Don't get your hopes up Linc. You don't get to sit on his lap yet.

Every one thinks water droplets. Maybe they are sweat beads? Something that can scream down the road. Or work hard? My "RC Christmas" is so long it will be awhile before I get what ever it is.

For the record, I thought of sweat beads as well, ie an overpowered BL system throwing off tons of heat and cooking the car.

Yea, it is rather funny. Some people find it annoying for some reason.

Yeah I like how Traxxas comes out with their products IMO I think it is going to be a MT, I really hope it is.

If it is they will sell a lot of them.

16 hours left.

If it is a mt it better be better than the g3r if I am going to buy it.

Even if it IS a BL Revo, it probably won't be built to the power levels we all are used to. I doubt it will be as good as the G3R and still be priced at an affordable point for most people.

The only thing I could really see really NEEDING upgrade on the revo would be the diffs. Other than that.... the rest of the drivetrain is pretty solid. Hopefully they design an upgraded BL worthy tranny for it also and dump the stupid manual 2 speed like in the emaxx. Thats assuming that a revo is whats "Next"

If it is a BL Revo those guys who are selling Revo conversion kits are gonna be pissed. Especially Tekno RC who is just now trying to launch a pretty nice looking (IMO) conversion kit.

Yeah, that would suck, but "them are the breaks"!

Still, there is something to be said for taking something and modifying it to suit YOUR goals. A sense of accomplishment and having something no one else does. Stock is just boring IMO.

[jhautz]

I agree totally. I cant remember buying something stock and even running it once before modifying something. If they just made the stock trucks better I wouldn't have to spend so much time modifying them. Of course... I probably would loose interest in the hobby if there was no mod work to be done. Thats my favorite part.

I dont think so, there will still be a market just not as big for the guys that have a nitro revo & want to convert without buying a another truck.

[BrianG]

I think Traxxas should offer kit or roller versions of their trucks to satisfy all the modders out there.

[jhautz]

I doubt that will ever happen. Traxxas is THE rtr company. They originated it. I seriuosly doubt they will abandon their roots.

We all have to remember that they used to offer kits way before they originated the RTR craze. There is still hope...
