RE: ****NEW TRAXXAS RC TRUCK****
well if i were to get one i would get the grave digger one. it looks different than the stampede. the other one is just a stampede with a different body.

RE: ****NEW TRAXXAS RC TRUCK****
same truck + different colors = new truck.
Of course. wouldn't expect anything less from traxxas
but of course I like gravedigger! probably a good "upgrade" to the stampede.

First thing that I thought when I looked at it was a stampede with some colored parts and a diffrent body shell. This kind of seems like traxxas way of creating compititon with the HPI wheelie king. Its really not too hard to pump out new RCs all the time if you just change a couple things and use a existing platform. But I have to say it is much cooler than a regular Stampede.

RE: ****NEW TRAXXAS RC TRUCK****
I don't think they are trying to really call it a new platform. I think they are just trying to market it to a younger age group. I think there target age is 6, 7, 8 year olds. Monster truck events are great for the family and the younger age group. Kids really get a kick out of monster trucks. I think this line will get the younger age group to be excited about RC. This will help out the dad who's son wants an RC to look like one of the favorites in these events. I've seen some of the members painting skills and there are several really good looking Grave Diggers RC's posted on this site way before Traxxas come up with the idea. For me who's painting skills are at a beginner level, this will help me give something to my kids that I could not produce, yet. If Traxxas could keep the price down around the original Stampede, I think they will have a big hit with the younger crowd.
Again if other RC company's would think about marketing a little more. HPI who has the perfect platform for this could have market this, there would be a lot more Wheel King owners out there.

RE: ****NEW TRAXXAS RC TRUCK****
Krazy Chicken- I looked at A-main and the Wheely King themed bodies look really good. I wonder why they didn't do more of the monster truck theme? As for marketing to younger children you need to go after the trucks that look really different. For example Jurassic Attack, Grave Digger, Batman truck, and Snakebite. These are just some of the trucks that really get the kids going. I think Traxxas is really looking at that younger age market.

RE: ****NEW TRAXXAS RC TRUCK****
Traxxas spends to much on advertisement and not enough on development.
I feel that you can make a car that can bash but also that can handle well enough to race and I don't see traxxas doing that with much of thier stuff.
I run a vxl system not because I like traxxas just because I got it under 40 bucks.

I remember Kyosho doing that Thunderbird Junkie. Anyone remember the USA-1? They made a Nitro and Electric version.
Personally if you want a monster truck and wanna spend a little more money, get a Clodbuster, or TXT-1.
