Traxxas Titan

[johnf]

I have a couple helis. This thread is about the Traxxas Titan. Cant wait to see what you guy's do when you get them. Who's gonna be the first to hop it up????

I just can't wait to get one. I'm hoping its gonna be good stock on 4 or 5s. Plan on making it the wife's boat.

.....Neu 1527 1500kv..... Octura x445..... Castle Hydra 180hv..... 5mm collet.. and new drive shaft..

70mph?....

Thats funny.. I'd do it..

Possibly in the high 50's, maybe low 60's...............an X642 might be a little better even.

I bought my wife a Pro Boat Apache 24 to work as the "retriever" boat - she would smash the Titan into the lakeside if I let her drive something that fast!! Heck, I may end up doing the same thing, but will try like heck to keep it water bound!!

Looks to be an amazing boat, though - I fell in love w/ it the moment I saw it, and have a red one ordered through Tower for my birthday. 6S all the way!!

I'm honestly amazed that a 540XL can push a 37" mono to 50................. I'm waiting anxiously to see what our first lucky member records as a top speed.

Wonder if the "50" Traxxas claims means 46-47 or 53-54..................big difference there.

haha! Definitely planning to start on 4s here! If it runs decent on that, it is probably what I will stick with. Don't want her smashing it into anything. Just looking for a reliable 35ish mph boat for her.

Hitting 50 isn't a big deal to me with this boat, but if their land based RC claims are any indication, it should be capable.

I would be quite surprised if the Titan can't push past 50.m.p.h, as Traxxas' name would take some SERIOUS heat if it didn't, and I highly doubt they would want that at all - who would?

I think it will do just above 50m.p.h., and I'm sure there will be a crazy amount of people testing it and verifying it - too many toys to check such specs these days!

All I know, it will be fast enough for me, and I won't need a GPS unit reading "50.3m.p.h." to tell me I'm having fun.

My thoughts exactly..................folks get too caught up in speed...............i run as a sport boater.................fun is the key ingredient for me!!

Lmao! Funny you say that! My birthday is at the end of the month. It's been a good excuse for me to pick up a few boats. This one will be hers. I'm picking up a proboat geico cat for myself. Hope they are out this month. Will make for a fun bday weekend.

I still havent gotten my birthday present from last march!! My wife was kind enough to give me a 200 dollar gift certificate to tower hobbies, and I'm still waiting for them to receive the new Venom P-1 mono.(hopefully late july) My wifes birthday is in July, Hmmmm..... I think she might like a Titan too!!

[johnf]

Nice! Yeah get one for HER.

[kevakov]

that removeable center section with the motor , esc, and rudder servo would be great for riggers!!!

nope not on a 642. the 1527 1.5d is the 1500kv motor that nate mentioned. that motor is capable of turning some very large props 47mm plus easily.
