Typical Traxxas quality and design. Why do i have thousands in their RCs? I dont know. I really dont. I have issues with every single model but I continue to buy their subpar products. I truly hate myself.
I used to own only Traxxas. I believed the channels saying they were better and worth the premium price. I thought a chassis that wasn't plastic would fold like paper at the slightest impact. The Fireteam going on sale for $399 a couple years back on black friday finally made me take a chance on non Traxxas. I've never looked back. My fleet of Traxxas rigs is down to 1 Xmaxx and a TRX6 G63. The Mercedes is about to be for sale and replaced with the new Rlaarlo and I might get rid on my final Xmaxx if the aftermarket gets behind the Vigilante like I hope. I already know my Vigilante is a better truck than Xmaxx but I don't know if it's gonna be supported in 5 years without aftermarket help. My collection now is mostly Arrma rigs with a few large scale trucks from other Horizon brands mixed in. I do know it'll take a whole lot more than the Maxx Slash or Ultimate version of some teen year old design to make me ever buy another Traxxas.
