I agree. The CC motor and MMM combo alone is priced $349 by CC. Add in the value of the 2.4GHz radio and it's not bad at all.

Im in the same boat, ive done a crap load of research, and decided to convert mine instead of buying a E. And I told the lhs owners watch traxxas come out with a bl version. :grrrrrr: :slap:

Same here. I just preordered a Medusa 36-70-2000Kv yesterday but thinking of canceling my order in favor of the CC combo. I guess I'll just take whichever arrives first :mdr:.

I ordered the mmm combo so all I need now is the cool mmm tiedown thing on the new one. I cant wait.
Anyone know when the mmm combos are due to ship and when the new e-revo is due out?

I believe the MMM combos are supposed to be available end of October, but that can be pushed back if they dont get all the kinks worked out. As far as the E-revo, my guess is as good as yours.

Where did you order your combo from?

I ordered it from towerhobbies b/c I got it for $275 shipped. I couldnt pass up that deal.
All I need now is the cool new traxxas esc tie down for it. Then I will be set. Well I guess I need castle to put out the combo too!!
I am running a feigao 10l right now(running 34mph) and I have a fan on top of it to keep he motor cool. Man I have trashed one 60mm fan and now 3 80mm fans. The 80mmfans seem to cool better but if I flip the truck hard It will trash the fan. So I cant wait to get this new combo in so I can clean up this truck and and not have to worry about the heat

price is down to 685 on tower... cancel your 989 preorders :wink:

Hmm I just realised this thread hasn't been posted in in 4 days so you probably already know. Oh well... for those who dont :neutral:

It's been @ $649 elsewhere. Can't remember where

$635

It'll be to 599 w/ coupon by the time the release date gets here. By early next year I'd even est 550 range. Erevo has a ton of profit in it, other than the chassis most everything else was a pull from the revo. The "cost" for the new brushless parts - the cost of the old brushed parts will keep things more reasonable and I'm sure with the traxxas volume they get a better price than the "msrp" of the castle combo you guys keep tossing around.. LOL People have gotten the combo's at retail for 275, so what does that tell you about cost when most items operate on a 30-50% GPM.

i agree, i think for who ever waits it out will only end up paying in the high 5s later on.

$599 at one of my LHS

Can just use the $75 coupon to preorder on tower and get it for $610 which is sweet deal i reckon... hopefully it only gets lower.

skellyo has us all beat :P

Traxxas would do them selves good by releasing a "race" version as well before xmas... This is the model that could push 650-700, include all the "hop ups" that they left off.. center diff, red pushrods and turnbuckles, 17mm hex's w/ racing tires, upgrade the shocks to the dual rate, sway bars etc.. mimic the platinum release in many ways.. For that matter, if they sold two "race" kits they would be even better.. one setup for drag racing with a road tire, and another setup for dirt racing with the response pro's.
