Can't, Peter V from Traxxas messaged me asking me not to say and how I figured it out. They've removed it from the site.

Wow, a short coarse based on the Revo. What a frickin joke. So basicaly they haven't had to make a single new part? Erevo with a Slayer suspention, way to be innovative TRX.[:'(]

So basically that would be an E Slayer rather than a 4wd Slash since the Slayer is built off the Revo chassis now while the slash is off the rustler (?)

Isn't this the page source for the new product, looks like it doesn't give it away hopefully it is something completely new.

<pre id="line56"><script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('/v2/apps/jwplayer/player-licensed.swf','ply','823','488','9','#ffffff');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('autostart','true');
so.addVariable('file','/v2/video/traxxas/091008_itscoming.flv');
so.addVariable('image','/v2/video/traxxas/091008_itscoming.jpg');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>
</pre>

I'm gonna stay on my phone to see what it is. Hopefully its a new 1/8th with a big block. Maybe I will get it after I get the Savage or maybe I will put the Savage on hold. Let's see. Its gonna be midnight soon on the east coast but will the mid and west coast be able to see it also?

Somehow I don't think so. I think something along the lines of a SC or 1/8th is what we're looking at.

Default RE: I found Traxxas new vehicle on the Traxxas Site

I myself am intrigued to find out what it is. However I can guarantee someone out there will be unimpressed and say something stupid like big deal, or so what. OK, yeah it is still Traxxas, but I personally like my Slash and at my clubs last race the only glow truck still running by the end of the day was an S-maxx. So say what you will about their quality and durability. Remember though, Traxxas is promoted as entry level rc, which I think they do quite well.

So bring on 3pm!!!!!!!
