I’d be shocked if it doesn’t stick around. They’re just doing a limited first run in case $1500 is just too much to move inventory

[fredstoychest]

I'm glad you mentioned you mentioned there was no limited edition numbering. The only thing limited on this is the box. (Which I know people down the line will pay a premium for.)

[Dropddime]

Absolutely love these ultimate series vehicles from Traxxas. I have the slash, X max and XRT. I’d love to see them do a sledge.

Honestly, I have a few thoughts on this, all of which come to the same conclusion - it's really not worth it. I know there will be people who will disagree with me...but, I have 5 points/options that, once understand, should help convince all but the "diehards" who have to have every Traxxas release.

1) You can purchase the standard RTR, be "wise" in your upgrade decisions (as many have pointed out, Traxxas went (purposely???) 'overboard' in selecting upgrade parts), and sell off the brand-new no-longer-needed parts. In the end, you'll have an RC that's better than their 'Ultimate', and the final cost will be closer to $100-200 more than the standard RTR.

2) You can purchase a roller from an RC chop shop, be "wise" in your upgrade decisions, and end up with the same vehicle mentioned in option #1, but with a final cost that's equal to, or possibly slightly less than, the standard RTR.

3) Taking option #2 one step further, you could sell off the brand-new no-longer-needed parts, and end up with a final cost that's definitely less than the standard RTR.

4) Part of why Traxxas is probably doing this...and, as already pointed out by others...is that Traxxas probably has a large number of unsold 'upgrade' parts in their warehouse, which is probably due to the fact that most 3rd-party upgrade parts cost less than Traxxas' own upgrade parts and/or those 3rd-party parts are of higher quality (such as 7075 vs Traxxas 6061).

5) The final point has to do with something many have suspecting for several months - that Traxxas is going to soon be releasing a new version of the X-MAXX, based on the XRT chassis. This is a good way for Traxxas to 'unload' their excess of X-MAXX vehicles and/or upgrade parts. If you think about it, this, combined with point #4, makes a lot of logical sense.

Wish I could go to the Traxxas store for every new release 😅

[huntersrc]

Yessss!! I have a sledge and xmaxx. Need to sneak an XRT into the house.

[IMGONEIN]

I ordered an XRT ultimate to run on a track, not to bash…. So I’m building an off road track on my back property 👍🏾👍🏾

[justinsmagula]

Traxxas needs to have the ultimate addition with the rpm parts this would be awesome

[alexro]

For this video i would put the light kit on it. I think could look sick with that house and xrt ultimate with light kit on :). Cheers🥳

[shawnclark]

Dude your videos are awesome. Love watching the excitement and knowledge. Keep going man.

[AJXRT]

Would prefer a Tekno E truggy setup on 6s with big tyres over a Traxxas

[craiglamb]

I want those dif covers and steering bellcrank in Orange. The TRX parts on this just looks awesome.

[RBRC]

Hard to choose between the XRT or XMAXX 🤨!

[cmcconn]

I wish they'd upped the motor size like Arrma did on their new 8S trucks. The new EXBs are pretty awesome. I still love the XRT though. I'm guessing you've seen a few Kevin Talbot videos, my point is that the stuff that most readily breaks on X trucks, like the drive shaft bending, doesn't look like it was addressed. Still a nice looking truck.

[gaffle-]

YOU’ve got some beautiful homes in your neighborhood!

[scottestergaard]

My Dream Car! I feel you Mark! Awesome!

[adamtait]

The Limited edition should have came with a special Ultimate body. Much more collectible

[DcYpHao]

Well I was thinking of Buying a Arrma Kraton EXB the 5th Scale but this Machine looks unbelievable! Also my first RC was a Rustler 4x4 with a bunch of upgrades… Traxxas makes this Hobby so much easier….

[robertkenney]

Traxxas got y'all's number with the limited edition 'yadda 'yadda lol... Their marketing team needs a raise

[CliffLaLonde]

Would love to see you put that beast on the Indy RC track. Always great content!
