Traxxas Titan

[Diesel6401]

Looks awesome, I can't wait.

One question though and it may have been already answered in this thread I can't remember. But the motor is listed as a 540xl 1600kv, doesn't a 540xl can sound small for a 40" boat?

Man, that boat is quick..........

It better be on 6s lipo

I cancelled the pre-order on mine the other day. I think its cool and all, but I just had so many projects to begin with and I started thinking that 50 on 6S isn't really all that impressive. It is for a stock boat for sure, but my supercat goes 45 on 4s....

I hope it sells a ton and gets more people into boating :)

For Traxxas and this Boat the XL is just fine for what they are after

[Diesel6401]

I get what your saying, and it is a RTR so I get their marketing plan.

Traxxas 2.4 radios also. Or maybe these radios will be better than the Aquacraft 2.4.

Man...soon these disposable radios will cost a dime a dozen.

Yeah, I really wish they would start offering these RTR's without the radio gear or "bind and drive's". Maybe a chance to save a few bucks! Mostly everybody has plenty of RTR radios sitting in their basement already.

Well them maybe a couple of these in parallel could be strapped into those nice long trays! Should fit real well

I actually just began switching all of my stuff over from my DX3R to the Traxxas 4ch 2.4 radio.

At first it was my boat stuff because I didn't want to risk dropping a $200+ radio into the water and I needed some more RX's and the Traxxas ones were much cheaper.

Haven't had any issues so far so I'm going to switch my cars over and then sell all of the Spektrum stuff for more boat parts :)
