I can see the Traxxas one like a Duratrax one, but you never know. When the Slash 1st came out, everybody hated it, and now everybody likes and so do I (kinda)

You're right. They can't design anything new.
Let's take a look at history!
Stampede/Rustler/Badit
Sledgehammer
SRT/TCB
T-maxx/E-maxx
Revo
Yup, never had an original thought on their drawing boards.

yeah, and they pretty much started the monster truck market with the t-maxx
there were some other mt's before, but the t-maxx really was the one that got things going
starting the monster truck trend is a pretty minor feat eh?

The original T-Maxx progressed to the 2.5, which progressed to the 2.5r, which progressed to the 3.3, which progressed to the classic 3.3. Here we are years and years later and the only thing thats changed are the engines, wheels, and some other small stuff. We still have weak bulkheads.

Who races AE 1/10 truck? Ryan Cavaleri, Ryan Mayifield, and of course Jared Tebo.
Who races Losi 1/10 truck? i dont know. And this is coming from a Losi fan!!!!!!
What im trying to say (and many other pople say this too) that Losi puts most of their money into a product and AE puts their money into their drivers. the only good driver Losi has is Adam Drake. Both Matt Francis and Brian Kinwald left. Todd Hedge is ok.

Schumacher started the 4wd buggy deal.
And the Street Weapon? WOW what a terd. Yeah, let's put tiny arms on a 1/10 4wd buggy and call it a touring car. Capital idea! Good thing that heap made way for better cars.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a losi fan (owner of a SECOND XXXNT as of today), but you have to give credit where credit is due.

Not to mention RTR brushless, RTR 2.4ghz, etc.

although losi did have a RTR brushless before traxxas,
losi's never sold in volume, and traxxas pushed tons onto the street
I don't think you can claim you started a trend if you just came up with the idea, and then someone different actually came along later and made your idea succesfull
I think, although they weren't first to market with it, you have to give RTR brushless credit to Traxxas as well

Losi made mini's popular. Although their mini's now are junk, they started and HUGE trend.
Anybody want a mini-baja PM me.

It would perform terribly if it used the Revo syle shocks I would think.
