Latrax and Traxxas's motivation for bringing it back.part 2


Now this the second part of what I think could be expected of the Latrax line and why.
,
As most Traxxas fans are aware Traxxas is kind of running low on  electric 1/10 on road chassis's as of late. Yes they have introduced the Rally but its not really a dedicated on road car as it is primarily for multisurface driving as it should be . This hole has been empty for quite some time since the electric 4-TEC
was discontinued and given the popularity of awd touring / drift cars especially entry level RTR cars I could see them marketing a new 1/10 onroad chassis with the Latrax line as there are several brushed models and even a few brushless cars below $200 so I can see this as a very possible direction for them to be heading .

Now a few people have been hoping for a electric 4-TEC  Re Release and I don't think that will be the case if they were to try and recycle some of their older Technology I would think it would be based more on the Nitro 4-TEC . Despite their similar names both the electric and nitro were very different but I really think a all new chassis and design would actually be more likely . With the XO-1 in their stable another electric on road speed demon seems a strange direction to go so I'm going with a new 1/10 on road chassis optimised for drifting as that seems like a logical choice.  

Well now I'm out of Ideas again maybe there will be a part 3 to my speculation.
