I have a Rustler and it's certainly a joke at the track. It's just weak. The e-revo is serious equipment, but if you get it up to those speeds, the tires are ballooning up like Pamela Anderson's boobs. That's outta control. The car I mean. I know a big honkin 1600kv 6S is going to twist some water - but will the composite prop hold up? Will the ABS hull be real rigid or durable? Will I live with a 2056 servo very long? I don't think so. Don't get me wrong, I'm in line to buy one right now. I just don't think it's going to do 50 well and do 50 reliably. Hopefully it will though. I think I'll like it no matter what.

Nothing comes out of the box race ready... my erevo has AKA Truggy wheels/tires, is slammed down, etc., and handles very well.... you are right as far as the rustler goes... its not a race stadium truck.... its for fun, but for that its very durable, and easy to maintain...... all of traxxas models seem to me to be reliable..... in fact the only things that I ever seem to break is driveshafts and I wear down the body mounts from skidding on its "lid"..... lol.... and by golly I LIKE Pamela Andersons boobs so don't try and hurt my feeling with tires ballooning like those!!!Comment

Yes traxxas has made some fast RCs and I agree with JMSCARD on the durability claim. My rustler vxl took A LOT more abuse than my rc10gt or speed t ever did without breaking...Lets hope the 50mph setup from the Titan isn't like the 70 mph setup from the rustler though. If I run my boat for a couple passes and the motor/esc is 200 degrees I wont be happy.
If it went 50mph "well and reliably" like someone stated, it would be the best deal in RC boating...ever.
I will be happy with "50mph capable" and a warranty on the electronics

I was doing some testing with a supervee 27 and was surprised at the performance I got out of it... 42MPH out of it. 1800 kv ammo motor, 4S lipo, grimracer 42 55 2-blade prop.
Previously I was only able to get 38MPH out of a stock UL-1 and 41MPH out of a highly modified Deltaforce 32/Neu1515 which made me think how hard it would be to hit 50. Apparently I've been doing it wrong! That supervee rocks. Maybe the titan will be a barnstormer. I'm still waiting for my order though. Ahhh. Anticipation!Comment

Any one else think this boat is the biggest piece of vapor ware ever?

hope they ship the ones up north with ice picks
or that's their plan, cold water should help the spedos from burning up

1.) Marketing. Hate to admit it but sales numbers are better when there's a managed launch and some hype. As bad as this is going for whatever the reason, I'd rather have the info than none at all.
2.) Production sh*t happens. Maybe they caught a problem before it hit the shelves?? Look at the grief Aquacraft got over leaky water jackets. And now proboat's new Miss Geico with a flex shaft recall. A delay is bad but a problem is worse.
Now if Darin Jordan or Chuck Norris worked at traxxas we wouldn't have any of these problems

Newbie here.
Got a Titan on preorder but at this rate I will most likely be using it on the ice. 
What type of lipo do I want to order for reliable long runs? It says 6S capable so does this mean I want to order 2x 5000mah 3s batterries since it needs 2 ? Thanks in advance.

So if I order 2x Turnigy Nano tech 3S 6000mah 25-50c and capable of 5c charge rate I should be good to go? Here is a link to the batteries I would be interested in. Any problems with my choice? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...~50C_Lipo_PackComment
