I'm gonna assume that is a good thing. There is a TON of knowledge on this forum. I'm hoping their presence here will be reflected in the final, hopefully successful, product. It would be nice if they would add to the conversation. I'm curious to know what "bug" was found.

Lots of good back & forth w/ valid claims on both sides. As for me, I don't mind waiting for a good RTR boat, and I don't believe Traxxas will release anything less than in terms of quality, as I have owned several of their items in the past, and have been quite impressed. Were they, or are they, the best? No, but they're close, and I think the Titan will be a real performer, no matter what.
I'll have a friend radar my boat (simply for fun, and to say I did), but I sure won't be picking up a phone to dial Traxxas support if the boat doesn't do 50 m.p.h. - I'm blessed to be able to afford and enjoy a hobby like this, and there are much bigger things for me to fret over.
Of course, this is just me. :) I'm as anxious as anyone and want to get this thing in the water on 6S, but till that happens, I'll keep smiling! ;-)God bless - "Rare Bear"

That's a good one! But, I think UPS could pull off 60 m.p.h. or better!
On a more serious note, I think Traxxas would really be shooting themselves in the foot if this boat didn't nudge 50 m.p.h. - it sure "looked" like 50 m.p.h. in the videos, and I'm thinking it should get it done. Of course, this is based on the video.
That being said, too many people own radar guns & GPS units, amongst other things, so I would think Traxxas would be quite sure of its capability before release, even though past vehicles (Villain) were a bit overstated.
We'll just have to wait & see! The boats will show up at some point, and you know everyone will be heading to the local pond/lake w/ their GPS in hand!!!God bless - "Rare Bear"

I dont mean to hijack the thread, but since we have a month or two to kill, wanna play How Fast Is That Boat? Here, do you think this would compete with a Titan. It did have a GPS in it :)

I respect that descision. That is the high road in my opinion.
I definitely dont have a problem with "information" being released, and wouldnt choose to be left in the dark as someone said. However, taking preorders under the assumption of a false delivery date is a lot different.
Yes, I do beleive Traxxas has intentionally omitted information in regards to the release of this boat for their own personal gain. If they told everyone a month or two ago that this boat wouldnt be out until September or later they would lose a lot of orders and potential customers would purchase competetors boats instead of the titan. I'm not saying it's not expected either, just not appreciated.Comment

I'll play
Trying to picture that compared to my little 24" mono which runs a solid 36 and looks slower, so I will take 43mphComment

I hope they get this right this time. I have raced RC Cars for over 20 yrs and not a single Traxxas Car has gone as fast as they say with out dumping a ton of money into it and if you could get it up to speed most of the time it would self destruct. With the exception of the Slash in stock trim. They all fall apart thats why Losi, HPI, Associated all came out with there trucks to run in a modified class. Reliability at those speeds you can't get with a Traxxas it just isn't there.2 SV 27's and Vac-U-Pickle UL-1 Power

I dunno but my infatuation with this thing wore off quickly. At first I was all geeked for it, but now I'm like, "I'm not spending $400 on a plastic boat even if its a "plastic you've never saw before""
The more I think about it the less impressed I am with it....but thats just me.Comment

You guys are good... That run was 41MPH on a 6S 2200kv with a Y535. Certainly not the most I ever got out of it, but 50 is a big number. On the other hand, I'm kinda new at this so who knows, maybe traxxas can nail it. In any case, I'm looking for a turnkey vee so I'm still looking forward to the titan.Comment
