Cool its an updated 4TEC brushless ready :lol It does 50mph out of the box, same as the old one, and 100 if you buy awesome lipos. So did Traxxas buy Castle Creations? ---

I used to do all nitro but electric has gotten so much better in the years Ive been out of it . This is a niche car. Scale is wacked (1:7), unless someone start racing them in some semi organized series, this will forever remain a “toy”. If you are into 4wd electric (I am guess off-road), look into 1:10 SC trucks. It took off like wild fire and I believe every manufacturer have a 4wd SC truck except, TTBOMK, Associated. ---

I do like the chassis design, with the duct right to the motor, maybe they will carry that over to tenth scale. Traxxas is still the “toy” of the hobby grade rcs, I think anyways. 1/10 or 1/18 scale is where its at. And Associated does make a 4x4 SC10, only one I would consider.
