Traxxas has obviously been serious on the R&D front this past year. Looks like a nice model to me. I know several locals who drag and am looking forward to their feedback.

Looks like a fun toy to have. Obviously not the fastest dragster out there, but surely cheap enough to get into it.

All joking aside, kudos to traxxas! They not only just came out with a pretty cool looking brand new vehicle, they also made competition easy with the timing system.

I imagine parking lot drag strips all across america! That, my r/c friends, would be pretty damn cool!:yes:

yes it will be. I would be able to setup the drag strip at my LHS again, until it gets way too hot.

Im buying one for a 2650 on 4s if possible.

2650 might be too much weight and hinder with the acceleration from too much torque. You could go with a cheaper Losi version of the stock motor, which is about 2800kv/5mm shaft and around 60bucks(I have one). You gain some rpm and and keep the same weight. But this is just thinking out loud as I don't have a roller yet. I am weary about that 1/8 shaft motor and having no clutch.

I can't say that i'm not intrigued, but why a dragster? Traxxas could build a ST, using the Jato platform and still get 70 out of it. I understand the reason, they now sponsor NHRA and John Force racing.

Gripes aside, It's nice to see a company that is thriving in this economy. Too bad they out-scource everything but distribution

Set the torque control?!?!?!@?!?!


Wait a second, has Traxxas finally decided to actually take advantage of Castle Link Live?


They teased us with the XO-1, then said they weren't pursuing CLL....

$490 at Amain
$499 at Tower

Check out the RC Car Action video. Pretty neat stuff in the car!!

See link below!!

I was thinking $350 would be reasonable. Its a fricken plastic chassis:oops:

nitrostarter's linky was bad....
