Traxxas Mono!

[Raydee]

IF it was the hydra ICE controller under the hatch that would explain why they wouldn't show it in the vid.

[Brushless55]

they are punks for not showing us

Put a nice motor in a Bleach bottle and its still a Bleach bottle.

[Doby]

And Ray,,,you are basing your comment on what insider information you have and the rest of the world doesn't?

[Brushless55]

don't buy it...
hey if this bottle can do 50mph then heck ya!
traxxas stands behind what they sell, and they sell more rtr than anyone else, so it should be good

[Hydromaniac]

I am in no way a sport runner in my eyes I'd rather watch paint dry then just sport run, If traxxas is not Trying to go after racers market why does nearly every product they sell claim to be "RACE READY" I guess it would be your problem if its not going to fit somewhere, IMO I think they would have expanded their market with a good RTR that fit within a class that it could be competative in, was my point. But it still looks like a nice hull.

Is it ABS or Glass? Looks to be ABS.

Wow! Gonna have to open a Traxxas section in the forum now. I'm bettin a new traxxas motor/esc combo. I would think a castle motor/speed control would put this model well over 400-bucks! I might have to cancel my order for the ekos P-1 from tower. This one will probably be out before the P-1 anyway!

[Brushless55]

Who cares imo if this fits a race class....
Only just a few who buy Traxxas actually race, and this sucker will sell great..
I for one will buy it and have lots of fun out at the lake..
We don't need to be in a race class to have fun

Agreed..
It would be sweet if they could for that price though

I never said you were gonna race this particular boat.

I do agree that they should have built a boat that is a class legal boat in the more popular 4s classes. Like the UL1 its a great sport boat and also very capable race boat.

GOOD IN THEORY, Right up to the start gun!!

[Brushless55]

GOOD IN THEORY, Right up to the start gun!!::

Should be that way all day long at the lake!
if people are idiots right after the start, they should find something else to do and get a life
big reason why some choose not to race, is because of the idots who take it to serious and ruin it for everyone

their market is for a lot of people and not taylored to just the race crowed..
It would be cool thought if it did fit in a class we have already, but then again Traxxas created many race classes we have today with their trucks
who knows, if a lot of people buy them and I know they will, clubs could easily start a new class for this hull
cheap way to get into racing with this size of hull

[BakedMopar]

Sorry but I don't buy that I don't race to win. It's like playing sports and not keeping score.

My two pennies worth!

[Hydromaniac]

If you look at History you may see my point, AQ announced the UL-1 Built to NAMBA P- Class race specs, Then before it was released they put it in to Brian Buuas Hands, BTW he is a racer, He tested and pushed it, and allowed what he found that could be done with one to be known, It's now it one of the most sold and raced boats, IMO if you think sport runners are not watching and buying what is being raced you're making a mistake. And the Man who designed it is also a NAMBA racer.

Who said this boat was not race worthy but you....?

And this hull could do very well!

[Jeepers]

I am racer and a sport runner when I am not racing and running my boats I call it test and tune

[Jeepers]

And this hull could do very well!

yes it could but its a Q class boat in size there is not a single Q class mono in our club at all. and probably very few in other clubs to.

[Hydromaniac]

And this hull could do very well!

A 36 inch hull is a Q and up boat, They state 50 MPH on a 6s set up which is Q, power Sorry but 50 is not goin to cut it in Q,S&T classes. The Hull looks great and I agree, it looks like a nice boat. But to make this RTR hull raceable there are other hulls that could be just as nice for less money in the long run.

[ENCORE MAN]

I am happy to see such a large company ditch its geared running system and deplorable steerable outdrive system. With the continual high winds experienced in Florida for the past 6 months, the size of this direct drive boat will make it a great club boat available at a reasonable price with parts and warranty guaranteed. The hull might not be state of the art but should handle a rough chop AND provide many hours of high quality entertainment. What else matters? Thanks for your time. BG

[Doby]

Glad to see all the "experts" condemming the performance of the boat already....they must have had advanced trial runs with it to make theses statements.

I race with some experts up here on occasion and quite often their boats are pushed to hard and end up on their backs....fastest does not always win the race....but I guess that thought never occured to anyone.

Oh well......

[Rumdog]

Wow, It'a friggin rtr. Not a purpose built race machine. Don't buy it if you dont like it. Trust me, Traxxas knows how to market their product, and the WILL sell a TON. Guess what, they'll stock replacement parts and give excellent customer service as well!
