What, that Traxxas setup? Although my interest has been sparked by Traxxas' venture into the brushless market, I am a bit skeptical. I mean, they claim 70 mph on 3S lipo. Come on. I'm sure that they were able to make the system do it, but they're using a huge pinion. The 70 mph setup cannot be anything that you'd want to run for more than a couple of speed passes. Something's gotta get hot.

I do know that the MM systems have been around for awhile and I know them to be fast. VERY fast. If you take a 4600 system and run that on 4S lipo, I'd venture a guess and say that it will out do anything that the VXL system will do.

Of course, I could be wrong. No one's run a VXL system yet.
