In this case, it appears some late product decisions and oversight might miss the mark on the launch of the mini Maxx.
I’ve been into RCs for a couple decades, love them or hate them, I’ve met plenty of new comers to the hobby that started with a Traxxas vehicle. We need more people in our hobby. I build most of what I drive now, at least to some extent, but it all started with RTR to instill the bug and buy from lesser known brands that have higher value because I can build what I want.
