    Every contractor needs one of these

    Traxxas - XO-1 (#6407) - Overview | traxxas.com

    100mph radio controlled cars. Whatever next.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      What is your point?

      The traxxas radios are a bit cheap compared to Futaba or Spektrum but the models themselves are pretty good.

        Impressive technology for a toy. How about scaling it up so I can use it on the Autobahn?

        The steering wheel on the fiat started shaking yesterday but then I was sitting at 112mph.

          A subject close to my heart....however 100mph for a RTR is impressive....but I wonder how they charge a 6s Lipo? Best mine can do is 3s, but I only race 2s anyway and as I race circuit that sort of top speed is undrivable.. if I get 60mph that's plenty fast enough at national / international level...

            Brushless electric to.

            When I was a kid I wanted a nitro fueled car as they were a bit quicker, not any more and none of the mess.

              It uses 2 3S packs in series i think. You can get 6S chargers and packs though, the bigger helicopters use them. Not sure what the 1/8th scale ones use.

              I'm more inteested in the off road ones tbh. I used to race buggies when I was a kid but I don't know if my trusty optima mid is up to the modern power and for the cost of the upgrade I could have a monster truck that'll hit 60mph. Ideal for the park.
