My guess is that it's 4WD and has tires. :D

That's a good point!

It could be a mini.....like a Revo or maxx to battle the MINI LST2 & RC18MT.......

Could be the E-Revo, or a new E-Maxx ....both probably with brushless power "under the hood".

That would be a serious letdown IMO. All the hype and people speculating on the Traxxas boards just to find out it's a new boat. Ack!

Ere leave off the boats, some of us have fun with them too. The nitro V and villain wern't great when they came out 15 years ago, they have been in need of a revamp for a very long time.

Its sad that these are some of the few boats you can find in most model shops, I guess lots of folks have been put off by poor first RTR boats, If they get the revamp right it would be very good for the long term future of model boating as a hobby.

The 2 hobbies aren't that different, for example the two in this pic share the same Motor, Battery, Ubec and RX.
