I think the popularity of this Slash Modified will dictate the classes. If you're a track owner and have 20 drivers want to race in the class, you probably won't ignore them. Other classes will faded, just natural evolution. I'm excited to get more drivers in the game with this. More drivers makes it attractive to sponsors too.

Somewhere around $45-$60 is what we pay in the Northeast. Make sure to ask if they’re using laminator after printing, this will help prevent scratches on the actual printed part. Thanks for watching!

Hey Ben - So the file downloads as a .Zip. Open that up and export the SVG file to your desktop or some other folder. Now use inkscape to open the file. If you were trying to open the SVG file while it was still in a zip file or you tried to open the zip file, you would get that error message.

there is a weight difference between the mud boss and the slash with lcg so if you want box stock then say so in rules the weight difference is close to 3/4 lb salvas style is lighter even if you use the very heavy edm traxxas body

I like your ideas. The BL2 motors have expanded into more mudboss classes and IMO we need to start combining the classes more so we dont have 5 classes with 5 cars in each. With your ruleset and also add the ability to use either lcg or hcg chassis and open up the tires to include All legal tires available to all current classes (so all the tires people already own can still be used). Do we really need a 13.5 class now that we have the BL2? Wasnt the 13.5 class made to be able to run brushless and LCG chassis anyway? With the variations in the rules people can run what they already have and the new traxxas mudboss and allow some much needed upgrades to our older salvas mudbosses too if so desired.

I'm with you, less classes.. more drivers. We all want competitive racing and not participation trophies. I'm hoping race tracks start to adjust and we see a shift in our current hobby. What's fantastic about this car though... Traxxas has finally recognized the racing scene.

I agree with you, stock out of the box. However, I think rules still need to be in place to specify the parts allowed on the car. I'm sure there are people with LCG chassises and other spare parts that will want to run the class. So who cares if they want to run the ultra shocks instead of the GTR shocks, who cares if they want to use the classic transmission instead of the magnum. I think just defining some of these things opens the class up to more people, while still providing that "spec" class this car needs to be in. Thanks for watching!

In my opinion Traxxas should’ve put a late model body on it , short course late model classes are across the whole USA, I own JbodyRC, crate late model bodies are my biggest seller, I’ve sold in 40 states and Canada. Instead of trying to piggy back a “Mudboss “ class they could’ve created their own national class , Traxxas Crate Late Model. Either way this car has to be raced in its own class, it doesn’t fit within the rules of the mudboss classes.
@cage-rattler
@cage-rattler 26 күн бұрын
Unfortunately its to late for traxxas to put a late model body on it and change the name. But IMO these will eventually be turned into alot of other classes just like the original slash was. Late Model included.

Well, it's nice to see that you're not acting so pompous as you were the other day as I saw on part of your live stream event. My thoughts and comments to others were was have you never been to real races? They have many different classes for different abilities and and cost. I have quite a few RC cars but none of them are racing and I thought this might be a good way to get into it without having to spend $1,000 and I already have batteries and a charger and I think none of you are looking at it that way that some people have other type of RCs like Bashers and stuff but this is something that for a low cost you can raise and use the battery and charger that you already have. And I thought you owned a shop, you seemed like you were pretty narrow-minded and unwise in your actions and your words. If I was Traxxas I would have said screw you screw you and took away any of your rights to sell their stuff

there is really no way to fix this, on one side people are saying salvas rules are in stone on the other the new mudboss is a evolved mudboss, thay can be ran together if people would quit all the bickering, we have already ran them with salvis mudboss, the new car has a clear advantages, to fix this both cars need to be eqal that means that salvis rules need changed if there going to be run in the same class, but then agin no one is wanting new classes, very simple, run the cars as if all parts from either car are speck, its not hard to figer out, in my opinion salvas rules do not match up with the new cars and the new cars do not match up with salvas rules, so make all rules and parts speck, then the race has the last say not traxxas or salvas
