New trucks are cool but I think this truck will hurt CORR-style rc racing more than help it.
A lot of people are digging the slash because it's cheap and fun. My guess is that this truck will cost significantly more and will be faster around a track and less durable (more race-like). So the two trucks probably won't really be race-able against each other. It will then turn what was a "just for fun" class into something where you have to keep buying new stuff to be competitive, like every other class.
Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see.
