New Traxxas vehicle!!

[JAILBIRD]

My guess is a mini Summit. It seems like the two things TRX is focused on (mini and Revo platform). The locking diffs would be a challenge but who knows they might just carry over a name. The mini "Slash" is a Revo based 4wd thus making it more of a mini E-Slayer.

Hey guys I figured out what it is... I found the source code for the video its
images/homepage/272x180_slash_slayer/272x180_slash_slayer.swf'
Basically its a 4wd slash or a E-slayer, Basically work with that code.. Seems like traxxas isn't smart enough to have a "Code name", I don't think TRX can get any smarter

Nope.

The guys at BYT already explained thats just the advert for the slash & slayer further down the page- look at the dimensions for that code you posted- 272x180 pixels is tiny, the video is more like ~800x 600 pixels.

Not to worry though, all will be revealed shortly...

Oh ok...
I called it guys.. Personally I think i like it and will want to pick it up and run a MMM combo on 6s and have some crazy nice runtimes... I Personally think it looks good and a nice design. Good job Traxxas.

Great, probably yet another vehicle based on either the erevo or the ancient crappy pede tranny...

[jayjay283]

when you get the pede tranny made for .49 cents in China and sell it to Americans for $50 and they buy it, why fix what 'aint broke'

Something "new" would be great. But, do you guys really think TRX (who specializes in RTR beginner vehicles) would come out with something for the serious racer?

Be advised that we're not flipping the switch on this bad boy until 3pm central time tomorrow (4pm for those of you on the east coast, 1pm for those of you on the west coast).

So, no reveal at midnight! Can't wait to blow your minds tomorrow afternoon though...

I figure they would have given it away by opening a section for the new vehicle on their/traxxas forum

"So, no reveal at midnight! Can't wait to blow your minds tomorrow afternoon though... "

I am eagerly awaiting my mind to be thoroughly un-blown

I wouldnt be surprised if it was a "buggy" I mean plenty of you were putting SC bodies on buggies so why not put a buggy body on a slayer or a slayer with an e revo chassis

[nitrostarter]

3pm? WTF!!!!

[hootie7159]

That sucks...only 1300 for us Cali folk :)

It'll be revealed when I get home from school. Yay?

I took the day off of work tomorrow so I can sit at the computer mashing F5 on the Traxxas website.
