I'm very happy to hear it comes with a brushless system. Love my Groms but upgrading was sort of a pain in the butt (and still is for various reasons) and I'd way rather pay more upfront to not have to take it apart and shove all sorts of electronics inside of it and jerry rig everything to fit correctly.

[@DoRC]

Yeah me too and if this thing has the same power as the BL2S systems in the 110 scale cars it should be pretty stout.

[@RileyBanksWho]

To measure is to know, my friend! I get huge savings on these types of models by just buying rollers and fitting my own combos. I just bought a Slash 4x4 Ultimate for $75 the other day (with all upgraded parts). Slapped a nice 4S combo on it, and now it's literally faster, torquier, and more reliable than a new one straight out of the box. Total price: $150 for a monster Slash.

[@boduke9428]

The Furitek drop in Grom combo solves that. Everything you need for a fire breathing, 3s capable Grom for $99. Waiting on my first one to be delivered now.

[@JoshuaCrane-r3n]

The battery you shown was a 3s, 11.1 voltage. However the bl-2s system will not take anything over the 2s battery. Just so you other viewers who might just be getting started in the hobby. Not to be mistaken.

[@JacobScherer]

I really hope they fix the BL-2S system. If the sensorless system ever thinks it is spinning backwards, even for a split second, it has a time out on letting you drive again. It is especially noticable if you use brake to correct while in the air and land with stopped wheels. A lot of guys in Spec Slash racing went back to the XL5.

[@DoRC]

Interesting. I haven't had one yet so haven't experienced that.

[@plattenkurt]

Yes, the same thing is super annoying for me. Takes away the fun of driving my BL-2S slash. It won't come go from reverse to forward driving without this little time out. Might be that my particular model is faulty.

[@JacobScherer]

@@plattenkurt I don't think it is just your's. We've had at least a half dozen Slashes in our racing series with BL-2S systems and they all do it.

[@JacobScherer]

@@DoRC happens when bashing too, unfortunately :( Spinning out and rolling backwards, landing with stopped wheels, anything that the system detects as backwards motor rotation will lead to having to wait for the reverse to forwards lockout time.

@@ChrisCroft77 I'm down under and have the same issue, Double mark up, so I sold all my Traxxas stuff a year ago.

Now they say "Traxxas products cannot ship to your country" ,when you try purchase your cart. AMain confirmed for me in an email exchange. Just Traxxas trying to be greedy and force us to pay the marked up prices locally. So now they get no money from me at all and I spend thousands a year as my whole family do rc. I buy lots of Losi and Team Ae and only just got my first Arrma mojaves last week for my boys and they love them. Few mates into rc dont buy Traxxas stuff now either.

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

You must first look at the Redcat Valkyrie. I'm telling you, it is better than the full size Maxx, which I own btw. You are selling yourself short if you don't. The Valkyrie is a 4s truck about the same size as the Maxx. Right out of the box it is capable of between 60 and 65 mph. All for $300. The V2 Maxx costs $570 and does not handle as good as the Valkyrie and out of the box is about 50 mph top speed. Both are built equally sturdy but the Valkyrie offers a Hobbywing Max 10 esc and a 7.4 volt BEC to the Maxx's 6 Volt BEC. This new, smaller Maxx is going to cost about the same as this 4s Valkyrie but will likely be about 30+ miles per hour slower. Comparing the BL 2s system with a Hobbywing Max 10 is laughable. The throttle control advantage with the Valkrie will be significantly smoother at all speeds. Traxxas vechiles, with the exception of the Maxx, Xmaxx and xrt surge and cog like there is no tomorrow. Traxxas is very good at marketing, but they lag the competition in most areas despite charging a ton more for much less.

[@Maxinator_RC]

@@XWXW-lk4jf Oh, thank you for the advice! But honestly, i am a massive fan of how traxxas maxx looks. I would really like to have a mini version of traxxas maxx Thats why I am so excited :)

[@DoRC]

Sounds awesome! Did they have a price?

[@RYNOCIRATOR_V5]

It will probably be even stronger because it comparatively weighs nothing

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

Best first have a look at the Redcat Valkyrie and this comes from someone that already owns the V2 Maxx and new Xmaxx and who likes both of them. If you are just trying to own all three, just to have them , I guess I understand but if performance is your criteria along with durability, with a lower price tag, then there is no comparison. In fact, there is no comparison at double the $300 price tag but to each their own.

[@RYNOCIRATOR_V5]

@@XWXW-lk4jf I will forever be worried about parts availability for anything that's not Traxxas or Arrma, I have to take what I can get in the UK. Full disclosure though: I honestly don't have any interest in Mini Maxx even though it is very cool; I already have an XRT :P

@RYNOCIRATOR_V5 Yeah parts availability is always a concern with other brands.

[@user-kh7sk2rk8c]

Cant wait! I am new to the sport / Hobby and already have a collection of around a dozen including the max have been looking for something smaller that won't get hung up in grass that I can run on my lawn and out into the road and the nearby parking lot and it'll hopefully take a little bit of bashing and even more hopefully will stay on its Wheels when not actively jumping definitely getting my exercise chasing around some of the smaller lighter ones my lawn is rutted and bumpy and it keeps flipping the vehicles.

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

Being smaller, this is gonna get much more hung up in the grass. I've been critical of the Maxx but being capable of handling offroad is not one of its short comings. It should be able to cut the grass, no matter what length. Not get caught up in it. I actually use mine in place of a lawn mower, it does thar good of a job.

[@DoRC]

This probably will be perfect for that. Smaller cars always struggle in tall grass but this is going to be a little bit bigger than the Groms so it should do better than they will.

[@VS666]

The larger scale and more than likely larger price point won’t make this a Grom competitor. They may be looking to capture some of that market, but if this is more than $70 than a Grom that’s a tough sell. The great thing about this scale is it’s fairly easy to make a fun durable truck but I also expect a lot of cost cutting from Traxxas. I can already assume the servo will be absolutely junk and even though it’s brushless it probably won’t be much faster than the Grom lineup. Maybe it’ll be the same servo as the XMAXX in that case, adequate for a 12 scale but junk for a large scale 😂 Let’s do a Bingo for this truck, I’ve got my bets on junk servo, poor quality plastic gears, and failing electronics

[@DoRC]

I agree with the servo but we'll have to see you on the electronics. I really do hope it has steel gears. As far as competition I think that's a tough one. It almost certainly won't be direct competition price wise but there are a lot of people that think the Grom is simply too small and underpowered. For those people this could be exactly what they're looking for.

[@urgaynknowit]

Other than the battery tray, with the brushless system, and a price of around 200-250$, this may be a decent contender for the “grom” sized lineup from each brand . All we need is a losi from and a team associated one 🤟🏼😇

[@DoRC]

Well losi has the mini LMT and we already have several team associated minis.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

For anyone thinking this would compete with a Grom, don’t think that. Groms are small and brushed with 2-in-1 ESC/receiver electronics. This Mini Maxx is upmarket. Grom is 1/18 and this is what, 1/12? 1/14 maybe? Not even in the same size class, and this Mini Maxx also has proper standalone components. No 2-in-1 nonsense here. I’m saying this as a guy who loves Arrma and is a big critic of Traxxas. Credit where credit is due, this truck looks promising, and you can’t expect this to be less than 200. It should be priced like a brushless Associated Reflex. Not a Grom.

[@DoRC]

Whereas I don't think this is going to compete directly on price I think it will attract a lot of people who were either disappointed with the Grom or didn't end up buying the Grom because of how small it was. I feel like it'll be direct competition for those reasons.

[@gone.fishin9039]

If its not 200$ or under it wont be competitive with the grom. Considering it has the bl2s its probably gonna cost 250-300 like their 1/16 revo

Not sure. It really depends on where the new car ends up price wise. They might use this new platform to replace the latrax cars and the 116th scale cars either one or neither. Just depends

[@AMM0394]

If that’s the same size bl 2s system they put in the 1/10 scale stuff that thing should go pretty well

[@DoRC]

It appears to be the same so I think it's going to be fairly stout.

[@magnusstone]

It’s brushless, if it’s got crap diffs like the grom I’d say $199 but if the diffs and driveshafts are closer to the grom upgrade ones I’m guessing $239

Given that Traxxas really likes plastic drive shafts I'm guessing they're going to be plastic but my guess is that the differentials are going to be steel.

And who would buy this over a Valkyrie then? Except those who either don't know about it or are diehard Traxxas fans. I own both the Maxx and the Valkyrie MT. The Valkyrie MT rubs circles around the Maxx and I do like the Maxx, dont get me wrong. The Valkyrie is a smaller version of the 6s Big in how it handles. It is the best release of the year in my opinion. If this is priced anywhere within $100 of that, and people buy it, instead of the Valkyrie, that would be a terrible decision. Unless, the Valkyrie is too much to handle. I could see that being the case but then it should be priced in the $100 to $150 range. If Redcat can put out a truck that competes with $800 vechiles, for $300, then this should honestly be no more than $50. That is literally the argument here. I won't claim the Valkyrie is on the same level as Big Rock 6s but it is better than anything Traxxas offers. Traxxas vechiles need better handling. Plain and simple. They all handle like bricks on wheels. Why aren't they upgrading the Maxx instead of coming out with this little shit? The Maxx is due for an update although I suspect the Maxx Slash was that update which is unfortunate because that is actually inferior to the Maxx not superior. In order to not lose sales to Redcat, they best think about how they can improve the Maxx. Perhaps by start by addressing the handling. Perhaps also the insatiable appetite it has for eating its own drive drive shafts would help as well. The plastic has a nasty habit of degrading within the first year which leads to the bearings becoming compromised and needing to be replaced. A pretty hefty job that I did not expect and one that has negatively affected my opinion on the Maxx's supposed durability.

Yeah I kind of feel the same way. I suspect we're not going to be happy about the price but if it's sized the way I think it's going to be I get the feeling it's going to be attractive to a lot of people

[@lyricofwise6894]

Am looking forward to this one

[@DoRC]

Me too!

[@alistairbrammer841]

Don't forget that Traxxas already had the 1/16 th E Revo and Summit brushed and brushless

[@DoRC]

Yeah whether this will be the replacement for those or for the latrax I guess just depends on the price and size. They might end up replacing both lines with this new model.

[@davidclymer2207]

@@DoRC I've always loved the 1/16 E Revo VXL, but I'm guessing this new line will probably replace it and the other 1/16 models. Those are actually 15 year old designs at this point.

I’m calling it right now it’s gunna cost like $300 so u can get the almost 2 groms for that

I'm going to guess more like 250.

[@bfam8056]

Can't wait

[@DoRC]

Same!

[@johnellefa]

Traxxas now having a new mini means one thing. The "cheap Chinese rc" market is just gonna drop new stuff, probably better than current at a slightly lower price abd I'm for it

[@DoRC]

Competition is always good!

[@brothertax]

$200 RTR with battery and charger is my guess.

[@DoRC]

That would be nice. Some people are guessing more though.

That makes the car like $100. For a complete kit will probably be $3-400

@@Hittin2thabass The Slash 2WD is RTR @ $240. So maybe closer to that price?

[@boduke9428]

Lol. Have you ever met a Traxxas? $299 is my lowest guess. $349 wouldn't surprise me.

[@jeffburns9112]

Wouldn’t that just make it a Stampede Bl2S?

[@DoRC]

No this is going to be quite a bit smaller and not on the 3S platform

[@jeffburns9112]

@@DoRC so maybe 5 inches smaller in length and a BL2s, as I stated above, a cheaper better looking stampede.

Also at the Vegas show I saw a Team corrally kagama 4s

Sweet!

[@RadarLightwave]

It might be replacing the 1/16th E-Revo?¿ I'd actually like to see a side by side comparison between the Mojave Grom and the 1/16th slash, in which itself is on the mini E-Revo platform. More of a mini electric slayer 3.3 than anything Slash related, but I digress.

[@DoRC]

I think it just depends on how much it ends up costing. I think all these little cars are in competition with each other but they might replace the latrax cars the 116th cars or neither. Who knows

[@trullmann]

Three fiddy... 😅

[@DoRC]

I certainly hope not.

I think that might be a bit optimistic :-)

[@jaceSHO]

@DoRC yeah. 349 I just seen

[@phookit2]

It’ll be £350 in the UK. We always pay higher than the dollar amount

[@DoRC]

Unfortunately you're probably right.

[@bbeckers24]

Based on what you are saying, this could be the grom killer, but I am sure they will price themselves right out of that idea. I would guess they will price it around $275. And I bet that BL2s won't be any faster than the brushed grom.

[@DoRC]

I think the price will be closer to 250 but personally I think all small RCs are in competition with each other. Of course there are always going to be people that buy for very specific reasons such as price alone but there is a huge chunk of people who would never buy a Grom simply because it's too small and not brushless. This solves both those problems.

[@bbeckers24]

@@DoRC I think $250 is still too steep. There is too much available in the 10 scale in this price range. Quantum 2 is on sale for $250. New redcat 4s is $300. I think its going to be a good truck but I think these smaller trucks need to be $200 or less to consider.

[@DoRC]

@@bbeckers24 Well yes if you compare it to similarly priced options in the 1/10 scale range it probably will never seem like a good deal but these smaller cars have a feel to a lot of people simply because of their size. There are places you can run these that you never get away with bashing something larger even a 1/10 scale. It definitely won't be for everyone though

[@bbeckers24]

@@DoRC well, you were right at $250, but I think it's still too high for the smaller scale.

[@DoRC]

:)

[@Titanzilla76]

I can definitely see this in the 300 dollar range.

[@DoRC]

Hopefully a little bit last. I think the closer they get to 300 the more they'll be competing with their own 1/10 scale stampede which they probably want to avoid. We'll see though. Thanks for watching :-)

[@MrtipRC]

As long as its $250 and under , ill grab one 😊

[@DoRC]

I hope it's less than 250

[@sealboy8347]

Price guessing? I'm guessing without batteries (be honest, they'd do it) $219, or with batteries $249

[@DoRC]

I think that's fairly close. I really do hope they give us a no battery option.

[@sealboy8347]

@DoRC after all, who wants to pay for your proprietary bull when better batteries are a 3rd of the cost? I'm willing to be traxxas would make more money off of batteries then they do now if they would price them fairly

[@1923arjo]

So it’s a new 1/16th scale like the summit or erevo.

It depends on how you look at the scale but it will probably be similar in size to those vehicles yes maybe a little bit bigger

[@topqualityfi8216]

Raaelo omni is under 200,and im pretty sure its going to dominate this

[@DoRC]

Maybe though there are a lot of things to consider. This will definitely have better aftermarket support and better parts support. It will probably be a bit smaller though.

$250 - $300 due to the fact of the losi mini lmt is $300
