I don't care until they make a totally new higher end vehicle. Enough Rustler/Pede/Slash/Maxx mashups and re-releases. Make a 1/5 gasser or something.

RE: Traxxas Stampede 4x4 VXL?
did they finally take a slash 4X4 and fling talons on it with a pede body?
Its hard to tell from the pics
Traxxas the leader in innovation of reusing the same chassis in 25,000 different vehicles

it kinda looks like it....thats not as cool now but at least if you buy a slash 4x4 or this you can convert them into each other.

That sure must have taken them all 10 months since the slash came out to design, which some people did within 10 minutes of owning the slash

Traxxas is the Wal-Mart of the RC community. Crap loads of cheap of american designed, chinese made RC products sold for a low price point with tons of marketing that excites and convinces everyone to buy their products that are at best, decent as a jack of all trades and good at none of them with substandard product quality.

Nothing wrong with being American designed and Chinese made, it's all about the quality control and how much effort the designers and manufacturers put in. But yeah, their stuff is falling farther and farther behind if you ask me, very entry level. Still fun and good for bashing with though.

RE: Traxxas Stampede 4x4 VXL?
*** $399 street price? Get outta here. The Emaxx is bigger and cheaper even if it is brushed... I just don't get these prices, the Slash 4x4 and Pede 4x4...among other things.
Next item on the list, 1/10th Rally 4x4! Based on the proven Slash 4x4 chassis! Complete with a fugly hothatch body!
OK so enough bashing already. Geez it seems like anytime any company comes out with something new (even if it is an old design etc) people just can't help taking pot shots at them instead of appreciating what it offers, even if it is not the newest coolest thing since gold pan chassis toy I mean RC10's. However, the fact that folks have been asking for Pede 4x4 since I can remember from hmm when I've been into R/C in 2003, yah I'd say there they deserve a slap on the wrist for taking forever. And now again with the Slash bandwagon, they just had to release the Slash 4x4 then a year later the Pede 4x4, instead of a Pede 4x4 like 5 years sooner.

RE: Traxxas Stampede 4x4 VXL?
It's about time Traxxas brought a 4wd Stampede to market. It's only 15 years late and everybody quit caring
Traxxas' stuff is made in Taiwan, not China.
If you're going to complain about something, at least get your facts straight.

NOBODY saw this coming!!!!
Looks like it could be fun, I don't like that front body mount though....looks too....stretched out. Guess we'll see how it turns out

in regards to the 1/10 rally, i think (and kind of hope) they will make a 4x4 bandit variant first then put a big body on it. that might actually be slightly competitive with tamiya.

I just find traxxas too expensive when I look at Associated, HPI, and other manufacturers.

Slo-V Flyer its not that were taking pot shots at them because they did this or using another RC chassis over again. Were doing it due to how long it took them to do what should have been blatantly obvious
I personally want the mini summit though
Or I could convert my new mini revo over when I get bored of it

What are you talking about... More than half their models are over priced. Revo is OP in anyform nitro or electric/BL. The mini revo is nice tho.

Slo, what's funny is ThunderbirdJunkie paid $170 for his SC10 kit and a Slash RTR is $200. an SC10 RTR is $200ish.
In 1996 when ThunderbirdJunkie bought his RC10B2, it was $140 for the kit whereas his stampede kit was $130.
Hmm...10 dollars more for a stronger, race-bred car...or a Stampede.
Tough decision[&:]

I believe the HPI Firestorm and whatever equivalent Losi T or whatever are around the same price as the Rustler XL-5, no? However the T4 from AE is still $250 RTR, and for good reason. So I think Traxxas is not quite overpriced on everything, yet. But funny on that reference you gave about the Pede and B2... then again, one's a RACE buggy, and one's a 2wd monster truck, so really, can't compare them.
