Traxxas is killing it! Can a brother get an Amen from the congregation?!
I love my Bronco, despite the fact that it's a Ford, but ever since I got it I wanted another TRX-4 to build as a stripped down performance model with a smaller body.
Then Traxxas came the Sport RTR. Sweet! That's what I want to build so I'll get one of those. Hold up! Wait a second. Let me... Sorry I saw bright lights and I got distracted. Then came the TRX-4 Sport Unassembled Kit. OMG! A second kit from Traxxas!!! It's what I want without the electronics that I don't! When can I preorder?! But then...
Traxxas showed the "OMG so awesome!!!!!!!!1" Chevy Blazer body. Being born with The Heartbeat of America in my blood I love my Chevys. But, alas, I already have big bodied, scale TRX-4 so I'm getting the Sport Kit despite the temptation. I pre-ordered it from RPP today as soon as I got the stock notification email.
My hope is to build a TRX-4 that smokes my other rigs, including my brass out the ass Ascender and stock SCX10 II.
I'm starting with a Holmes 1800kv Revolver. I've always wanted to try one of those noise makers. The ESC will be a Mamba X so I can go sensored in the future and because I love the Auxiliary Wire so much. The Traxxas transmitter and Bluetooth Link are very tempting just because of the new Inclination meters on the Link app. Such an awesome test and tuning tool!
I'm not sure about the servo. I run my servos on 6.0V so I don't need an external BEC. The Promodeler 470 is kinda weak on 6.0V with "only" 350 oz-in. I could go to my default Savox 1231, but I'm kinda sick of the Savox buzz. Thoughts?
Not mines, but a look what's to come.
