I don't understand why they have such an ugly body on a "MT", at least the E-Maxx ands X-Maxx resemble a truck, but the E-revo looks like some fantasy body and that rear wing is childish as well. Sad that all manufacturers make RCs for kids these days. The e-revo 2.0 is aimed towards kids with rich parents not towards enthusiasts, "daddy giw mi rewo pls" .

Arrma also has some childish models but big rock and outcast isn't one of them.

Why base a purchase off of big squid?

Seriously read the mt4-g3 review and kraton and most arrma rigs

Why? Basically the same thing. The best yet then best ever and then...

Yes I have seen the Revo up close and it is impressive but it still handles like the old Revo
Main reason I got rid of mine

That is a weird reason not to use a review. Something is always the best ever and the idea that more recent vehicles become better than the older vehicles is just expected ...

Well maybe because these guys are local to me and I know better I guess.

Best reviews are in this forum.

Take the proline MT 4x4 for instance I read everbodies feed back or complaints

So if I want to buy it I already know what fails and what accels cause I got different driving styles and all ages that bought there own rig therefore I know for a fact there isn’t a bias opinion or some fan base that’s just trying to stir the pot.

all depends how people bash

some are gentle, some are regular basher, some are hardcore basher, some are parts breaker, some jumps their rcs 25 feet high...

well even my video could misguide you : i don't do speed runs like most bashers and my vids don't show that the hyper mt is a happy front wheel lifter ! aussie playground's videos could be more common

Checked one out last night. The LHS at my track had one sitting there. Pretty sweet, for sure.

Anyone who is on the fence about buying one should wait a couple months and we will know from the community and real world owners the common issues or weak points of the truck. Then you'll know how it stacks up against the current rtr top dogs... the Arrma BLX cars.

Traxxas make a big deal out of the "maxx style" diffs and torque based bla bla center drive. Basically they have just slapped on low grade mod 1.5 ring gears onto the x maxx diff case and put a low grade center diff. Parts that buggys and truggys have been using for 15 years except they use real hardware not cheap form pressed like traxxas does.
