turok007 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 the way the spur shaft fits into the rear diff area. the way the rear is bolted the main chassis is poor so the 2 main parts move around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 So why would I want this over an electric FG MT? I can add a gyro to that to get the controller aids and I can use my foot mk1 to flip it back over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turok007 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) So why would I want this over an electric FG MT? I can add a gyro to that to get the controller aids and I can use my foot mk1 to flip it back over.from the video it looks like it flips over by hitting forwards and reverse loads of time but it is done with one button. so not good for the motor or transmission.

I'm guessing here but I would imagine the Fg is quite a bit heavier and will be more exspensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Definitely liking this, more so after having a look at this link http://www.rccaraction.com/blog/2015/10/30/rc-car-action-exclusive-traxxas-announces-all-new-x-maxx-and-we-drive-it/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 It's about three times the size of the Pede, and twice the size of the Maxx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Wonder what a Traxxas diff looks like alongside an FG one - it does look a bit on the smaller side .......... Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I with you on this - loving it ... there is that 'but' somewhere .... let's hope it's wrong.FG diffs look at least 20% bigger!!Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 WOW!! that puts it into perspective. Itll be £799 here but looks worth it. Although surely 8s would be the norm for this sorta scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 A new design from Traxxas? Wow. just wow. It could be a dog but no doubt will still sell bucket loads across the pond. I wondered about the self righting, agreed it's likely to be hard on the drivetrain - good job that's a part Traxxas are well known to make bullet proof to start with... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 What about wheels? I take it those aren't 3.8" wheels so if it's 1/6 its surely a bit of a niche market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I HAVE to get me one of these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
