RE: The Official Traxxas 4wd Slash Thread...
I'm really curious about the initial pricetag. If Tower has a Rustler VXL at $285; then you gotta figure that with 2.4Ghz, a 4wd drivetrain, killer body and wheel/tire package, and a 7 cell battery & charger included then we could be looking at $400 or better. That is what concerns me. There's no question whether or not it's a significant vehicle that will have all the other manufacturers scrambling to build some competition, but at what cost? It looks like a killer ride, but I hope Traxxas doesn't send folks into sticker shock. A big part of what made the original Slash a hit was the $200 pricetag, making it affordable for many to get into the hobby for the first time.
