Traxxas "NEXT" is....

[BrianG]

I know, but since we are hoping for a BL Revo, why not wish for the gold. While we're dreaming, we should wish for the MMM since THAT dream is about as far-fetched as it gets....

[jhautz]

The MMM dream is actually becoming more of a nightmare.


Back to the real topic though. I am really hoping its something cool. A boat would SOOOOO disapointing. I never understood why they havent come out with a stock big block version of the revo. Seems natural. All of the other MT makers are already there.

But being that this is an electric forum, I would also be very disapointed with a repolished Emaxx.

Nothing short of an E-Revo will do anymore. You guys have built it up in my head now.

Has anyone notice that those are Jato colors?

My first thought as well. Also makes perfect sense since the Velineon could power it, and it would be an easy conversion/re-engineer.

Well in school tomorrow I think I will go check and see what it is lol

Yeah, but then the e-Jato would compete directly against the Rustler both being 2wd and all. If it's a vehicle, I'd say a 4WD truck of some kind, maybe a smaller size than an Emaxx.

They still offer the Nitro Rustler, even though it's 2wd.

They appeal to different sgments of the market. The Jato (whether E or gas) can be the step-up vehicle from the Rustler (whether E or gas) while keeping them in the Traxxas family.

I don't see how its Jato colors. All the Traxxas bodies are pretty much the same basic design and same colors available, if I'm not mistaken.

The Traxxas website pics of Jatos are always silver black and blue. Just look at the first web page where it displays the "brutally fast" Jato. It is the same colors.

Well, as for Traxxas teaming up with Castle on the MMM, I doubt it just cause I doubt it.

However, it is not COMPLETELY impossible since apparently Traxxas no longer has a contract with Novak, as the EVX is now the EVX-2, made by Traxxas and not Novak.

If the new product is really a Brushless Revo (or an electric Revo) I will be very impressed, and will consider buying one. I need to get my T-Maxx and 18T sold first though, as I have too many trucks.

Personally, I think the water has something to do with a vehicle that can withstand being run in a wet environment. Since this would be rather difficult for a Nitro vehicle (hard to keep engine temps consistent, hard to keep the motor from sucking in too much water, hard to get brakes working consistently when damp, etc) I'd say its electric. I say this from personal experience because when I drove my Revo 2.5R through some wet grass, my brakes were HORRIBLE until it heated up enough to evaporate all the water.

New pre-painted bodies???

Last prediction:

BL Revo, dual channel VXL deriviative ESC, BEC off one channel, possibily dual motor (tho I hope not). Advertized speeds of 45-50mph (on 2x3S lipo), but more expensive than a 3.3.

Some cool new parts, but Revo conversions will still be better.

:D

WOW - I hit the money on that prediction!!!

Hmm, I REALLY REALLY want one lol! The MGM's are waterproof too...hehehe...

I wonder if I can drive this thing completely submerged, cause that would be AWESOME.

Now I got negative figures on the countdown :-( Buhhuu
