Just thought you might want to know...

Those look so realistic. I'm thinking about getting into RC soon to take up my free time.

That looks like fun ! Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between one of these and a normal short course traxxas slash ? I had a ford raptor body slash brushless a couple years back that was an absolute blast. If i buy another it will be a basher of some type !

1) This one is a larger 1/7 scale vs. 1/10 scale.

vs.

2) This one has a solid rear axle.

If you want a basher, Traxxas just released info their new E-Revo 2.0:

man that new e-revo looks awesome ! I have messed around with them. They are great bashers ! way better than the hpi basher I have seen here at the local hobby shop. Guys that know there stuff said stick with traxxas. I beat the absolute crap out of my slash - including accidently fully submerging it in a little ravine - could not kill that thing lol

That new E-Revo 2.0 basically has the beefed up drivetrain of the X-Maxx!

Kevin S. · Feb 9, 2018

which is a beast ! reminds of the off road guys putting 1 ton axles in a Tacoma haha

I’m going tomorrow to pre order one of those new e-revos. There’s been some talk on the Traxxas forums of some local hobby shops actually having them in stock tomorrow, but I doubt it.

I’ve never really been into rc’s but that thing is sick and I’d like to have something to keep me occupied from time to time lol

Are you a member of the Traxxas forum? If you are, what is your screen name there?

Great group of guys there (at least in the Slash 4x4 sub-forum).
Have fun!

Well apparently they’re not in the Horizon system yet (idk what that is lol) so he said it’ll probably be another two weeks before they have them.

BSP06XRU · Feb 27, 2018

Horizon is a major distributor:

Traxxas' website says the release date fire the E-Revo 2.0 is late February.
Any day now!

Yeah I read that, seems like everyone likes these things. I have a green one coming in for me at the hobby shop in town here but he doesn’t know exactly when he’ll get them. I went ahead and picked up the dual charger and two of the 3s batteries, and the Traxxas link card that goes in the controller.

I made an account over there but I mostly just creep right now lol. Same username as here.

I just bought a Traxxas Slash 4x4 last week. I’m about 900 into this RC car. It’s a lot of fun though

justin13703 · Feb 13, 2019

After a year (due to buying another house lol) I finally got it. The thing is a beast. Stupid fast.

Gadget · Feb 13, 2019

Very cool!

I used to be into R/C planes. That hobby was eating through my paycheck very fast. I found that flying the real planes was actually cheaper and got an airplane and helicopter rating.

I am sure it would be the same way for this little truck. Cheaper to just keep building my off road 4Runner.

Welcome!

Time for URD to go UDR!
