    Cool The body

    What's everyone think of the body? I like it, it's a little different than other's. I really like the scoop on the top. With the engine being exactly in the middle of the chassis I think it's actually functional---unlike most. That should help with cooling some, and give it style points.

    I really like the new body.. It has a "go fast" appeal to it, great lines and a well rounded look.. Also its like no other body, which really sets it apart..
    Traxxas really went back to the drawing boards and burned up a few pencils coming up with this truck..

    Id give it 2 thumbs up!!!

    From what I can tell from the pictures there will be Blue, Red, that Dark Grey color, and I think that's all I saw in the pics. I bet that's it, cars like the Revo or Nitro 4-tec come with those basic colors like Red, Black, Yellow, Blue.

    I think traxxas are releasing a whole new breed of RC's (T-Maxx, S-Maxx, E-Maxx = REVO, Jato) Just look at the REVO and the JATO, they are basically brothers. That JATO body has revo writted all over it. I love it, and the wheels are so awesome.

    Take a look at a pic without the body on and notice the gas tank position. That means you will need a hole smack dab in the middle of the windshiled. The pull for the tank lid exits the hole by the motor. They should have done something about this.

    If you look closer, the gas tank is right in line with the engine. So the body's cooling hole acts as a gas tank re-fill hole too.
