List price is $500. I wonder how much the timing system will be? Then the docking base for the transmitter… No thanks.

I’m excited. Hopefully the aftermarket will give us some more choices body wise… Probably too much to ask but a Jungle Jim Liberman Vega would be awesome. (Even better if it came with Jungle Pam…)

Looks cool but I don’t get that form of racing. Like the radio though!

I’m very excited to get my hands on this car – not sure why some feel the need to hate on Traxxas for releasing vehicles that are more user friendly for the masses. I’ve been a racer and hobbyist for more than 30 years, and I’ve now settled in to expecting a bit of scale realism in every vehicle I buy – and I’m particularly impressed with Traxxas producing durable, fast, decent handling, and sport-scale in appearance vehicles. I love the feel of a well-tuned and tweaked race rig, most lack the appeal and appearance of the 1:1 cars they’re supposed to represent. I’ve already got plans for the cars and timing system, as we’ve got several RC freaks and 1:1 drag racers amongst my group of friends. Warm evenings, cold beverages, good BBQ, and realistic drag racing in the freshly paved lot behind my house…

I will never buy a drag racer or a on-road RC supercar. I don’t believe RC drag racing will ever be mainstream. It is just too boring. My Slash 4×4 is looking pretty dated compared to the Ten-SCTE and SC10 4×4. Traxxas needs to focus on refining their aging platforms, instead they are releasing halo-cars. C’mon Traxxas, give us something that we actually WANT.
