I'm definately with u on this one. If they had a nitro version of it i would consider looking into getting one. But since they dont(at least not yet anyway) It doesnt totally have my 100% interest.

Its so new that it doesnt even show up in Traxxas' list of vehicles!

Questions I have for it:
1. Top Speed

2. Weight

3. Scale

4. How well does it compare to other Traxxas vehicles? Within reason though[sm=50_50.gif]

really, it's just a rustler with a different body,


nothing to make too much of a fuss over

it won't handle that well compared to race trucks, but it should be a fun beginner RC

Hey,
It looks pretty cool I like the replication aspect of it. I do agree that a brushless system would make it a lot better. It seems like a fancy Rusty. Waterproof feature is awesome. I do know one thing for sure, the real CORR trucks are BAD A**.

The best part about it is that we now have waterproof servos to put in our Revos. No more "trying" to waterproof our trucks, just replace the servos and receiver with these new factory ones.

Hope traxxas decides to make a nitro version. My thought would be make a nitro version with 4 wheel drive. That would give traxxas something that is different and have a little bit of a buggy, truggy, stampede, jato and revo all in one.

They are gonna be around the same price as a Xl-5 pede so somewhere around $180

Brushlees= no maitenence for motors. They last forever and you don''t have to cut the motor or replace the brushes. Its a lot easier then getting the correct lathe to cut the motor and do so every month.

What part of NY do you live in?
