We've got a big crawler club here in Louisiana, and alpinehyperlite met up with a few guys the other day to go crawling. The club is also working on something else, a traxxas slash class. They're going to be holding a series at each crawling comp with their slashes, and I'm thinking I might buy one today or tomorrow and get it on the fun. I ran across this list of slash class rules just in case some of you were thinking about having some serious 1/10 scale CORR races.

I didnt know they were on sale yet Charlie. Can you tell me who I can order one through? PLEASE
 
The best deal that I have found is with ultimate hobbies. They are offering them for $179 with free shipping. Traxxas has just started shipping them in the last few days to their vendors, so I expect to see them arriving to customers that have preordered them in the next week sometime. That's not a guarantee, just my estimate.

Sweet, thanks for the info. My gf has become interested in RC Racing now also and I think this truck would be an excellent choice for her since she doesn't care for the noise of nitro. Guess i'll be calling the LHS on monday to see when they expect to get them in.
 
Man these thinsg are SWEET. Wheelbase is 13 inches, and everyone says that it is scaled really well, and the scale speeds are great. I'm about to order mine right now. Thought you guys would like to see some real video of them in action. I think traxxas hit a home run with this one. These are going to be insane when set up with brushless and LiPo.
