Correct, but still requires you to remove the transmission to put the pin in from the other side making future maintenance or repairs more labor intensive. The point was, they fixed everything else on the car. It would have been nice if they fixed the pin issue that has occurred “since the 1st gen Stampede.”

I do hope they'll do a 4WD version as well for people who race in the open world. But for organized spec racing this 2WD is fantastic! 2WD is great for racing because you really have to drive, you can't just powerslide out of trouble on a turn as easily, and I respect that.

Now this is a car i really want. They just need to make it go faster now.

I LOVE dirt oval !!!!!

My LHS is planning on adding an oval track near their main track and I’m almost certain these things are gonna be driven there a lot. I love going to true modified races and it would be awesome to race it in RC. Don’t quite have the budget for a new RC right now sadly

It’s not a Mudboss and that title has caused a lot of butt hurting but I like it and definitely want it for SC Mod. Bloodline RC and Oval RC did a joint review and unboxing on Marks channel. They ran it and had the same push. Mark did couple turns on the right rear shock to stiffen it up and that loosened it up a bit and that easy adjustment made the difference and you could actually see the slight sliding that brought him around better. That right there sealed the deal for me. I want it!

Whoah!

We have two oval tracks in town,and another 1hr away. These have already almost sold out on preorders. Spec class is going to be fun.

The colour choices and colour matching is very cool, love the look of the pink one

tq remote on this is crazy

Nothing like a Midwest modified with the rear 4 bar suspension set up my dad races a real mod .

As a retired dirt track racer - pure stock then modified - I absolutely love this and probably will end up with one just to tear up around baseball diamonds with the kid. However I wish the liveries weren't so... Traxxas. I hope to see an unpainted body that I paint and decal to make it look like my old Rocket chassis car.

Few years behind would of been nice to of had this option in 2012 to 2014 when I raced dirt oval rc I started with a slash and quickly traded it for a used sc10 because of the high center of gravity the slash had fast truck but rolled to easy this out of the box without much work would of been competitive for a fraction of what it cost to build one from scratch

Looks like the drag car are going on a cut back who saw this coming. Still pretty cool though from factory

Very cool

The back panels are mint to be that flimsy

Very cool they put something out for the class. To be honest, I'm not a fan or NASCAR, so driving in an oval sounds as exciting as watching it. Great review as always!

Unless u have a dirt oval near and maybe some kids that are getting into the hobby I see running a few packs and it being sold online really hoping for a 4wd bandit or a 1/16 sledge or maybe a Traxxas 1/24 crawler
