Traxxas CORR Truck
|
Just another toy
|
13mm
13mm wheelbase thats gonna turn realy well ? :woot:
|
HAHAHAHA... just americans trying to use metric system...
|
Well it had to happen, Thundertech have been taking so long developing their officially licensed CORR replica truck that they have been beaten to the shops. Even though this is just a buggy on steroids at least the body is nicer than the Thundertech one.
BTW Thundertechs scale truck is here |
i like it, it would be good for a dirt jump area
the shell is nice :thumbsup: http://www.traxxas.com/products/elec...tro/intro3.jpg |

when is it out?
i want one to bash with :drool: |
That looks cool. I'd love to see a class for it. (Won't happen I know, but it would be cool)
It'd make a change for a bit of fun. Loving the scale look for a change instead of the stadium trucks with the wheels sticking outside the shell. |
it does look fab, dig what they done to the chassis to raise ground clearance instead of long dangly suspension....
|
Hi,
How much will it cost? Do you think as much as the E-Maxx? Greetings Mathieu OT:PS: Is there any area for presentations of new Forum-members? |
I think it looks ace:woot:

Ace! |
Agreed, these could make for a fun 'control' class of budget racing.
|
I really liked it, until I saw the size, its MASSIVE
on the other hand, the body might fit nicely over an 8th nitro car though |
LOOK AGAIN Chris!! 13mm wheelbase, this thing is uber tiny! :lol: seriously tho, where did you see the relative size?
|
they must have the equiv of a Nano-T then?
http://clodzone.com/wp-content/uploa...sslash_023.jpg thats a 10th scale TRUCK next to it |
so should be 13" not 13mm wheelbase lol, still it looks fab!!!
|
blumming heck thats HUGE
I didn't realise that either, it looks 10th scale |
when i first saw it I thought it looked ace, like the Losi SODA truck body they did for the xx4.
now im not so keen |
yeah the size is a little less appealing, I'd still have a play with one tho.
|
it looks worse in the first photo because of the perspective. but in the second pic, it doesn't look too bad...probably a couple of inch or so bigger.
Still looks cool, and should be good to race. |
I'd defo like to play - don't think it would be quite the same on some astro track tho. Would have to find a bit of dirt! :lol:
|
Don't forget the Losi Desert Truck, which is XXX-based:

I think both the Traxxas and the Losi look a bit wrong (The Traxxas is too big, the losi too plain and the sticky out wheels don't help).
The old Losi XX4 truck on the other hand, I though was really nice. Shame it didn't take off.. |
Garry beat me to it :)
|
I think the traxxas looks big compared to a 10th scale, but on it's own I bet looks cool.
The Losi just don't look right, CORR trucks don't have open wheels.... poor effort Losi... |

Associated and Losi have plans to make one sometime this year.:thumbsup:
OMG get the traxxas one that one looks like crap! The traxxas one looks one heck of alot better, I might get one later. The heck with that losi design. The slash has the looks of a real Corr, that one doesnt at all, looks like the Speed-T with different body and tires...:( |

I like the looks of this one myself...:thumbsup: You noticed traxxas has smaller tires and smaller A-arms to get the look they wanted. It's hard to tell the original from the r/c in the video. If I get this I hope it's brushless ready, because I push my rc's to the limit! |
I don't know if the wheels are smaller, but they are certainly more 'scale' - video of it says it's brushless ready with a tough gearbox and decent slipper
|
I think the ultimate 'new' class would be semi scale looking CORR trucks (Traxxas no Losi) with 10.5T limited motors and any batts you like.
30 minute final main event, 10 minute other finals with bump ups :D running big mAh LiPo batts and just 10.5's (or maybe even less motor) you could just bump up without charging :thumbsup: |
when you say 10.5t I keep thinking of some mental wind brushed, but I guess you mean those new brushless things? the supplied motor doesn't look too bad but generally with those type of motors they don't last long (can't maintain them)
|
its a 19 turn equiv.
but if you are looking at the Traxxas CORR truck, it would just spoil it to put a 3.5 brushless in it and 3s LiPo, might as well have the Losi wideboy one |
Quote:
The Losi just looks like they got a XXXT and slapped a shell on.... |
I wonder if you could fit XXX wishbones on it and get the wheels back under the arches.
I don't know why they didn't just re-mould their SODA truck body and slap it on a xxx-4, that would of cost less R&D bucks than what they released surely? add some LED's from their drift car and some 'detail' features and it would have been ace... |

Are you on crack :confused: |
That Traxxas truck is the first product of theirs I've ever told myself "I'd buy one of those..."
Here's hoping more kits come out! |
There's something to be said for scale looking cars isn't there - perhaps we'll get scale looking buggies again one day too
|
Jimmy, put them flares away, you not regressing back to the 70's and early 80's :lol: But I know what you mean!
