Slayer!!!!!

Post by crazydave »

No not the band, as much as I love them. I'm speaking of Traxxas' new nitro CORR truck based off the Revo. This just may be a car I have to sell my other cars for! :shock:

Check out the picture of the two racing side by side, how cool is that?

They do look cool, but at $825 I think I'll wait until they come out with a new version and clear these out.

These are almost ready to ship and will be no where near that price SW. They'll be in the $450 range, but you can pick up my Revo 2.5R and just buy the arms and bumpers and what not to do the conversion.

They say the tranny gears are different from the Revo to make up for the smaller wheels/tires, but we'll see what's up when it's really out.

They do look sweet, but I'm in the market for a dNaNo..... :-)

Street price won't be that much.

I like the 4wd/race/realism/look. :-o

Or you can get the 2wd Slash. It's out and only $199, but it's electric.
Lots are ready to convert the Slayer into a 4wd pro 4 electric corr truck.

Hmmmm..... now I get it. :???:

The next release will be the E-Slayer.

They have the Slash, the Revo, the E-Revo and now they have the Slayer.
It's only logical they will fill that niche too.

Oddly enough, the Slash and the Slayer don't have that much in common. Other than they're both based off of CORR trucks, the rest is pretty different.

Slayer is based off of the Revo and the Slash is based off teh Stampede/rusty.

That's what has my interest. The Slash looks cool, but the ol' Rustler is getting a bit outdated for my taste, and I was always bothered by the rubbery shock towers, and plastic motor mount, but take the realistic approach and put it on the more race worthy Revo chassis, and you got me interested. Besides, I've recently picked an addiction to nitro. Why am I always broke when the "must have" RCs come out? I need to learn to save my money. :lol:




Man payaso, if I was to get one of these, I'd run your dNano over. :razz:

Exactly my point. People whined and complained and modded the Revo to the electric conversion..... eventually TRX released the E-Revo. Now, granted- it has a lot of differences from the nitro Revo. I have seen people whining about the fact that they want an electric 1/10 4wd race truck.

I am just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if I saw TRX release electric 4WD RC using the same CORR lexan body.

Oh yeah, the T-Maxx, I guess it would have an edge. OK, fine, I wont run over your dNano, but a guy can dream can't he? :lol:

It wouldn't be a bad idea. :???:

Personally, I'm little turned off by the cost of running dual batteries in those trucks. I'd rather go nitro.

Yeah, one pack vehicles are OK since you can alternate your packs. The charge time for two packs would cause my ADD to act up :lol:

Nitro has it's benefits for sure. :-o ...and some downfalls.

I'd go nitro if I could afford one with reverse...I'm too old and lazy to chase a toy truck every time it ends up too close to something. :sad:

Sportwerks Reaction, has a an electric motor to back out of situations, and decent nitro cars don't get much cheaper than $300.

Cool! reverse and electric start! Now that may be a nitro have to start saving for. :-o Maybe I could mount a servo from a car door-lock to pop it back up on its wheels when it rolls...then I wouldn't even have to get out of te lawn-chair :???:
