It definitely does look cool, and from the videos I've seen it has a lot of power and is a good basher. It's still designed like a super simple electric truck though. It's nothing special and it's way overpriced. If you ask me, Traxxas should make a 1/5 scale Revo or Slayer, gas powered with inboard suspension on either the Revo or Slayer style, now THAT would be awesome. I love 1/5 scale gas trucks, and am currently in love with the Losi 5ive-T. Now if there were a 1/5 gas Slayer, that would be awesome. Still, the X-Maxx does seem like a lot of fun, but it is rather expensive for what it is.
