It’s NOT a Mudboss!!! It’s a MODIFIED! Soo it’s better than a Mudboss?

[@jeremymiller2340]

Absolutely opened up a new class, them mudboss guys are going to regret some of their backlash, I may be wrong, but it's a heck of alot cheaper getting this TRAXXAS MODIFIED, than it is for them bodies you have to put together, then the lcg chassis.,ETC. Getting this car will get ya going quick as quick can be!! Next the mudboss guys will be upset that their class was overtaken by the RTR. I give it a couple years and it will be awesome

[@truerc]

Not wrong. A base slash and just gtr shocks is over $330. Add the transmission for another $100. Add the body, chassis, everything else and this is certainly a much better deal.

[@cd-pu5uv]

They don't care. Lol. They wanted this to be separate from what they do.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Looking last night a base built mudboss car from Raptor is 299. If you upgrade, wraps wheels tranny than goes to 4 to 5 , it’s cool as another class but just shows the truth , what if salvis actually supported his family making these and no longer can , you support that “”

Might wanna do your research about this.. Traxxas messed up.. The guy that created the class/cars approached Traxxas to partner up..They never responded, and instead took the idea and released their own version a year later. The original guys had to get the name Trade marked and gave Traxxas a taste of their own medicine.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Sounds more like it ,

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Salivas I read never trademarked it so technically they can use it but they realized the hippocracy would hurt more than it would help . All that has to happen is the tracks not be willing to run the modified class or add contingencies

[@nate0765]

They filed for a trademark after traxxas released their car, as far as I know it’s still pending and legally there is nothing stopping traxxas from using the Mudboss name. Traxxas seems to have changed the name voluntarily.

[@joshfowler197]

Every local hobby shop that has a dirt track has stated that these will be their own class. The naming issue was a very large community dedicated to the mudboss builds and class. Traxxas took the name and put it on a car that doesn't even fit the class. Thing of one of your most favorite things, then a big corporate company knocks it off and doesn't even do it correctly. Same outrage happens in all aspects of life.

[@shaynejenkins446]

Traxass does not care about the RC community.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Honestly my lhs still has two and I almost bought because whole mudboss “ box “ is it really going to be collected? Than I have no oval tracks ect , I really do like modified and any real race classes “ than whole passion for RC do I really want support TRAXXS “ I’d have a xxmaxx if I did . So I looked at salvis body’s , I have all aluminum’ HCG chassis from 20 years ago . I bought reflex 14 and grom Mojave , that thing is dog stock though .

Don't expect to retire off selling a mudboss box. Might be worth a whole $30 in a couple decades.

[@BlueDually4x4]

The fact Traxxas, the company know world wide as crybabies with lawyers on speed dial actually changed the name is more impressive than any of their releases in the last ten years. Because if it was the other way around, Traxxas would have sued the other company out of business.

[@Z17xMachine]

Not a lot of people know this but, before those kinds of modifieds were built, they had a mud buss chassis. Troyer Chassis. Why Traxxas called it a bleeping Mud Boss is beyond me. Big Block Modifieds back in the 80's that were considered mud buss were a Troyer Chassis. They had Tobias chassis and some others.

[@shaynejenkins446]

The chassis of modifieds were never called mud boss lol. The Troyer chassis is just a basic mod chassis. What's makes them different is the suspension setups.

[@dexter131]

I am a traxxas snob, but traxxas did Salvas dirty.. They spent YEARS trying to work with Traxxas to develop a Mudboss that beginners could buy and race in the Mudboss class. Traxxas never replied, but some years later released a mudboss that couldn't even be run in the Mudboss class. Again, I love Traxxas, but they did Salvas dirty and I hope they get millions from Traxxas. Just a little taste of their own medicine I suppose.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

The name was misleading and people were showing up at tracks with a chassis that they couldn't race. Crying you say?! Track owners didn't want consumers being confused and upset. I mean, Traxxas was using a name from a class with a specific set of rules that this kit did not adhere to. And, the name change is NOT the result of legal action as some have suggested.

[@boduke9428]

You really can't say much about the Mudboss guys "crying" about anything. Not with the way Traxxas will file "lawsuits" against anyone who prints their name on a product that fits a Traxxas or sells a car with an o ring receiver box or cantilever suspension. That guy thought up a racing class and designed a car for it and named it Mudboss. Traxxas built a different car and stole his name. I didn't know the class existed but from what i heard Traxxas should have never borrowed the name to start and would have sued if it'd been reversed. I don't have a horse in the race. I'm really just shocked as many folks are interested in this as are. This is the last type vehicle I'd ever buy. I'd think if Traxxas built a LMT competitor or finally sell a real buggy like the Typhon they'd sell more of them than something like this.
