I think that is what they fail to see. They can make their money back on hop ups. But some long time fans may start to look elsewhere. Internet is broad to shop.

@telecomandorc I just think it's sad that they advertise that price and then they switch it once they put the product out that's illegal that's called bait and switch I don't care what anyone says don't you agree

@@user-wp9mz Honestly, I would not have cared if they had done it after the 29th. But the fact that they did it before the 29th after so much excitement and the entire "oh look, the new mini Maxx leaked" propaganda is what I consider sly. It really is not cool especially for the brand loyalist. I agree with you that it is wrong.

Buy an Omni terminator if you don't already have one. I've not driven a mini Max but it's gonna have to be a really special little truck to be as good as the Rlaarlo and near impossible to be $50-$80 better. I'll know for sure which is better once my buddies gets delivered. The mini Max may not be bad but the Omni is really good. Even handicapping it down to 2s like the mini Max I'd expect it to still be faster and all around a better performer. That standard center diff is gonna make a huge difference. It'll take a lot more money to bring the mini Max up to par spec wise. By that point you can order about every upgrade offered for the Rlaarlo and have a bullet proof mini basher.

@boduke9428 Omni Terminator I'll have to get one I don't have that truck in my Arsenal LOL thanks for the advice looking forward to more videos

Wow! Local shop? I would have too for that price.

That’s not bad from traxxas imho . They re in every hobby shop around the country

🤝 My pleasure. and on the contrary, thank you. It's comments like yours that give me leads and ideas.

Muy cierto. Y en Aliexpress tienen muy buenos precios en el Rlaarlo ahora.

@telecomandorc ahora está en Amazon 212us

The tires will rub. You will need to mount it higher. The wheelbase is also a little different, so you will need to trim a bit.

@ thankypu for your response brother💪👍🏽

The bead of the tire needs to go between the ring and the rim of the wheel to lock in the bead. It could be the rim is not tight enough.

Enjoy it. They are awesome. Even brushed they are fun. But Hobbywing makes them a blast.

@@telecomandorc Thanks for the reply... I know me. I just got back from the LHS.. i'm not going to be happy without all the goodies. Hobbywing is what they suggested to make it come to life. I'm going back Monday for the transformation. I already purchased a crap load of 2 S batteries... but i do have other 4 S batteries for other models.. What would you suggest for a high end 2S system?

@@gewglesux Depends on the price range. One of my favorite motors is the Tekin Pro4 HD 4300Kv. It is awesome on 2s with an Tekin RX8. I would not go with 4s are it will be had on the entire truck and bearings. The Hobbywing 3665 is a great system. Power like no other. The least expensive would be the Quicrun 3660. The first two are sensored and the third is not. IF you want a Castle Creations, I would go with there 1215 motor and 4s with a Copperhead ESC. The Mamba can handle more power, but the Copperhead has been more reliable for me.

@@telecomandorc i've already spent good money on something that i didn't really want. I now have the option to make it almost better than what i really wanted in the first place. so a few extra dollas aint gonna hurt. I will say that since i already a kings ransom in new fresh batteries i'd like to stay with a high end 2s system.ive heard of Hobby wing before.. good results.

@@gewglesux If you get a change, check out my HW 3665, HW 3660, Tekin 4300, and Castle Creations Copperhead. My top pick would be the Tekin followed by the HW.

Sounds dreamy. Are you going with the 1.3" wheels and swappers?

@telecomandorc Stock Traxxas mt's. Inch wide . They don't fill the tire. Just take the edge off the landing.

@telecomandorc Custom M has swampers. great tires!

I mentioned this to someone else in a post below... The Typhon is hard to beat at this price. The Typhon Grom is just a really good deal.

Seems this should have been taken into account previously.

Thanks for the info.

Will do.

Do you know if they issued an apology? I have not found one. But the website states the following under terms and conditions: Policies, pricing, and item availability are subject to change without notice, and we reserve the right to limit quantities. Prices, quantities, and availability displayed on our site are subject to final approval at the time of order fulfillment. So they could have done it just for kicks.

@telecomandorc No. Traxxas doesnt issue apologies. As a dealer you either pay the extra to make sure you have it there in time or you dont get any and your customers go elsewhere. Its shady tactics but thats how it goes I guess.

@@gregarnone It's to bad because dealer are usually really cool people.

I would not hold it against the hobby shop. They need to keep their contacts and have to do what the manufacture says. Hobby shops are just neighbors trying to make a living in some cases.

I am actually hoping they come out with a mini Sledgehammer. Then again, a wideminimaxx would meet the same criteria. Yeah, that would be cool.

@ if anything they would replace the 1/16 revo with a mini sledge which would be better

@@kirk0respite Exactly. You speak my language. 🤝

Excellent point and example. I am curious, why the Vigilante over the Kraton? Is it the double brace, body (it is awesome looking)? Then again, Redcats tend to have a friendly price tag too.

Sorry, I am confused. The website says "Pre order... $269.95" and it used to be $249.95. When you say that is pre-orders only, why does it say pre-orders... $269.95? Or, do you mean shops are still honoring the original $249.95?

Did they take payment? Mine did not.

@ just had to put half down.

@@romrez4130 That's good. At least they are honoring the price.

I did too. You were spot on, and so was I. And it still bogs my mind why a switch so soon.

That's what worries me. A Typhoon is really hard to beat at price point for bashing. Traxxas might start pricing itself out in some sectors.

@telecomandorc that new typhon looks good . The 3s

@@Shellzwick And the Grom variant is only $220.

What was the extra for? You might be able to request a refund from customer service if the price was advertised at $310 but jumped to $340 at checkout without it being a shipping or tax thing.

That's called tax.....

@@boduke9428 So $340 pre tax. Wow, they pulled one.

​@telecomandorc no, 319 pre tax and after the 5-8 percent state taxes it's 340. If out the door was 340 it was indeed a tax. But op doesn't specify if they upcharged with or without tax. Scummy practice that may be how your local hobby store operates. Normally you could call them out on it though. If traxxas did that internally don't buy from them. Don't support scummy business practices.

@@Fyxxterzc Got it. I misunderstood.

You sure about that?. Sale date is Nov. 29th.

@@gregarnone yep. cash deal.

@mxthunder2 you cant pay cash or credit for a product that hasnt shipped yet. First delivery demos havent even shipped yet. Stop lying.

@@gregarnone not lying. my LHS got 14 of them in yesterday. ill be glad to post pictures later today. lots of shops are getting them in. its not a huge deal

@mxthunder2. So your LHS would want to risk losing their Traxxas account by selling you the ttuck two weeks early? Not very smart on their part.

Fair argument as far as the "new" thing out.

I see $20 may not seem like much, but now it will take you almost 7 hours of your work life to pay it. But, hey, it is a free country and it's your money. Even if it were shipping, they should have considered this long ago. Price it high and drop the price.

They do keep some shops afloat, probably. They are like the MTG card game to shops it seems. I could be wrong. But there are so many other options for less. I hope Traxxas stays strong, but now sure the current model will help.

They might. I am up in the air about it as we speak.

Quite witty. 👏👏👏

It would have been better if they over priced it and brought it down. Then again, it is already priced high at $250.

@@telecomandorc yeah the price kept me away and this will certainly ensure I'm not an early buyer.

@@chrissigmon5678 $20 may not sound like much, but that could cover an upgrade. And Arrma is hard to beat at price point. I like Traxxas models, but the price will keep some new comers at bay.

Makes sense. Maybe they got all the pre-order numbers and figured they could get away with it.

It stays straight most of the time... on my shelf. Driving? This thing could be a pretzel. But it's so enjoyable.

There goes that idea. You are right. They are $120 now. I have to buy my own stuff. I am not sure I will be getting this motor if it is not on sale now. 😮‍💨

Thank you. Part of me want another one just to have a basher and a shelf queen.

😁 Awesome... just awesome. The HW Quicrun 3660 series systems are just what the Traxxas 1/8 scale (1/10 SCT) models need.

My pleasurer. And thank you. I appreciate the compliment.

Fun times ahead.

On a follow up to this video, that was the problem. Heat is an issue.

My pleasure. 🤝

😅 I guess you are right.

Wonderful. My pleasure.

Could. Maybe it is just the appearance.

That is good news.

@ the car broke on the last main it was in(I think d or c main). Got tangled up with another racer battling out for first.

I see you point and agree with the modern breeding concept and I also disagree with where the GSD has gone and how humans has really done a disservice to "man's best friend". But the original bull dog was mean to be compact, stout, and robust to harass bulls (thus the name bull dog). And why my comparison as this truck looks compact stout and robust. Chihuahuas, I am not sure what their purpose is other than food over 500 years ago as they are not as good a rat tarriers. I could be wrong.

I like how it is forward of the motor and the shroud overlaps the top to direct the air over the entire motor.
