Traxxas Mono!

[Steven Vaccaro]

Close but, not 50MPH, change motor to a Turnigy 4030HK 1100KV on 6S and pretty close for another $35.

Ray that boat needs to be totally gutted. All the wood stuff inside breaks off easily. Its the main reason I will not be selling those hulls. I would spend far more time on customer support on those, then I want to.

Interesting post by the way. I now know why a Traxxas customer was buying carbon props and flex cables from me over the last couple of months.

Well, what size props did they buy?

Ok, so you give traxxas the markup money and they pay $200 to someone in china to make them. Your choice. I just like to get the most for my $$$.
For $200 you can't have 50mph but you can get there for a little $ in hop-ups
Also the traxxas is a 30mph boat, by their claims, that can be pushed to its limits running 6s.

I do understand their market, dude walks in the hobbyshop with a cooked SV and sees '50mph' in bold fancy letters and "ONLY $399" next to that, then, BAM! sold! His dream of having a fast boat have come true.

I"m ready to pre-order, plain and simple. Also , I could give a crap less what class it may or may not fit into as long as it fits into the back of my truck and in the pond.

That's 30mph with the included 7cell packs... A true RTR!
6s = 50mph
but should we call Traxxas liers because the ERevo does not go 60mph like they claim but actually will run 80mph stock with a different spur and pinion gear and not blow up?

O.k., then would you sell me your hull ?

I can admit I'm wrong but, $400 for ABS is funky in my books.

It will be a fine boat, the Traxxas, that is...

Well I don't think the pushing it to it's limits is true.... I've ran my erevo on 6s everyday all day since I bought it.... Can't kill it.... Everytime I want to impress someone with how far r/c has come I take it out of my trunk and "rip" it... I took it out at a bonfire party at my buddies house last weekend.... Had every person there asking questions..... The only thing I've ever broke on it is stripped out the axles and they are a cheap and easy fix.... If this boat is like their cars/trucks it will hardly be pushing it to it's limits... I can only bet those talking down on traxxas haven't owned one of their recent products.... And don't come back telling me you had a 1993 sledgehammer as that's not what I'm talking about... Lol.

I agree about being able to beat the snot out of a Revo, and it keeps coming back for more..
the only thing that breaks on mine are the axles, and they don't just break, they twist apart!

Get yourself a set of cvd's and that prob. is gone! $400 seems like a great deal to me on this boat! I'm sure it'll have 2.4ghz radio too! Trust me, a glass hull will break just as easily as abs if T-boned! ABS hulls can be SUPER strong!

[JMSCARD]

Yeah I did but I bent a cvd.... Actually two of em.... Went back to the stock axles... They're cheap and easy to replace:) but rumdog you are right alot of tomes cvd's are great.... I think my suspension, long arm, over extended them or something? Not sure.....

It does have the new Traxxas 2.4g radio
