Gonna need a more precise link than that buddy Couldn't see anything new on the homepage except yet another rehashed slash with a brushed motor and a ford body (you don't mean that do you!?).

Obviously you missed the spinning "X" with the date 11-30-11 right in the middle of the page...

What do you guys think Traxxas is going to release?

Actually, I did think to myself, what the hell is that huge spinning pointless X, oh well, where's this new product...?

What do I think Traxxas is going to release...hm, let me think about that for a sec...oh wait, actually I don't care.

Ok, that's harsh, sorry traxxas. Realistic guess? A Class 1 buggy.

Evidently they are releasing a giant radio-controlled X. It will be black and shiny, with gobs of understeer and a wateproof ESC that will be marketed to @#%$ and back.

LOL, you click on the "X" and it stops spinning, thats all. how lame.

anyway, perhaps traxxas found out about my 1/5 scale stampede VXL and decided to make a RTR version of my truck

i know there are plenty of crawlers, but it would be cool to see traxxas get in on the action. they have waterproof elecs which not many RTR crawlers have.

maybe they will make a slash 2wd into a buggy like the losi XXX SCB!

You crack me up, Foxy..... I don't really care either what Traxxas is releasing.. Because the next RC I am in the process of purchasing is the Axial EXO...

maybe they will make a 1/8th 4wd buggy seeing all they have to do is take the slash change the bumpers, and slap on 1/8th buggy wheels, and a wing mount. Not like it needs any real engineering, and reuses something they only recycled once already. They would call it the bandit 4X4
Or slap ST rims on the pede 4X4 with a rustler body, and call it the Rustler 4x4

Or just throw a new body on some tired old design, and slap NEW on it.
Those are my 3 guesses

That's funny right there. But i can only guess what it's going to be. A re-hash of what they already have.
A new car based on the mini e-revo chassis.

just once i'd like a company to use a normal letter, like F or R whats wrong with those? X this and X that, product ex, formula X blah blah blah blah blah... it's sooooo annooyyyinngggg idk what the big deal with an X is, it's just a sidways + sign...

mini rant over with... and i really hope this is something like the e revo, or the slash 4x4 meaning, a chassis that is actually new, not the same thing recycled under 20 different bodies with 8 paint scheme's....

the lug

Not as junk as Traxxas with their new "X" . . . . . .

BTW - I own a Droid 2 Global - I'm anti- Steve Jobs (what an ass, dead or not)

I mean nothing new to the industry. just another truggy/buggy or whatever that they just slapped together.

LOL! don't dis on traxxas too much, I bought my first rc car from them when I knew nothing about rc stuff. Then I bought a nitro rustler. it was aight but I didn't like nitro, too much maintenance. plus I can't compare traxxas to anybody cuz I haven't really driven any other brand. 

but I do know that they are not the best brand at ALL!
