Dirt racing is popular in parts of the country, not that big around me. But I used to live a couple different places with dirt tracks. I do have to begrudgingly admit the Traxxas and Tamiya business model of seeing how few new parts they can make to sell the same thing at full price for decades seems to work well.

@guest6423 Ай бұрын
It should be interesting to see how these are received by the existing Mudboss racing community, as they are inspired by, but different from the current class specifications. I hope it gets people out for some affordable, competitive racing. I highly support scale racing that resembles local 1:1 race cars, and this is what racin' looks like out here in BFE.

Cool. Lifts the inside front like a real dirt modified does when hooked up. Real ones use replaceable flat aluminum braces for locating the body skin and Traxxas missed that detail but its an easy fix.

Being in the UK, if I hadn't strayed off my few favourite TV channels and found MAVTV, I wouldn't have had a clue at what this car was all about!! Grassroots racing on a dirt oval, with cars with massive V8 engines!! What's not to love. Doesn't really compare to the Reliant Robin Racing here in the UK (I am joking by the way!! 😆 Watching a 3 wheeled fiberglass car, tip over every time it tries to corner can be pretty funny though!!! 😂) Getting a few of your mates together to have some stock racing sounds great, but the prices of Traxxas products in the UK are already high, and getting higher and higher. It's almost to the point where, even with shopping and customs, it would be cheaper to buy from Amain!! Nice unboxing video, and what parts to you need to include in the box for a 69?!!😆 Have a great weekend. 🤘🏻

The 2wd vxl also doesn't come with a low cg chassis, $95 shocks, or a body as valuable, among other things.

The slash 2wd doesn’t have the magnum transmission, aluminum shocks, or LCG chassis. Although I do agree $380 is probably $30-60 too much.
@JFlyer1973 Ай бұрын
There’s a reason the Slash VXL is not used in a lot of the oval classes that Slash chassis are used in. A good oval driver will rip better lap times on a small dirt track bullring oval than a VXL. It’s all in the intended purpose

okay I dig it. I also like that roll cage & driver. I want to customize a Slash to look like a pro 2 truck. Meaning cut out windows, rollcage & single driver. So many lexan interiors have the two driver setup like what you'd see in trophy trucks. But no real setups for pro 2 or pro 4 racing trucks. This interior looks like it'd fit the bill.

It's a take off if IMCA sanctioning body and several others MODIFIED class. On the dirt these modified are a beast. The next step up would be a dirt late model. Apparently you're definitely not familiar with dirt naval or even asphalt oval racing. Modifieds race on asphalt also,but will use slick tires.now I'm curious if they will put a nitro engine in these. Playing in the dirt oval is a blast. Especially with the likes of sprint car racing. And im from near the sprint car capital of the world Knoxville Iowa. When they have the nationals,the population is around 8000,and when they have the nationals there will be 40k people there. It draws racers and fans from all over the states,New Zealand, and Australia and Canada

I didn't know circle track or dirt oval RC racing even existed until seeing these videos. That's how popular it is in my area. Traxxas couldn't have designed a car that interested me less if they tried. Well.... except 3 of the last 4 they've released. Starting with the snap on car, the unbearably slow trx4m "monster truck" and now this. At least the Maxx Slash appealed to me. Until i drove a couple of them but at least i didn't think i hated it at first glance. I was hoping a big LMT competitor or 6s or 8s Bigger Typhon type buggy was next from Traxxas. They're just a company i don't recognize anymore.

This hobby isnt exactly cheap either considering the amount of motors and batteries we burn through. Cause we'll run new motors in water too break them in and also run our batteries warm so we can get the most out of our stock setups.

Dirt oval is hanging on by the skin of its teeth down under. That class is not popular from what I see watching rigs getting towed to Saturday night events.

You are 100% correct about the sticker sheets in new rtr as sold by certain manufacturers.

Not sure what mudboss class this will fit in, around here mudboss is high cg chassis and a different body, more like a big block modified would have. So may confuse some people. So defintely would be best to make these their own stock spec class.
