RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
I''m not a big Traxxas fan, but I think this is a step in the right direction for them. It''s been unveiled less than a day and already people are crying about how it''s just a new body on a Rustleranyone who thinks that needs to actually LOOK at it. Only parts that look like direct carryover to me are the transmission, motor, and suspension arms. The chassis plate is all new, the bumpers and braces are new, the shock towers and body mounts are new, the radio box and battery strap are new, as are the tires and rims. Hex hardware, full bearings, all-steel transmissiongood specs. Need I go on? The most important part to me is that the wheels are actually inside the wheel wells as they should be. It''s not perfect scale, but MUCH more realistic looking than the Losi competitor.
