Has anyone seen these things? I saw the add on the Traxxas site but didn't bother looking at it since it was Ky-Douche. Went to the track tonight to race and they had the brushed version out of the box to look at and I have to say, it looks awesome! It's another re-hash Revo but this thing is down right wicked. Took till the end of the racing night to pull the trigger on getting the only one they had. For only $212 for the brushed version, it's not that bad of a deal and it's a little beast on the track. If you get one, you'll wanna wear the stock tires so that they grip carpet(if that's where you'll be racing this, because it's where I will be.) Was oval night so I took it out and if I stayed in the grove from tire dope, it ran very nice. Had a 1600mah lipo in it since the included battery would of taken time to charge and was already done with my mini late model street stockers.

Even if you dislike Busch, don't turn away from thinking about picking this up because it is a blast of a little truck! The brushed version comes with the 540 can MOTOR! Yes, it's the same motor that comes stock in a SLASH! It's 4 wheel drive and it drives like a none other. I'm hoping Traxxas releases some other bodies and blank ones so I can get going on some custom ones!

I ordered one from Tower a couple weeks ago. I haven't run it yet, but it looks like fun. I'm sure the Tundra shell will come out clear soon. I don't know about any other bodies though.

Even if they keep the same shell, i wouldn't mind getting some different decals so i can run say a chevy, ford or dodge.

The Velineon 380 brushless is plenty quick even in stock form. This is really my first on road vehicle ever, but it handles pretty well does awesome donuts.

put some mini slash wheel/tires on it and use it as a rally version, the stock tires are more a drift tire and have little traction

Yeah I noticed that a few days ago, looks pretty cool. I'm surprised it took this long to come out with some good nascar stuff...why 1/16th scale though? I'd want a 1/10.

It actually measures out just short of a 1/10 sedan or pan car. But I agree, they should have taken the rustler, stretched and narrowed it and made a 1/10 2wd parking lot beast that wouldn't need smooth surfaces. Heck, they could even have narrowed and lowered a slash and made a nascar body for it.

It also does come with a 380 Brushless motor if that's the version you get but the brushed version is all the place had since they didn't know if they would like it. Everyone that was there before they left LOVED the way it ran. I think this would be a nice class to get started somewhere since this isn't a high priced rc.

Does anyone know how big that stock NiMH that comes with the 16th scales are? I can't seem to find a damn thing about how big they are.
