Aside from the from that, I like the idea of this truck. It appears they have re-invented their 18th chassis so new versions of the 18T and B shouldn't be that far off. Perhaps even an 18TC?
That'd be sweet.
My only reservation is that this vehicle is, in fact, 18th scale while the Slash is a good deal bigger.
Further proof that the Mini VXL models are better suited for the yard rather then the track.
Also......PHEW! Thank goodness that huge pic isn't on the first page anymore.
1. There are people who dislike smaller RCs. There are also people who have claimed they're dying. I see it on forums all the time.
2. Yes, I have. I'm not a fan of belts. So what's your point?
3. Any vehicle, including RCs, should function AND look good. Are you telling me you don't care about the looks of your RCs at all?
4. Plastic shocks are junk. I didn't mean the quality of the plastic is junk.
5. If you can find any "proof" from this ad that Traxxas minis don't belong on the track then maybe you have "ESPN".
6. Obviously, you're just trying to start petty bullshit! Grow up.
