Seems to me all that Traxxas and HPI care about is what ridiculous number they can put on their boxes next to the mph. I am just over it. I can easily buy a better motor, better ESC and more powerful lipos to make my car go quick. What I need is a car that isn't going to fall apart or have it's drivetrain turn to dust. A car that is soundly engineered and even maybe a little over-engineered. Using Revo diffs was such a stupid call. They struggled in my E-Revo on 4S. Myfriend has even managed to destroy couple in his Slash 4x4. Now I know that was off road truck but the XO-1 will have a 1717 motor and running 6S. I see many people destroying a diff before they get through the first few days of owning this car.
