Tug Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 What does this tell you; the Zippy 8400 is £45, but the Nano-tech 8400 is only £20! Which brand has the better rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 This is a lively thread, with lots of speculative discussion and general excitement about a truck which could end up being a pile of excrement... Just saying... Just planning a couple of models to use with the plethora of 3s LiPos that will be in the FS section soon! LOLI don't think there will be a issue, apparently everything Traxxas make is based on the slash the slash is a good solid basher so following my scientific reasoning the x-max is just a big slash so things will be perfect!!

They've slashed the price of the packs since I ordered last night.... That really, really sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm onto 'Joram' on live chat, airing my grievance. I expect no change in circumstances financially, they need to know why I'm grumpy Noj! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 A victim of their marketing, ergo no goodwill gesture of store credit for paying double the price per pack.Should have listened to Tuggles..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Reckon the self-righting is limited to the TRX tx/rx? I'm assuming most users will stick their own radio gear in but it uses the "set" button... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm guessing it's gyro and if it has the Traxxas version of AVC its probably using the same gyro as used on that. Just a guess but would make some sense. Could probably make one yourself these days but the strain on the drive train would give me some concern.

turok007 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 i wonder if the srimech works for a few seconds only once the button is pressed. or auto stops once the truck is upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Would you usually right an upturned truck by spinning up the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Where was that? I passed a bill board last weekend when heading to Norwich. It was advertising a model show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead28 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 When I saw the self righting for the first time the thought "I wonder if that is hard on the drive train" sprang to mind.Personally unless the truck was a long way away I would just go and turn it over myself.

Which brand has the better rep? i paid £28 for the Zippy the other day, so it tells you naff all. lipos are lipos. I genuinely believe that. The difference is marketing and profit.

turok007 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This is for the 1/5th owners. From what you know what sort of run times are you thinking on this truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'd expect 8400mah to give 25-30mins max, maybe twenty minutes of hard, max throttle bashing.Basing that on 7s, 8000mah and 780kv in a much heavier rig. Could be a conservative guess....So many questions!!! Come on ship with container full of joy, get docked and unloaded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead28 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have had a few Traxxas cars and have never had any real problems but what does surprise me is the amount of interest in this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
