Traxxas Titan

[oscarel]

Well that dude was told this by a Traxxas rep

I've seen it running on lipo and I'd say it was doing at least 50. I was told it hit 54 on GPS but I didn't see it. 2 weeks ago I saw it running again and it had a different controller in it, a Mamba from Castle. I doubt it will run 20 mins though unless it's less than 1/2 speed for that time.

Why was the controller changed?

I don't doubt the speed, but it will take more than 12amps to get to that speed
do you know why they changed the speedo?

I was told they were trying others to make sure there's was the best for production. They also have their own props cause they were shredding the ones they originally used. I've also had a problem shredding Graupner props so I'd believe that statement.

If anyone is close to the Dallas area, they run it at McKinney Lake Park.

carbon filled props, on a 6s 36" mono? No thank you on that one. If they were still in testing 2 weeks ago, we may not see this boat for some time yet.

Who knows, but he did say Nov. 15 which I believe is what Traxxas has advertised.

I also put in a plug for the wire drives that Jeff sells, I showed him the one I have in my sprint cat.

Sorry, I changed my post since I really don't know if they were carbon, it's for sure not metal.

Sorry I didn't realize I was the only one that actually saw this thing there.

I don't know It just felt really cheap. The hull felt a little thicker than your average ABS boat, but it still didn't feel very strong. Also the one they had there was quite heavy.

I dunno. Before I saw it I wasn't in the mood to blow $400 on a plastic boat and nothing about seeing changed my mind. Also the name is beyond gay...I thought titan was dumb...but spartan is even more horrible. Who is picking names? Some silly chinaman?

They pushed it to mid December availability on the Traxxas site.

They got in over their heads with the claims. That is all.
