    Will this plastic hull handle the heat of the components or even a burnt esc or motor. Or even a high speed turn over. Motors are the same as they use in there cars just with cooling cans. I'd like to see it with 6s on 42mm metal props or even some lipos in a series set up for sure. What I like is there's 2 of everything turn fins and trip tabs. Rarely seen on a rtr. I might get one would love to see it run on wire drive set up. Bet then it hauls ass like a bat out of hell. Plus hulls handle chop better than anything else.

      They dont have an XL size motor for their cars...they use Neu-castle motors in their 1/8 scale apps.

        You have to pay an annual fee to become a super saver member. Then you will start getting e-mails with the coupon codes for discounts up to 60-bucks. I think the fee is 10-bucks for the year, Also free shipping over 150 dollar purchases.

          So, I'd get an email with the coupons once I joined. Cool!

            Yup, all you really need is the coupon code.

              It's not explicit in the terms. What happens is that once you join, you get a weekly promotional list of coupon codes. One of which is $60 of an order of 299. plus free shipping as the terms say.

                Ok cool. One more question:
                If I were to order the titan using the coupon and all then do they wait to process the charge until the item is in stock or does it get charged right away?
                If they wait does it work when choosing paypal?

                  Tower bills when shipped, not when ordered. Needless to say I hope to get billed real soon :)

                  I used a credit card but I would guess that is regardless of payment method.

                    I met a guy yesterday while we were running and he said that he put one of these on order. FE is slowly catching on here and it's nice that traxxas will be an addition to the entry level boater.

                      They bill before shipping, and yes it works the same with paypal. & they will honor the coupon codes as well, no matter how long ago you ordered.

                            Tower changed their stock status from "Late July" to "Late August". I canceled my order and am going to put the money elsewhere. Here in Michigan, Late August is almost closing time for boat season, and I wouldnt be surpised if "Late August" turned into "Late September". With such a late release date, I'll just buy one next year if I still want one.
