sean-vrs Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 thinking of getting one, apparently they have a mamba monster esc with traxxas software that you can over-write then its good for 6sany body got one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 A huge failure, sold so few units it has been discontinued for some time.Minter on the bay for £225 or best offer, came with a 3150kv can, iirc.Interesting choice...chassis space is tight, may make fitting a better can tricky....

Tug Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's actually a shame it failed, Traxxas put a lot of effort into the timing gear that was available separately. Trouble is, you have to have mates with the same thing in order to properly drag race them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 For that price it's a steal really, if you don't like it or wreck it, then selling the electrics and radio gear would make back most of your money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman5 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you want it for a serious speed car then i would strongly avoid it.If you want it just for a bit of fun then go for it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pieman5 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Bringing it to our surface at rossa and hoping to get decent speed from it lolIf you are considering the funny car and X-01 id 100% go for the X-01 but replace all of the stock leccys apart from the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pieman5 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Yes that is serious and sounds pretty good, but trust me the funny car won't work on our surface, its too bumpy and has loose stones all over it.I dont want to put you off coming though as its loads of fun, so bring a funny car if you must, could prove me wrong.

turok007 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) the funny car is just another traxxas idea like the xo1 but it failed. but as the price has dropped so much it is sort of worth it for a bit of fun. just as long as you have some very flat surface to run it on.or are you thinking of doing this Edited October 22, 2015 by turok007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called the ET-3S and is limited to 3s and has no on/off switch and also the caps are on outside. Apparently it can be 'unlocked' to run 6s but not sure if caps need upgrading. They used to be fiarly cheap from the U.S until people sussed out what it was. Edited October 22, 2015 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Just a bit of banter, I'm still confused as to why it didn't go faster! On the plus side, a Baja doing 62 must've still looked mighty impressive?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
