Thank you, JTheissen, that made my day! And tempted- I agree with you on some parts, I just felt like playing the devil's advocate and stirring the pot a little. It's nowhere near as capable as a purpose built crawler or as racy as a pimped out brushless e-maxx, but I for one cannot wait to get stuck in the mud with a summit, lock in the diffs and drive my way out. I will drive it in a manner that is sensible for a bone stock traxxas vehicle and I beleive it will be fun. It may only top out at 20, but sometimes spinning your wheels and getting no where are the best times in life! L8R!

i have the older wide maxx for about 4years with the bomb proof torpedo chassis and its done it all from nasty brushless powered mud truck with f/r spools, to all out racer, i am glad to see these locking diffs i hate changing out those spools for diffs, and anything you put a brushless in your gonna have issues somewhere along the lines in drivetrain i know i have, ring and pinions mostly, over all i think its a good move for traxxas alot of people are into this type of driving style, spools put a ton of stress on everything and it sucks when you have to choose either or depending on how you want to drive that day

i saw that venom racing has a new toy, a 2.2 crawler with optional locking diffs which looks sick
