And Traxxas can thank all of us for working the bugs out of the Monster.

The AE RC10s are great stadium trucks but to bash hard and to run in grass they fail. I had one and bet the snot out of it. I got tired of repairing it. Castle has been doing airplane esc for years well. They will do well with traxxas also.

Mine has ran well so far. Fine in grass, awsome on dirt. The Losi XXT is nice as a basher as well. Got fix the tranny, it didn't hold up too well to a VXL system. I sold one of my Maxx trucks, the Twin is the next to go. I'm thinking about an RC8. I need another 4wd but don't need the power my truck has. We'll see what else Traxxas put the 775 motor in. Would love to see it in a Slayer, I might look into that. I still think the MMM is a bad idea for Traxxas. The quality will go down because of the mass production and the motors are going to have to be out sourced. Only time will tell. I have to say that the brushless Revo is going to fare MUCH better than that wannabe crawler they have going.


The answer is no. And yes, mine is faster.

Hehe, so much for the mods locking all the threads about problems with CC products over on the traxxas forums.

I like the idea of the revo mini brushless. Could be a fun little toy to break out on occasion... and let the kids have fun with once they get better at controlling the mlst2 they have now.

Could be a Brushless 4tec. Rumor going around that they have been working on a new Monster Buggy

Lots of reading to do today! Well I'm putting my 2c in and saying it's not a 1/16 revo! Remember that the slayer is based off a 2.5 revo which is smaller than the 3.3 which is a little smaller than the E-REVO. It may just be a E-Slayer and they kept the same dimmensions instead of redesigning a brand new body. Then if you throw on some stampede talons, and some revo style bumpers it may be a 1/10 or 1/12. I'm putting the E-REVO as 1/8 as it's the same size as a 1/8 truggy.

As for Tempted thinking that this will be the doom of CC I think the opposite. First the motors are already being built in China anyways because they're factory here can't handle them, so basically they are being outsourced from the begining! This could mean that we will have to wait a bit longer when sending in for repairs as I think many noobs will buy it and destroy it! I think that these 2 companys doing a joint venture like this is great, similar to Losi and Spektrum.

Also I'm sure that this is why the combos haven't been released yet! They had tto build enough for Traxxas first before releasing to us!

It's not just an E-Slayer, it is 1/16th scale...check out this pic and read the text on the info card:

Ok you got me there! I didn't go to any of the links and that wasn't shown in the original photo in this thread. I'm still gonna say that they are Stampede talons and not a whole new size tire though so it may match up better size wise as a 1/12 scale. Traxxas calls the E-REVO 1/10, yet they call a Stampede 1/10 as well! I bet its pretty close in size to a crt.5. Looks pretty cool but I can't see owning 2 of the same vehicle just on different scales.

I can't see why that is more exciting than the E-REVO Brushless. The E-REVO brushless would have to be the most exciting thing to ever come out of Traxxas
