Arrma Trophy Truck

[WildP1]

Does anybody know if Arrma will release a Trophy Truck similar to the new Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer? I would really like to have an rc trophy truck but the Traxxas one doesn't seem to be really sturdy.

That would be awesome if they did!! But I haven't heard anything and I don't know how many new models they will be releasing until the whole lawsuit/bankruptcy thing is finished. Have you looked at the Losi Super Baja Rey? Between the Unlimited Desert Racer and the Super Baja Rey, I would personally go with the Super Baja Rey myself. Don't have any experience with either one, just going off of looks and my preferences.

The Losi looks quite good! I don't see why it costs that much though. Looks really simple. What's going on with that bankruptcy/lawsuit thing? I haven't heared of that.

The two threads below have a bunch of info. Traxxas sued Hobbico over a bunch of things but the main one was the the Nero suspension design was copying the patented Revo design that has been in use in real cars for like 40 years....

The bigger you go, the more expensive everything becomes. A lot more metal instead of plastic, a lot more expensive bodies. These things are closing in on 1/5 territory where $1,000+ is easy to accomplish before modding.

Edit: Horizon sometimes has 10% off coupons, which would bring the Losi down to $720 vs the Traxxas $750.

Thank you for the answer! I hope arrma can carry on doing rc cars in the future!
