Default New Rustler VLX????

What do you guys think of this new beast? Don't know about the price tag it would bring, you could prolly buy a xxxt or t4 and stick a mamba in it for what this will cost. don't know though. thought i would see what your guys opinions on it was.

If you bothered to scroll down just a little bit, you would have noticed another 1 or 2 threads well populated by now, on this same topic.

i also started a poll what would you pick a losi xxxt brushless or the rustler vxl brushless. let just say it doesnt look good for the rusty.

This place seems to have a big of a Losi/overall racing bias, IMO. Their price is actually pretty darn good for what you get! I'm sure that Traxxas will sell quite a few of them!

i totally disagree just look at the forum sizes... RCU has a HUGE rusty and traxxas forum/thread.. then look at the losi thread its tiny compared to it.. people just know what is better than the other.

I think that traxxas makes there own suggestions on what they think will sell and what wont. If they'd have an electris revo or possibly a mini they'd make a killing!

People cannot truly know which is better until the trucks come out. And like I've told you before... You're comparing a race truck to a bashing truck. Why do you insist on doing that?

I still think they should make a electric Revo. Even if it is not brushless. I would buy one instantly!

The problem is that there is actually a company selling E-Revos! Kershaw designs or something like that... I think that Traxxas needs something totally new.
