    I have always wanted Traxxas to build another vechile using the MAXX platform. It has been my best vechile. Unreal durability and a very smooth and powerful system. This is something that will need to get purchased when it comes out. Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually also start offering a 6s Raptor R as well although for now, this Slash Maxx does the trick.

    You mentioned that Traxxas' current 3S batteries won't fit in the Maxx battery tray. They actually fit great if you put two of them side by side instead of stacked. Also, this Maxx Slash appears to have a Sledge-style battery tray rather than a Maxx battery tray. The tops are different.

    I look forward to your video. But not very excited about the slash itself. I feel they should have made a specific chassis for this 6s slash.
    My Maxx is about 14” wb and for them to get this to 16” like a UDR, those bulkheads are gonna be stretched. Might result in more breakage imo.
    Also, the esc, they really should focus on making better electronics. Most of my Traxxas RCs needed a new esc and motor. They seem to under power by 1 scale. Like their 10th scale really needs an 8th scale per plant, 6th needs a 5th scale, etc.
    But your vids are always fun!
    Might get a Mojave just to spite Traxxas 😂😂😂

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC  3 місяці тому +3

      Yeah I don't disagree with anything you're saying here though I do believe that they'll have less issue with things like bulkhead breakages just because short course trucks are inherently more durable due to the fact that the tires are smaller and the body covers everything.

  • @mikescallon4288

    I just hope it is not overgeared. The Maxx provides a nice smooth power delivery throughout the Spectrum. The Sledge and 3s Slash on the other hand, are surge happy machines with zero smoothness. I found the 4s Mojave to be the same. For many, they may like that if all they want to do is drive at top speed constantly. However that causes overheating and rapid battery consumption. Many of these non-sensored stock brushless systems have gotten much smoother in recent years. Traxxas 4s system as well as the 6 and 8s Spektrum systems. Hpi also offers a great driving system on the WR8. The 6s Velenium system in the Sledge is for me, miserable to drive hence why I got rid of it. I am hoping this new iteration is better in this vechile but we will see. I guess you could drop it to a 4s but using 4s on a 6s system usually comes at a signifant power cost. I almost wish they just used their 4s system but we will see.

That's why I say Traxxas missed out on a great opportunity to fill a rare gap in the market and instead stuffed another into a space that's filled near perfectly. This is still better than that silly Snap on car recently tho. Check that price again and legit say Traxxas will sell this for less than $700. I'm thinking closer to $849 - $899.
