[@sdy0108]

I absolutely love the truck! I definitely want one but $500 is way to expensive for what it is, I was expecting in the $350-450 range

[@juanpablosaenz852]

Agreed. I thought they’d match the losi 22S price of $400

[@jessewilliams2990]

The price will probably drop to 449 or less in a while

[@CheeZyNutZ]

Should be $300-$350. I think $350 is the perfect price for it. At the end of the day it's just a glorified 2wd slash with a different tranny, wheels and some small electronic features.

Clipless is heavy. Drag cars need to be light.

It would require totally new moulding to fit and could only be used with the C10 body. Just not practical.

Yup, when they said Innovation, I actually hoped they'd deliver. That said, bravo to Traxxas for the 25 years too late improvements to the transmission (sealed and real geared diff and metal motor plate). Those will be very much welcomed, I need that transmission for my stampede

[@nate0765]

The trans brake feature is pretty cool. What else is there to change? Independent suspension, oil filled shocks, brushless, and it has a proper sealed diff now. Even if they made a new chassis using all new parts it wouldn’t be fundamentally different and it would still look the same with the body on.

@@nate0765 The "new" Trans brake was in the old funny car. So it not that new.

[@nate0765]

@@anythingcars1389 it’s not the same, the funny car you had 2 switches and a dial to tune it, you had to get used to the whole sequence to use it properly. This one is one button and you control the power with your trigger finger.

Yes but no different than AE or Losi! It's a proven design (why mess with it?) but they did update the gearbox with a proper sealed diff. The only thing laughable is the price!

[@EconomyElk]

For 500 I might as well go for the team associated dr 10. Not only is it cheaper it’s a much better drag car anyways. Plus that gives me a lot of money left over to improve it even more and make it even quicker.

[@kennethmiller6626]

I love Traxxas, but for $500, I'd rather just build one myself. Outside of the trans brake, they just took what everyone was already doing with their slash for drag racing and slapped fancy tires and a (slightly) upgraded trans in it. May as well just buy a VXL slash, throw bandit arms on it, swap in an LCG kit, tweak the trans and gearing and throw some drag tires on it. It's cool, don't get me wrong, but Traxxas has always been geared toward entry level models that can be modified into literally whatever you can dream up. I think they could've done better, or at least priced it a bit better.

Im thinking depending on the surface it could give you a slight edge and keep the tires from breaking, say a 75% throttle setting, repeating time and time again, with the ability to give it more if needed. In the video they set it at 100%- doesn't make since, I agree with you it serves no purpose like that and is a waste.
