100mph Traxxas XO-1 car!

[Brushless55]

I am tempted to buy this sucker....

[Rumdog]

I'd prob go the same route as Ray really. Im not into road cars much. I live in the woods, so trucks, trugs, and buggies for me!

[tomstoys2]

bro take a look around, Spektrum has this for a while now..
they just don't market like traxxas
and I'll take a bet that what traxxas is using comes from Spektrum...

Touché my friend, looks like I need to get out more often.

I think its nothing but bad news, you know some parent out there will buy it for their kid as a first r/c car. I can see it mostly being driven up and down the street, it it was to hit someone or some thing it could cause lots of damage, I mean even driving in the open, on small rock or anything and that thing is out of control leaving you with a big parts bill. Better yet get 2 of them together.

At a grand for the car I doubt it will be some kids first rc car...

[Rumdog]

Everyone's such a freaking downer lately. Why drone over would / could happen? Looks like great fun to me. There are far more dangerous hibbies for young kids to get into than R/C.

I think 100mph would probably take off your feet at the ankles. I hit myself with my rs4 right after it had shifted to second and it left a nice little mark

[Brushless55]

I kinda like it minus all the marketing bogus and the Apple thing..
maybe new radio and esc....
I hear it's 50mph off its mark without the I-phone and app

10lb 100mph missle!

[Rumdog]

Ok.. How bout planes and helis? Much more dangerous IMO.

[roadrashracing]

take a read though the manual, out of the box it will do 50 but you must have ipod touch or iphone plus purchase the app and then change a bunch of stuff to get it ready

[Rumdog]

Sounds good to me!

Oh definitely. My heli could easily kill a person. I fly at the ball fields and make anyone else stay in the dugout or behind the backstop. Planes will just maim you nicely. Although I hit my wife with my park flyer and all it did was piss her off.

Lets just hope its not another spartan, 3 times to make it right

[FighterCat57]

Very cool technological advancement. Great way to save the development and production cost on a display by using another device display. But it also now limits market to the iPhone / iPod alliance.

Realtime ESC stats on a wireless device... Hmmm. BRB.. lol.



The 1515 will take a Revo to 90+ with a Mamba, so not doubt about the 100mph claim with a 1717.

what's the changes needed?

[roadrashracing]

changer gearing , change front splitter, do all the programing

[Rumdog]

That's called being a hobbyist.

[Brushless55]

Thwe splitter is cool, and ide probably run that all the time...

[Jeepers]

wow that's cool!!

I think the telemetry is oddly placed... I won't be looking at my the bottom of my transmitter driving a 100mph car.

that much money would go a long way in a nice boat.

[Diesel6401]

This does have a benefit to boaters, the motor being a CC1717 may mean some sort of availibilty for the motor again. One would imagine that spare motors for this thing would be needed. Slightly higher kv and a slick all black caseing. With the increased kv, could make a nice 5s2p setup in something in the 33"-39" range. Jmho.

The CC1717 is redone they say..
Faster spool up and a bit higher kv

Damnit now im going to need a new boat to try one in...

A DF33 could be a hot one for it!!

[roadrashracing]

After my spartan I will not go back to traxxas

You record and playback the telemetry silly

[dana]

That's kinda stupid. I've read enough of your threads to know of you having problems with everything you touch, so why be prejudice?

[srislash]

it's got a new CC1717 1650 kv motor running 6s

That was my first thought when I looked up the specs.Cool
