For the small price difference, getting a brushless setup with tougher parts is pretty awesome. Great vid as always, thanks!

The thousand pallets of TraxxasTitan 550 burned down. Yeyyyy ! 😊 ( can they sue me because of comment. ) In a World of brushless its about time, now give us some solid colors and not what looks like kids on acid hand paintings.

These cars with the lower speed compared the vxl + the extra top durability features from the vxl are going to transform these into completely unbreakable rcs.

What flew off when you pulled the body off?

[jamesblankenship]

Will these cars be faster with the NiMH battery since the voltage is higher than the 2s battery?

Me dê um de presente....kkkk

This is a really impressive lineup update.

If you're new to rc cars juat get the 2wd slash and save a hundred bucks! If you're buying a 4wd brushless system you are probably not a noob! Why would you spend 329 for this pos when you can buy a pro4 sc10 for 10 dollars more amd run 3s? This is a sales Gimmick thats all. A 2s only brushless system doesnt have a place anymore. I think my sc10 came with a 2s only system in 2009 when it first released 😂 2s would make more simce for a 2wd car vs a 4wd car due to all the extra rotating mass! The 2wd will be faster seen it done with a 2wd vs 4wd rustler. Same motor/esc same battery. If anyone does buy this they are a noob and got screwed 😂😂😂

They have 4x4 Short coarse truck racing where I live and I was looking to get into it but they’re expensive and this just came out at the perfect time. Sure it won’t be the fastes but it will get me in the main class and I can upgrade later

[seansouth]

No thanks, my son's stock brushed rustler and stampede are faster than those on regular batteries not even lipos. He likes his arrma car's way more than his traxxas ones anyways.

[zaxpage]

I was afraid those new smaller motors would be sluggish. They took the excitement right out of it. In fact I imagine the brushed version would be a closer comparison. Let's just hope it's cheaper.

[jalee]

Yeah Traxxas customer service wants you to ship them the car for any issues. They won't just send a replacement part.

[davidd]

I bought the slash version its a nice truck still havnt got a chance to run it if its not fast enough im just going to throw a vxl 3s in it and use the 2s in my rustler 2wd

[Paul-wztm]

And no more Nimh batt, and funky charger.

[daylightdies]

2s and they didn't bother changing out the prop shaft for a metal one with all that they did that to me is a bit stupid

[nemesis]

What the...Really? Are you recommending to those who are going to get started in this hobby to begin with a Traxxas? They are an absolute disaster, a lie and you know it as well as I, who have been in this hobby for 35 years now! Bad electronics (very bad), expensive, very old designs, their entire business model revolves around spare parts, false advertising, they always try to take other companies to court for patents that they have not even created and their customer service does not know what the hell are they talking about... Tamiya, Kyosho, Associated, Arrma, Losi, FTX, HPI, Yokomo, Maverick, Rlaarlo, HNR, even WLToys are much better brands to get started (and keep going) in this hobby WITHOUT LIES AND BS.

[mikecollins]

Nice 👍where's the new stampede version?

[rozwellington]

What app are you using for speed tests?

[RC_guy]

My only gripe, they kept the center driveshaft plastic like the brushed version.

And yeah same speed as a brushed motor.
