Thankyou alvinsmith75. If you have already ordered it they have made the price adjustment to 374.99 minus the 60.00. What a deal!

[alvinsmith75]

Unreal huh? Just can't beat that deal. Haven't ordered one yet. Gonna hold out to see what else FE has to offer.

I'm a member and it still comes up $384.99 minus coupon

Is there a way without being a gold member to get the 60 off? Like use someone elses code? Im debating pre ordering, or let you guys test em first to see how they are.

Data

This boat is looking very impressive. a 540xl-1600 motor isn't huge either. Is it comparable to a Feigao? those at that KV are rated for about 60ish amps. I wonder what the wattage is when wrunning at that speed (a lot of w's )

Also, looks like a traditional deep vee, no flat ride pad?

Looks like we will have to wait and see one run before we get data on the motor and ESC, now July and nothing really new out about this boat.

Really interested in seeing the amperage of it running at speed. Building my 40" deep vee offshore boat now, knowing these numbers would help as my transom is notched for the surface drive, so ride surface is 37". RTR weight will be about the same at around 4.5 lbs, large scarab hull so plenty of room inside. If only I had data NOW!!!!! for the scream!

Its a scam I would never preorder anything off of ebay. Especially for 50 dollars over suggested retail. My hobby shop is selling them for 379.

I wouldn't trust any Ebay store to preorder personally, because they might not receive their inventory like they think they will and you still have to wait like everyone else till the end of August or later. Doesn't make much sense to pay 50 extra bones to wait like the rest of us.
Horizon isn't due to receive them till the end of August so I forsee a wait of a month or more if not Sept ???

When a club member puts is in his/her cart the "Club Special" price pops up.

I took your advice too and did the preorder. It's going to be nice to have a turnkey boat. I have a lot of "projects" and not much that actually runs!!

I spoke with a Traxxas customer service representative this afternoon and he told me the Titan will not be released now until August. He would not give me a specific date during the month of August - only that it will be ready for distribution out of the warehouse during August. I pre-purchased a red one at our local hobby store (HobbyTown USA) five weeks ago now so I can't stand waiting! We will get snow here before too long and I want to play with it before then.

I hear ya. I was really chomping at the bit for that new Parkzone Extra 300 plane too. But it's better than getting no information at all!

Word on the street is Traxxas found an issue they are working out. Delivery won't be until September now.

In anticipation of the eventual release of the Titan I was looking at the membership page of towerhobbies. I couldn't however seem to find this $60 discount I keep hearing about people using. How does that work again?
