Traxxas 1/8th Dragster !
 

does it come with the girl?
Wonder if it's based on the revo chassis or if they actually made a new chassis for this vehicle. And if they made a new chassis, how many "new" vehicles will come out with the same chassis!?
The timing system is cool though.

stretched rustler....

The remote controlled girl isn't available until next year... save your $ :lol:

And you need an ipod to unlock her features:lol:

It's a Traxxas...enough said! :no:

am i the only one who knows it April fools day?

That actually looks pretty cool, interesting.

Castle MM Pro by the looks of it.

It only turns left out of the box. You need an ipod and have to sell your soul to traxxas to unlock the right turn feature.

This isn't a Nascar it's a drag car. Who needs steering when your just going straight.

Looks pretty good! The motor looks to be a Castle 2400kv like the short course.

The transmission/diff combo looks pretty neat too. I think Traxxas brought out some new tech for this one.

Indeed, the whole thing is a brand new model with no recycled parts essentially- makes me wonder how it would do against all the home-brew dragracing setups out there...

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....
