Looks to me like it's a TC or Pan Car with a truck body. Besides, it's Crapssas. Great intro to the hobby cars, TERRIBLE real hobbiest cars. Any company that offers NOT ONE kit is ridiculous to me. Call me old school, but you're supposed to BUILD your RC's.

Say what?!!! Thats sick! Forget getting a kit. If you want a kit go buy an f-150 from tamiya. There damn detailed. This on the other hand!!!!!! Man I have been waiting for something cool like this. First thing that HAS TO go is that body scheme... I hate Kyle Bush...

This truck is a Nitro 4tec without the engine installed. Traxxas did this as a promo and to feel out people's reactions and demand. As of now their is NO plan to produce a vehicle like this. However, if you write to Traxxas and tell them you'd like them to make something like this they will take it very seriously and possibly produce one. For now, it's just a picture of a 4Tec with a truck body on it though.

I didn't go to the Traxxas forum, however, I did a google search and came with this same answer at several web sites and forums. Some of the sites were online magazines that seem fairly reputable.

You probably hate that women are allowed to vote and blacks are allowed to use the same water fountain as you.

Trucks arint meant to be drifters. this is just my opinion and everyone can think what they want but trucks in real life dont drift, and if by some chance and someone has transfored a truck into a difter it is no longer a truck in my opinion. Buying a 500 dollar off road monster truck to drift with is just stupid to me, once again just my opinion.

I have to disagree with ya on that one. Have you ever driven a powerful 2WD pickup. They are practically drifters stock. I had a 5.9 Dakota RT a few year back and that truck spend more time sideways roasting the tires than anything else. in the 2 yrs I owned it I went through 4 sets of rear tires in 24K miles. My basically stock 2003 Tacoma 4x4 will get sideways in a heartbeat if you're careless with the gas and is surprisingly easy to drive with the tail out.

well there is a differance between dirting and power sliding and burning out. yea i had chevy 4x4 1500 with a 350 in it, lifted 3 inches and sat on 35" extra wide, that i could easily kick the rear around in, but by no means did i drift or even attempt to drift with it. I learned my lesson quick about the cost of burn outs the first year I had the truck, $800 in tires burtup in one year lol, I was 16 and it was my first real truck

lol my real truck drifts just fine stock with a limited slip, but it is kinda scary due to body roll. but that doesn't matter.

Traxxas started the onroad stuff. It wasnt popular, so they changed direction and made the T-maxx, then E-maxx.
Good trucks and the Revo isnt bad either. But thier onroad stuff just wasnt that spectacular.

Now slash on oval is a blast! Id never run my slash any other way. After a few races offroad, the Sc10's were klobbering me.
Oval is much different the slash is competitive on oval, i can usually get the SC10's on oval.[>:]

Traxxas did NOT start on road RC. Try companies like AE, TRC, Bolink, Delta, etc... Their are even predecessors to these, but these brands are the ones that made things really blow up in the 70's and 80's.

I'll throw in Japans Kyosho and Tamiya, they were the best the Far East had to offer.......
