Exactly! I don’t want an rc that’s going to be discontinued in a year or two and then I can’t find parts anymore! And if they hate them so much why even waste their time posting these idiotic comments?? Do something constructive with your time because these are going to sell like crazy! It’s nice to find comments to agree with on here lol
Looks awesome. I personally love the BL 2s platform. Sure they don’t have rocket ship speed, but that’s the point. They’re quick enough for the track, but not so fast that if you have a mishap, it’ll break. My slash BL2s has survived many outings with my neighbors 7 year old daughter. She’s put that thing through the wringer and it’s still going strong and nothing has broken. It’s durable and fun to drive. I may just grab one of these new mudbosses. Most of my recent purchases have been Arrma. But this one’s peaked my interest a little. Great video, Mark.
For someone looking to get into dirt oval and getting a Mudboss, i feel like traxxas nailed it. For the cost you get the brushless motor, the tires and the body and don't have to mod. Not that my opinion matters, but this is one of the few times i feel traxxas killed it, especially the bodies fit the class of car!!!!
Traxxas stoped to be race cars after 2000s no days they are so long after the curve of race cars that the nearest is vintage racing (bandit in buggy class) or spec class racing.
Yep pretty much! Now this one has a few “upgrades” so in my opinion it is worth it unless you already have a modded slash then just get the body and other needed parts
Well I give Traxxas credit for thinking a little out of the box & here it comes,but it’s still placing a different body on a basic same old chassis other then a few things like new bumpers. Traxxas needs to update a lot of the basic parts & chassis.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, I love that I can still find parts for my 10 year old slash and keep it going. I don’t want to waste my time or money on an rc that I won’t be able to find parts for in 2-3 years when it inevitably breaks!
@@mikes062 That saying is redundant it’s not saying that things like the TRX4 chassis is bad but growth is what makes a company $ tell me what company has that Motto it’s like a know it all saying ya I know everything I don’t need to grow or learn. But I do agree if Traxxas to change something like the chassis it would have a bunch of new parts you would have to buy & they are never cheap. I’m guessing Traxxas has something in the works because they see other companies just chewing away at their profits with equal or better stuff for cheaper.
Was gifted this car, its solud rtr car out of the box but not fast to be brushless, it isnt going to kill the current mudboss classes imo, my lical track already said its new class if 4 or more people show then they can run
There are some Traxxas models I do not desire, that one is at the top of my list of what not to purchase. I have learned to pick my battles as to what vehicles I use the most and which ones I can totally live without.
Why??? The small shops can sell them. They can race a small oval in the parking lot, that might bring even more curious people in, and help them sell more. Plus, the unavoidable parts sales-- Whether broken parts or upgrade parts. This will bring more awareness to the hobby🤷♂️🤷♂️
Nice model. I know a place where they still sell this model as the mudboss, not modified. Good collector item for those who like the packaging that had to be changed due to legal actions.
Sweet car but this kinda bugs me a little, I get it traxxas is noticing everybody converting they're cars into other things so they produce they're own version to profit off it, drag slash, the mini monster trucks now this... but why on earth haven't they produced the backslash yet?!?! Such a fun car when converted to a 1/8 buggy, and traxxas doesn't even have a 1/8 buggy in they're line up to compete with other companies you'd think they would jump on in and produce a backslash buggy
Wow! I'm surprised you liked this. You're usually so tough on Traxxas. Traxxas has been killing it lately with these last few releases. They've helped me save a lot of money and buy good rigs from other brands by making cars I've got less than zero interest in. 2s is great and plenty of power and speed. In a 14th or 12th scale car. This particular one could be 64S and still be of no appeal. Only thing it does for me is make the 2s Rustler seem less horrible. Thing is a wanna give Traxxas money. I used to buy only Traxxas. Then after the Xmaxx they completely gave up on exciting cars for a wide audience and now focus on how to use decades old chassis to wring out a few more dollars for those loyal remaining fans.
Was this planned? You and RCDriver posted at almost the same time. Too bad you two couldn't post together again. Would be a blast to see you guys race on the track.
That's a good idea, if a car comes out with a class for racing you guys should race them together. The NASCAR video wouldn't have been quite as entertaining without a bit of competition.
It’s like other TH-camrs, they were sent a review unit. Sometimes they give you free products. That’s why with every product you want, watch multiple TH-camrs get a general idea how it really is.
Majority of us BRITS ( UK ) including me won't buy overpriced plastic traxxas beginner bottom tier traxxas RC'S , including their $1500 overpriced plastic monstrosities 🤣 .
Now that is a Traxxas RC that I could get into! I know u love your Traxxas cars mark, but I had a bad experience with my first ever RC which was the Traxxas tmaxx and it blew up and it has been a shelf queen for the last 17 years unfortunately. But I really like that car! Perfect for spec racing for sure!
For those of us that don't usualy do circle track this great. A complete package out of the box set up to hit the track. Just drop in our battery and go! For under $400....
Just saw this, funny because I ordered the same thing from my hobby shop not an hour ago,,not available in Calif until end of the month!!can't hardly wait!!!!!😊
maybe we can now expect a slash v2 2wd with the new "heavy duty" parts. maybe even the 2wd stampede and rustler get the updated components including the GTR shocks? i love the 2wd stampede platform.
Very cool! I'm moving to Texas. I can race alot then. Not really feeling it here where I'm at cause there is only one track. I can go to Traxxas more often too.
What are the times you got? My wingless bandit runs 5.3 seconds at Indy without the fuel tube and bump stop treatment. I expect this to do better since it’s basically a race car from the factory.
Hmmmmm, kinda want a set of those tires for my Long Armed Bandit project, we run on a rough parking lot that can be pebbly and these would be better that the stadium truck tires I’m running now. Also may have to talk to the guys I run with, these would be perfect in the same lot!
This is so freaking rad, I think we have a new outdoor dirt oval near where I live that some of our local sprint car, imca modified and late model drivers go run their rc cars on when they aren't racing their big cars at the speedway. I might have to go check it out now and maybe get into it for something new.
$380 USD, a bit on the expensive side considering the BL2S but with all of the heavy duty parts, magnum transmission, and GTR shocks, it's honestly not a bad buy. I'm definitely picking one up. I'll see what it takes to convert it quickly between a heavy duty Slash short course, and the midwest mod. I think these will sell really well honestly.
@@FrankvdBerg 30-35 mph. Its good for dirt track beginners as this will more than likely become a new class separate to the old (and better) mudbosses. You dont want too much speed on a dirt oval since it will throw you off the track if too fast. You mainly want to gear it good enough to get more punch coming out of the corners so you maintain good speed.
Thanks mark I didn’t need another new car but 🤦🏼😅 EDIT: I got a pink one it’s so sick I want to put those wheels on my Raptor R and my rustler lmao 🤣 EDIT 2: i tossed my box 🤦🏼still have all the paperwork at least 😋
Do you happen to know the dimensions of that oval? I want to build a backyard oval track but I am constantly getting conflicting dimensions that I need.
They are all different, the important part is you need 10ft wide road, anywhere from 60 to 100 ft for the straight length, 35 to 50 ft outer dimensions in the short direction is a good size
Reason why I like that they keep using the slash platform.unlimited part supply no matter how old your slash is 😎
Exactly! I don’t want an rc that’s going to be discontinued in a year or two and then I can’t find parts anymore! And if they hate them so much why even waste their time posting these idiotic comments?? Do something constructive with your time because these are going to sell like crazy!

My son and I have raced mudboss for 4 years this thing is freaking killer, looks amazing
I’m so glad that the GTR shocks come with it as standard equipment, they’re finally listening!!

Not that my opinion matters, but this is one of the few times i feel traxxas killed it, especially the bodies fit the class of car!!!!
Sweet the 46th slash I guess.
If it ain't broke don't fix it I guess
This one is 379. I think that’s the second highest slash (the drag slash is the highest I think)
@@Jmcqueary03ultimate slash is the most expensive
yes its look like just a hoped up slash with new body.
I exclusively run paved banked oval and this makes me super excited and this looks like it mounts to a clipless system which makes me extra happy
Awesome! Traxxas bringing it back to race cars!! So stoked!! Next stop: stadium truck racing!!!
Traxxas stoped to be race cars after 2000s no days they are so long after the curve of race cars that the nearest is vintage racing (bandit in buggy class) or spec class racing.
The Box With Mud Boss On it is already a COLLECTORS ITEM. Mud Boss has been removed from Recent Cars over Use of the Name! THANKYOU SALVAS!!👍👏
This is not a Mudboss! This is a IMCA/UMP mod! This is a NEW class not at all the same as the Mudboss class.
its not a mod if it comes out of the box like it is
so, new front bumper and a body, and I can turn my 2wd slash into a "mudboss"
Yep pretty much! Now this one has a few “upgrades” so in my opinion it is worth it unless you already have a modded slash then just get the body and other needed parts
Thanks for the plug Mark. It has the potential to be a great class, and the nice part was they gave us a template to make more wraps from.
When will yall have them available?
Well I give Traxxas credit for thinking a little out of the box & here it comes,but it’s still placing a different body on a basic same old chassis other then a few things like new bumpers. Traxxas needs to update a lot of the basic parts & chassis.
WHY ?????? so we hafta keep/buy all kinds of new parts to make the parts bin even more congested ??? yah that makes soooooooo much sense 🤦♂️🤦♂️
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, I love that I can still find parts for my 10 year old slash and keep it going. I don’t want to waste my time or money on an rc that I won’t be able to find parts for in 2-3 years when it inevitably breaks!

Why???

New class for MSM Spec Slash 3.0!!!
If Traxxas came out with a NASCAR body for this, that would be awesome
Who says they won't, Traxxas can easily pop a Nascar body (price will increase because of licensing tho).
So cool they Traxxas nailed it, they killed the wheels and tires they look spot on!!!! But i can hear the haters now!!! here we go!!!
I don't hate it. But it's mid. For premium price.

Need to see a side by side race comparison with your tuned mudboss.
Now that is a Traxxas RC that I could get into!

Not a hater at all but geez how many times you re-bake a Slash?
Its like the TRX4
Well, they’re really rebaking the Bandit/Rustler with this one.
@@GreenJeep1998 Sure, that too! I mean Traxxas needs to innovate a little. And the prices these days are absolute ROBBERY.
Better than getting discountinued and parts going extinct I would say
@@OGPAPERBOY77 My thoughts exactly!
Don't see this as a big seller nationally...very regional , not sure why Traxxas would put in the effort for this version.
Reckless crew checking in! Love the content and that thing runs pretty good! hoping to pick myself up one of the pink ones!
My kids were able to drive and liked it a lot. It looks the part and drives good to.
I had a slash setup for mudboss, but after the experience I had with the other racers at my local track I never went back.
Big shout out to the Salavs Brothers for this platform. Traxxas ripped off their idea
maybe we can now expect a slash v2 2wd with the new "heavy duty" parts. maybe even the 2wd stampede and rustler get the updated components including the GTR shocks? i love the 2wd stampede platform.
Are the rims offset front and rears like the old stock slash 2wd?
it'll be great to get new people into racing if they have a stock class
First thing NOT A MUDBOSS ,now would love to see it racing against a old school hcg mudboss,that would be the best comparison
We need more racing videos
Very cool! I'm moving to Texas. I can race alot then. Not really feeling it here where I'm at cause there is only one track. I can go to Traxxas more often too.
it's not a mudboss. it's a B-mod... it's fine to call it a spec class, but call it what it is...
What are the times you got? My wingless bandit runs 5.3 seconds at Indy without the fuel tube and bump stop treatment. I expect this to do better since it’s basically a race car from the factory.
Maybe me,I just can't get down with brushed or the new system just to slow
I’m not much of a traxxas fan but this is pretty cool.
Traxxas should come out with a sprint car
In Spec class do you have to use the stock radio?
Hey mark... I have a 2wd slash with the low cg chassis. Is there a kit to do one of these? Or a parts list?
Could you imagine those threaded tires on the back of the dragslash
Hmmmmm, kinda want a set of those tires for my Long Armed Bandit project, we run on a rough parking lot that can be pebbly and these would be better that the stadium truck tires I’m running now.
Also may have to talk to the guys I run with, these would be perfect in the same lot!
For a company that sues everyone for everything, they sure are quick to rip off the original Mudboss name and design / idea.
Oh shut up crybaby
Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they then copyright the name and then sue the original "owners" for continuing to use it.
Loved this video mark
Krismas everyday 😅😅😅
Love the vids keep killin it!
Look crazy 🚗💨
Makes you wonder if there’s a slash/rusty/bandit 2.0 with the LCG and new parts on the near horizon
Would like to see more about the new servo saver like if it can be adjusted.. love your videos great job
it's the same one they have on the slash 4x4 and you can't adjust it.
Love the slash. Love racing the slash, love beating dedicated racing rigs with my slash. Do i win races? Not really, but i dont finish last.
Excellent video it rocks
Didnt see this coming
Has to be a new class aluminum shocks...lcg chassis...but the hub carriers look better...
Better late than never! How about a late model version?
Wicked awesome.
Love MSM
This is awesome I love that it’s a 2WD makes it more of a drivers car an would be super fun in all sorts of loose terrain types 🤙🏽
that is not really interesting why cant they build 6x6 slash or 8x8slash
Does it come with a battery
Looks fun...for like 2 minutes
This is so freaking rad, I think we have a new outdoor dirt oval near where I live that some of our local sprint car, imca modified and late model drivers go run their rc cars on when they aren't racing their big cars at the speedway.

how much Mark??

Dirt oval track would be easy to build, just burn laps in your yard after it rains
Would love to see an open wheel modified. I know 1rc has one but that’s 1/18th scale
We race em in our group
Damn. I was gonna get a 4tec or something but this looks sick…
So with a new car comes a new class and another car to buy....lcg and good shocks make sense
Can I run this on a 3S Lipo?
Aftermarket clear bodies
Great video 👍
Sweet.!!
Love it..
Traxxas nailed it..
I love the slash . All around perfect truck..!
I hope to see the mudboss soon..

Should be solid rear axle... imo
Soo when they making a sprint car
Oh look another variation of the slash for traxxas to slap a different body and take your money.
I hate the UMP Style Bodies. Love The Northeast Style!!
The old one looks like a mod lite and the new one looks like a sport mod or a imca mod
Recycle..save the world😂
NICE…. I LIKE IT 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

so in other words traxxas has found a new way to charge an extra 100 for a 35mph bl-2s car?
How can I get an msm sticker?
2.nd
