    Traxxas has entered the brushless world!!

    The Rustler and Stampede now can come with a brushless setup. I wonder when we will see this put in one of their boats.

    That would be interesting to see, I can only imagine that having more rtr brushless boats available would be good for the hobby!

        I tried talking to the guys at Traxxas before. The guy I spoke to was a real jerk. I asked what they were going to do to combat the sv. He said nothing and if we were doing anything we wouldn't tell you anyways.
        The ex is good for what it does. But at the current price its just not worth buying.
        Kyosho lowered prices for a while if I bought in bulk, than they stopped.
        I don't see anyone but aquacraft doing anything for a while.

          That was the attitude I got from Traxxas when I asked them about the percent of oil in their fuels. They refused to even give me a percent value and acted very arrogant.

            I see their own knock-off on the deans connector.

            Getting pretty pricey for a 1/10 truck.......$339 on tower for the pede. I wonder how the plastic tranny gears and the plastic drive shafts will hold up?

                  Hey doozie:D


                  yeah that would be good to see, but i would hate to see how much they cost, the villian costs more than sv now, proboats hulls are cheap quality IMO, so they would probably charge an arm and a leg for their products.

                    I really wasnt looking at it as a head to head with the SV, more so for all the extra parts that would be available :D imagine all the struts, rudders, power packages ect, that would hopefully be really affordable like the sv's stuff is.
