    Personally I think ARRMA is taking a page out of the traxxas playbook and price gouging early customers. Traxxas did it with the drag slash, raptor R, sledge and probably more. The profit margins on these suckers has to be high. I think they’ll all be under $120 once a brushless version comes out and the brushless version might start at $200 and trickle down to like $180

    That suspension lawsuit is garbage. Traxxas wasn't the first in RC with that suspension setup. Schumacher had pushrod laydown front shocks on the Top Cat and Tenth technology also had a similar setup on the Predator long before the Revo came out.

    • @DoRC

    • @DoRC

      It's actually only 30 days on their electronics and they don't seem to even specify a length of time on everything else anymore which is weird. That being said at least in my opinion if something isn't obviously defective right out of the box and isn't electronics related it's almost certainly at least partially going to be caused by use so I'm not sure that's that big of a deal.

    A huge chunk of the patents Traxxas owns are designs that have been in use for a very long time already or are extremely generalized; they shouldnt have gotten them in the first place. Pushrod suspension, central steering arms, or o-rings to seal boxes are age old inventions. Traxxas goal isnt to protect themselves, but to shoot down any possible competition; this behaviour even has a name: "patent trolling". They dont even expect to win in court, often the goal is just to destroy the competition with years of cease and desist orders. The problem is that they somehow even get these patents registered. Funnily enough these types of patents arent even recognized by the EU in some cases. For an example: Asetek was the sole producer of all in one watercooling devices for a long time, due to a patent on putting the pump and cooler plate in the same housing. When a European manufacturer stepped in they tried to sue them. The European court simply said: thats such a generalized patent that we wont recognize it.

    • @DoRC

      Yeah this feels very similar to the asetek thing. Patenting a already well-known or pretty broad concept just to prevent other people from competing feels like it's only good for the company doing it.

    When I first got into rc I was OBSESSED with Traxxas a name brand, simply because their vehicles looked to be so much more advanced than any other company that I had bought from previously. But after trying 1 or 2 of their vehicles, and also trying out a Losi, Team Associated, Arrma, and Axial, I realized that Traxxas wasn't any more bang for the buck than the others in terms of features and durability to price ratio. Imo Traxxas is way overpriced for what they give you. And after the latest lawsuits, I've grown really disenchanted with them.

      These days their prices are higher than just about everybody else.

      Yeah it's hard to imagine that litigation doesn't hold innovation back.

    Just ordered the carbon version because of you, I’m excited. Can I run 4s with stock motor? Was thinking of just slapping a 120a esc

      Technically according to them the motor is only 3S compatible but it should be fine on 4S.

      @@DoRC yea on their Instagram they run theirs 4s with 3900kv which seems a little high, I’d probably do 3300kv 3660 if it fits

    These were all the reasons we stopped buying Traxxas. My wife has a mint condition Nero, I keep trying to get it off her and it's not happening lol. I offered her my hopped up Xmaxx and she said no lol. I went back to buying Kyosho, Associated and waiting for re-release versions of Losi cars and trucks lol

    I love Traxxas products, but I really hate their history of excessive lawsuits. I got into the hobby back in 2019....years after the Arrma Fazon came out. I saw a video of the Fazon on RUclips and went to my local hobbytown to try and see if it can be ordered....sad day for me when the guys told me Traxxas made sure no one can buy that car brand new at any hobby store.

      I would definitely recommend trying to get a used one. They are pretty fun!
