not a bad idea by traxxas and i understand their thinking, but, as a long time traxxas and losi fan i can think of multiple things id rather see traxxas do than rebody a 10+ year old r/c. i personally dont think we will ever see a 1/8th scale traxxas r/c. not as long as they keep selling a ton of their current model line-up as it is. i would really like to see them add some accessories to their current models like maybe a faster brushless motor, decent springs with decent spring rates and correct lengths so you can actualy use SOME of the spacers ect. ect. ect. i know they will never be able to compete with the likes of castle creations, proline and so on in the variety and options but, some of their accessory line up at this time just does'nt make sense.
