    You could have ran a 1/10 brushless system in it before they came out with a brushed version

    Yeah, I saw this coming, too. Look at the bright side, now it comes with that smaller 7024X receiver boxx (perfect for big block projects), and the 550 motor mount WITH the gear cover!!

    But it doesn't come with the 2.4 GHz radio system...
    Just accelerate, and only good will come.

    I saw it coming, as traxxas haven't particularly imaginative with its new models lately, and this can't have been very expensive or complicated to make.

    its a brushed rally with the volks an kb body/green links, not very complicated at all.
    i do also hope this will cause the prices of the body will go down.
    Everything overpowered...

    Well, that's correct, but think about it this way: If Traxxas is not putting much work any more into these 1/16 models, which are coming out with only minor changes to them a lot, that means that they must be putting all their time and energy into a different model which is going to be bigger and better than the brushed KB.

    Hahaha ...erevovxl u made me laugh

    It might be true but at the same time it might not, maybe they are trying to introduce the big block version to all 1/16th scale models, or make it more available to customers (cheaper), or they are just trying to get rid of extra titan motors stuck in the warehouse, who knows,

    Traxxas making a brushed version of the KB Rally, but it makes sense though...

    i was actually confused when i saw that there was a brushed version.... i thought this was the brushless era? what happened?, unless those brushed versions are the ones they were offering with the video game bundle DIRT 3, im pretty positive they were brushed with a 2.7 radio....
