QRC Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Was really tempted, but ended up with a Proboat Blackjack 29 care of Turok on here. As normal you are paying for the branding of Traxxas, but it's still good boat. Just don't watch Roman Atwood vlog when they were on holiday, Traxxas use him and family for product placement, they managed to sink one. !!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 They do actually look good, I've been in a bit of turmoil over what boat to buy next myself, although it doesn't seem to be a major problem, I'd still be dubious of Traxxas electrics, especially running on 6s, which most people seem to agree it needs. As great as it looks, that did put me off. FYI; I'm not just Traxxas 'bashing' but we have to admit, they can be hit and miss and marine stuff does tend to have a very hard time of it, as I found out first hand when my motor hit 86C after 30 seconds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, I really enjoyed running my Backslash, I think my Xmaxx comments made people assume I just hate Traxxas generally lol, it's not true. I'd like to hear your honest thoughts on running it if you do eventually get it. I know you won't jazz it up and it's still on my radar.. Especially since our local quarry is a no go now, we'll likely be spending more time at the lake and whatnot so a bigger boat is needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
