I hope they are coming out with an affordable 1/5th scale gasser. That would be awesome.

RE: You asked for it
Traxxas at one time did have a 5th scale gasser buggy. I do wish that they would bring it back and update it.
I dont know if Traxxas will make an "affordable" gasser, I would think it would be in the similar price range as an HPI 5B SS kit (around the $850-950 range, which in reality is not too bad considering the kit used to cost $1200 and the RTR 5T used to be $1500+)

Huh, I didn't know they made a 1/5 gasser before. I thought that gassers were a fairly new thing. Guess that shows just how inexperienced I am.

Traxxas had the "Monster Buggy", which was 1/6 scale, just as all large scale gas off-roaders were. HPI and the clones are the only 1/5. Everyone else is 1/6 buggy.
I bought my Traxxas Monster Buggy over a decade ago. At the time, it wasn't half bad.

RE: You asked for it
I just checked on eBay and a almost complete Monster Buggy (less radio gear) went for $250 shipped. I wish that I had seen this before the auction ended.
