We should be asking Traxxes when will they finally make a 1/8 buggy or truggy or 1/10 truck capable of competing with AE, Kyosho, Ofna, and Losi instead of demanding the other companies to make a vehicle to compete with the Slash.
Traxxas never came out and said, "Hey buy the Slash and start a new racing class at your local track." It's us racers that decided to do it on our own. They just make the car, and we do what we want, whether it be race, bash, or both.
Traxxas is big because they cater to the masses, not primarily racers like AE. Racers make up a very small percentage of RC enthusiasts. You could ask them if or when they'll make a capable racer, but they run their company how they want, not how YOU want. They make what they want to make and don't demand other companies to follow their footsteps. Why would they try to create competition for themselves?
