that a new mini rc!? awesome!

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

looks cool

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

like an emaxx/stampede hybrid

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

wow, waterproof and brushless ready and good ground clearance! i love it. except for the 12t titan, i love it all.
this truck could replace the rusty's, in my opinion. i like the body and tires looking like the race trucks, much nicer than stock rusty body. i wonder how closely the price will be to a new xl5 rusty or pede. the upgraded tranny, waterproof parts, BB would cost alot to add to a rusty or pede.
traxxas must have realized that customers would like their 2wds to have the waterproof of the new emaxx, and figured they could make money buy putting them in a new chassis.
i say, that if they had chosen a better motor, id go buy one asap!

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I dont think its a mini.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I like the look of it, anyone hear anything about pricing yet?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

i think that the price will make or break it. if it can be sold for $200, that would be awsome.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Talk about 90% reuse and 10% innovation... these guys should pair up with GM.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Here is a comparison picture (Slash next to Rustler VXL) that was posted in the Traxxas forums:

Personally, I think it looks horrible... [:'(] (Although I understand where its design came from)

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

maybe with a better body it would look decent

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I agree.

3.5" ground clearance and waterproof electronics are great features though. :D

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

wow, in the vids it looked better. the front seems larger than the back! they should have made the fenders wider, so the wheels can go up into the body. as is the body sits to high.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

where you find that its waterproof?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I like the way that losi and traxxas is going with the corr style trucks. This is a fresh look instead of the old and boring

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

read through.

I wonder how it would hold to bashing/jumping?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

If its is anything like the pede and rustler, it will be one tough truck

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

On the site. It comes with the Traxxas waterproof servo, a waterproof VXL, and the new mini receiver in a waterproof receiver box.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

i like it i was considering a losi desert truck and now this came out. i like waterproof for mud and snow

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Well, I will say this having waterproof electronics is a "BIG" plus up here in the Pacific Northwest.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

no VXL i think you mean XL5

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Wow from what I just read posted by a traxxas employee over at the traxxas forums its going to be around the same price as a 3605 stampede.

Thats about 180$ @ towerhobbies.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

It looks bloated.... If they could make it a little bit smaller and make the body look better then I'd probably buy one. And if the price was $180 that would be amazing.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Hey that truck reminds me of something.. [&:]

These companies need to come out with something new! Something exiting! They keep going with the same trucks, or copying one another. Lets see some minis, more brushless, etc..

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Anyone notice how whenever Traxxas has a slower vehicle the video of it is constantly in slow-mo?

Thought that was a little funny. :)

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

The slow-mo seems to be their trademark. Even the VXL vids have some slow-mo. And I think the concept v-twin Emaxx vid had some slow mo. Now that i think about it I think theres slow-mo shots in every vid they put out.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I really want the slash

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

its gunna be out around may 22

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Yeah should be out on the 22nd.

I like it cause they used there waterproof stuff in it. And its different from the usual traxxas RTR.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I wonder how it will run on a MM5700 and 3s3p lipo?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I'm not buying this. Losi and Associated are coming out with some in the next couple of months....I'll wait..
This truck is nice, but the corr 2 thundertech truck is better looking for the same price tag.:eek:

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I'll hopefully get one and run my redcat brushless system. it's a good system. ask streetracer about the massive torque it has:D

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

tese companies are killing me... i just bought a axial ax10 and have almost 500 n it, just bought my new computer, and now i HAVE to buy this!!! I cant wait till it comes out, just i time for school to end and t get this, i am sure e will have a desert truck class at my lhs with traxxas and losi. I want it now..... What to sell?????hmm

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

if it is priced at $180, thats totally worth it for the waterproof parts, better looking chassis layout and steel tranny.
id buy it and slap the body from my rusty on it, then sell the body for $15. :)

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I'll buy that body from you, I like red lol....

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Same price? People are saying a likely $180 for the Traxxas and the Thundertech is $385 on their website. That's twice as much. Can't even call that teh same ball-park!

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

associated has one coming out?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

the Losi one looks WAY COOLER! [8D]

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

i want to see the slash only with waterproff vxl and 4wd. i would buy 3 if they did that. they did with the e maxx but not everyone wants that much truck lol
