A lot... we buy directly from Infineon, and still can't get enough.

Looks like we used about 420K last month.

I have a few clients who might be able to help. Send me an e-mail (lbatista@bluecomponents.net) with your target price.

I just can't stop thinking about that stupid limiter

There are plenty of Traxxas RCs that are capable of insane speeds, and none of them handle like this new car should (can't say for sure as I've never driven one). I had a 3.3 4-Tec and that thing handled like a brick and the brakes felt like they were made out of cheese. VXL Rustlers will do over 70 MPH with gears and a 3s lipo, and Rustlers are very twitchy at speed unless you put some work into them. Brushless E-Maxxes are just a horrible accident waiting to happen, but again you have to buy batteries and change gearing in order to "unlock" them. The only one I've mentioned that didn't need "unlocked" by upgrading batteries and/or gearing is the 4-Tec, which has been around for ages and keeps getting more and more power but how many terrible accidents do you hear about with those?

So my idea is this: eliminate the limiter and package the car with 4s rather than 6s. You will have to buy bigger packs to get the maximum speed as with all their other electric trucks, but the average idiot is more likely to drive it on 4s at least until their new packs come in and they will have a better feel for it than someone that drops a bunch of money on a car and pulls the trigger. If it'll do 100 on 6s then it should still do 50-60 on 4s, right? That's fast/slow enough they wouldn't really even need to touch the gearing. Surely my insignificant opinion won't mean a damn thing but hey, at least nobody is forcing me to buy one

Amen!
