I just watched RazorRC ‘s review and yikes Traxxas is fleecing people. When they adjusted the price they went the wrong way. I think $199 is a fair and competitive price for this truck for what you are getting, however I can see Traxxas justifying a $219 - $229 price point, but $269 no way.

If Traxxas would have delivered on what they were marketing this truck to be during prerelease then $269 is a bit high compared to it’s competitors, but at the same time fair. I can’t believe people are ok with a crap servo, outdated radio, and no slipper/center diff for $269 when there are much better options out there.

I can buy an Associated MT10 that doesn’t break and doesn’t need upgrades for $339, so why would anyone buy something that will end up costing a considerable amount more? A center diff/slipper and a servo for the Mini Maxx puts you in the same price range as the MT10 and from the sounds of it, those are must have upgrades.
