i was really hoping for something new too. what happened to these companies. all they are making is new models of th cars they already have. if you were to ask me the only reason the slash was a big hit was because it was the first new idea in a while. traxxas just keeps making new cars with their new brushless systems in it and calling them new. however they arent new at all. i bet most people have brushless slashes. the only difference is 4wd
