@@rmarkley79 yeah I think the bls 2 system is taking the place of Traxxas brushed kits, so with that being said those kits sometimes come out first and the vxl versions later for some reason, Arrma did the same thing with their mini line, they released brushed versions first and then later on the brushless versions, that’s why I waited on those, we’ll see what happens in the case of the mini Maxx🤙

I've got the itch for EXACTLY this car. You mention the transmittor not being pistol grip. I've got an 8 channel I use on all my cars, I'm going to see if I can work with it, but the layout of the included transmittor does seem to be optimized for the hydraulics. I've got enough buttons, but it'll be a pain in the ass assigning them all, learning them, and remebering them, plus I'm thinking having those switches probably adds to the fun, so I'm gonna end up agreeing with you, this radio is gonna be the way to go in the end. I'm going to be paying $379 for it. Check this out, I go to the Redcat website, and screw up, clicking on the sale tab. DAMMIT! So, this IS NOT on sale, but know what is? The RDS is $239!!! Normally $399. That's their really well regarded rwd drifter... Also, for $20 more than the Monte Carlo, I can get the SIX cell 1:6 scale Machete! REALLY? So a HUGE 6th scale 60/70mph 6s basher BEAST, for basically the same money, OR, a 1:10 scale drift car, that's good enough to get from just starting, up to competing, for the same price, if I save my savings for the new servo, which is all that drifters say you'll wanna change out within a year or so of starting out. This sucks lol, can only do 1. This thing is so sick for sure, but unless i'm going to go the pimp my ride route with it, it's more of a solo toy, whereas bsshing and drifting can be a group thing, better that way in fact. ... you don't give a crap about all that lol, sorry bud. Yes, which several hundred dollar pointless man toy do I blow my money on.. 1st world problems if ever there was such a thing, am I right? we roughin it out here lmao

Over 10yrs ago my dad got me the Stampede 2wd. We had rc cars back in the 1980s. IMO stampede sucks so I modified it as much as I could to the point it didn't have any stock parts on it. Even the FLM 1/8TH scale chassis didn't make it better so I just transferred everything over to the FLM rustler chassis. So anyway the point of that was, I was looking at bodies for the rustler. All the bodies I wanted were for the 4tec.20. So now I really want this car. It looks reall cool and fast like my mini revo.
