File this one firmly under the Rumor Mill. A friend of Big Squid RC, who happens to be in the know, just dropped by the IHobby booth and gave us this tidbit about the next Traxxas release. It could hit in the next few weeks, Traxxas is already taking dealer orders for it, and dealers are being told it will have a quite a bit higher price point than the Revo. We all know what kind of vehicles cost in the $1000 range (*cough*1/5 scale*cough*), so could this Traxxas be one of those vehicles? We don’t know yet. It’s also possible that it’s a 1/8 scale brushless buggy, those are typically around $800. Or it’s something completely new and different.

Dangit! I don’t have room or money for something bigger than a 1/10!
$1000? I bet it comes in a awesome box!!!
Don’t throw it away!
Traxxas has appointed the “Something New” as item #6407 with an estimated MSRP of $930.00 We can conclude the a 5th scale is out of the question!
I heard these comment DIRECTLY from a Traxxas head honcho “We will be turning the industry on it’s ear!” “We plan to raise the ‘bar’ by at least 6 feet and give those who copy us something to think about!”
I am very excited to see something NEW and INNOVATIVE!! Perhaps with a lipo and good charger?
We all have to remember something… Traxxas does not copy others! Therefore a buggy, variations of Grave Digger and a 5th scale would not be NEW & INNOVATIVE. Did Traxxas copy others with the Slash 2wd or Slash 4×4.. NOPE!
Never forget that when Traxxas makes a “toy” for us, nobody else will have made it first!
maybe its a 1/5th scale brushless race atv/quad. that might make me buy a traxxas. but prob not.
There are so many clues, “6ft” Its got to be a Full scale go cart..LMAO
