I agree 100%. Working at my hobby shop we see jacked up and mangled Yeti's and Scores all the time. IMHO it's not a very well thought out platform, it's got dozens of weak points. Hopefully Traxxas knocks it out of the park like they have been with all of their recent releases.
Manager at LHS ~7 Years. I've seen some stuff lol
First lets talk about the RC truck posted above. That is a Yeti conversion, pre SCORE model, similar to what JPRC did with his yellow truck. Running 2.2s knock offs with RC4WD dune trackers. Proline BFG KR2s are the current TT tire of choice for the most part in the SCT size format today. They would be on this truck otherwise, aligning with the date fourdub gave for it. Either way, its a nice looking build.
Back on track for a Traxxas dream. The same could be said for the TRX 4. Wait for this year's show that leaked the TRX crawler pics last year. I begged and pleaded with some Traxxas folks at RCX a few years back for a TT. Desert market is growing, Axial taking the first step, making a scaler desert rig out of the Yeti that is kinda fragile, Losi with their Rey formats, now with the Super Baja Rey truck, electric. AE with that DB8 thing. Only fitting that the best brand in RC would step up and rock the world, with something radical. Serious $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to be made in that market. Traxxas already has Method licensing (new Bronco crawler coming out, 2.2s), who cares about the shocks, the scale looking ones suck anyhow, and put a Raptor body on it (already licensed) like most of the TTs out there. Golden. Question is 2wd or 4wd? I personally would like to see 2wd,, but a long travel suspension truck like the 1:1. Time will tell. Who knows, if enough people rub the lamp, the genie might pop out and grant our wish.![]()
I will be very amused if it looks like my solid axle rustler lol
nice points![]()

I guessing if they would go 4wd like the Losi super Rey and others. 2wd would be a nice thing to try and see Maybe they will offer both options of configuration 2wd and 4wd.
Hmm still no teaser pics or news it’s the fair tomorrow thought we would have atleast had a teaser pic by now![]()
Theyre doin a good job keepin this one a secret lol. Its gotta be sumthin extra special. Gettin ansy to see wat it is

so far it seems that there is only the bronco trx4 as "new" at the trx stand in nuremberg. however trx does of course not need a toy fair to present new cars. we will see if it was just rumors or something real is coming "soon"....

i have my information from german hobbyshops who are attending the toy fair and are posting pictures from every stand they are visiting.
we will see if there is more "news" coming. but so far there are no "big news" from trx at the toy fair. actually there is no "big news" at all ...![]()

ok ok. there is light at the end of the tunnel!some pictures of a "new traxxas trophy truck" seem to pop up. don't know if the first visitors just ignored that or if the car wasn't there in the morning.... so there is still hope for more!
take a look at post #34

Rc caraction has some revo pics on there Facebook page. Look in the comments about the desert truck, they have some pics.
Great recon fourdub! Incredible detail. I want one now!!!! Now we need a release date.............
That is awesome!!!!!
That trophy truck is cool. But I'm still waiting for a 2.0 summit any information out there on it?
Wow now that was worth the wait !
Rock on Traxxas super excited to get my hands on one
Not very often does a RC truck leave me speechless. Now is one of those times. I absolutely love it.![]()

The scale detail on this one is just perfect. I hope it's not X-Maxx sized. I hope it's more Slash sized. Doesn't seem like it will be though.
It's 1:7 scale, no where near Slash size.
Amazing looking truck.
Now for the E-Revo 2.0!
