Now for a little joke for all the "Traxxas haters". Isn't that just a rehash of an old product with a new engine. Why can't they come up with something completely new?

Status: offline 		Im gonna guess (and hope) we can get out hands on one for 650.00ish. I know i want one. No, if they were gonna pull a Traxxas, it would be a Savage still sporting the original .21 with different rims and tires wearing a new body. Savage SCT, yours for only 750.00 but you need an Itouch to start it....

well look at the 1/5th scale one extended the chassis a bit, and slapped a sct body on it with almost another $400 where you could bu the flux, and the TCS 1/5th scale kit for $300 less

Status: offline 		Something new? Bergonzoni made 1/8 scale gasoline powered cars 15 years ago. They didn't catch on due to relatively poor performance in comparison to .21 powered. Hopefully the engine HPI will be using will have enough torque and RPM to make this a hit.

No if I can upgrade my Savage to the gas engine that would be nice...

Doubt it though.

Yep, if its not significantly less than the 1/5 scalers its not going to sell very well.

ok ill admit it.  i didn't think they'ed follow through with it.  i figured they had forgotten all about it just like all of us did.  seriously a 1 year wait?  then they dropped a few other "new" cars and blah blah blah.  i gave up.

i still bet it's stupid expensive though.  i said on another forum im betting it's about $700 retail at first.  then once the first wave is overwith it will drop to 600 something.  
which makes it to expensive for me.  which is probably fine because i bet its louder than the nitro and therefor i have no convenient place to run it
