This year we’ll see the birth of the Fastest Brushless Car out of the box: the Traxxas XO-1 supercar. The powerhouse that will drive this RC car faster than another is a mamba monster on steroids and 6 lipo cells which come with the car. So all you’re needing is an iPod touch or iPhone [...]
Manufacturers are following Traxxas’ lead as the list of Waterproof RC trucks continues to grow. The latest edition to the list is of waterproof RC’s is the Duratrax Evader Brushless 2.4GHz RTR.
After having a lot of success with my single vxl Summit last year, I decided to try making a dual vxl Summit. Setting up a twin vxl summit is pretty easy. You just use two VXL systems and reverse the white blue wires on one of the motors:
I’ve been able to play around with the Super Turbo 800 and the Watt’s Up Meter and discover some interesting findings. When I first got the scooter I wasn’t really sure what mode was turbo and what mode was economy. After hooking up the meter I got a much better idea of the differences between [...]
I love the Super turbo 1000-Lithium! As an electric RC enthusiast I always laugh when people ask if my cars are gas powered. I always think, “No, they’re better than gas powered.” The same level of quality has come to electric scooters and a great example is the Super turbo 1000-Lithium.
This winter I’ve been experimenting using a Single VXL system designed for use in 1/10 scale vehicles to see how it performs in monster trucks. I’ve done a lot of different gearing and I’ve found that if it’s cold enough the 1/10 scale Traxxas VXL motor does just fine! The Gearing that works best I’ve [...]
Savage Flux Standing Backflips E-Revo Standing Backflips With brushless power, it’s easy for most RC trucks to do standing backflips. The E-Revo and Flux are just a couple quick examples. Lipo power helps as it keeps the truck light and delivers the highest burst voltage. It doesn’t have to be expensive either to get a [...]
Wondering how you can get the Traxxas Titan shipped to you right after it’s released for just $309.99? It’s easy, and since the release keeps getting pushed back it means you have plenty of time to go through the process. All you’ve got to do is sign up to be a Tower Hobbies club Member. [...]
Evolution of the Traxxas Titan The Traxxas Titan Boat is now the Traxxas Spartan. It is due out in November and will be one of the biggest leaps in electric RC since the electronic speed control. People have been using brushless motors like the Mamba Monster to get the 6 lipo cell power they wanted. [...]
I broke down this week and decided that for my Emaxx truck I would just use a single VXL system. So I got a VXL system just for the EMAXX and a 14 tooth pinion, hoping that will allow me to go as fast as I’ll want in the snow without overheating anything. Here it [...]
