I think they did a really good job on this one. Everyone will have a gripe or two, but I expect this release to be fairly well received overall.

For some reason, I'm not a fan of portals though.

Thanks for posting. I wonder what the price of this will be? Looks like they're doing things to compete with some of the TRX4 features. I hope to be in the crawler market in the summer. I'd rather not buy Traxxas, but it is on the top of my list at the moment.

Kit version is $369.99 on the Horizon website https://www.horizonhobby.com/1-10-scx10iii-jeep-jl-wrangler-w-portals-4wd-kit-axi03007
I really really really want the TRX-4 Bronco.

My list has just been moved around.
This is going to be on the top.

Their crawlers are pretty good. I have a TRX-6, real nice vehicle and fun as heck.

Thanks. So by the time you add 3 servos, transmitter, receiver, esc, and motor it's likely to be more than the RTR TRX-4. I have my eye on on the TRX4 kit that comes with the electronics but no body, and priced even with the scx10 iii. While I love the look of that Bronco as well (either color), I would really like a self painted pickup truck style body.

I know their crawlers are good and feature rich, which is why it's currently #1 on my list. I'd just rather not support them if I can get something comparable in a similar price range.

I'm in the situation that all I need is the 2 mirco servos and paint to complete the build.

That would make it a different story.
