In regards to the 100mph lockout I think it might be a command sent to the ESC so any radio might not unlock it. It has some good features;aerodynamics, tires and wheels, steel axles, real heavy-duty gears-but do I want a 100mph on-road car? I can't say I do. I think Traxxas has "jumped the shark".

Much rather wouldve had a 1/8 buggy.... kinda dissapointed in the name that brought me into the hobby

this is absolutely crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really want to get my hands on that mamba monster extreme as well!

why traxxas why traxxas why you have to make something so cool but make cost so much .
why traxxas why traxxas why couldnt it have been a 1/10 scale why

Well, I for one am not impressed. It's pretty, but that's about it for me. Have absolutely zero need or interest in a road only car, much less one that goes 100mph+. If they want my money they need to come out with something a lot more dirt- and pocket-friendly.

Talk about niche product with a vengeance...

Well it looks like traxxas have made it quite simple to convert it to an off road rc. You can see that the two plates that are for aerodynamics are removable from the top. It has 17mm hubs so 1/8th buggy wheels would just slide on. Then raise the body posts put some bumpers on it and a short course body like this one.

I think this looks cool, but $1099$?!?!??!!?! NOOOOO! I probably will never be able to afford that in my lifetime... :P

was Traxxas sponsored by apple or something?

send from an android device

100mph I can see someone getting seriously hurt if put in the wrong hands...

I wonder how it handles at slower speeds on a track?

But the first thing I said was "oh god"

Sucker weighs 10.3lbs w/ batteries... that will do some serious damage if it hit something at speed. Still, The idea of it is cool as heck and that alone will sell it.
