4910 4WD Nitro T-Maxx RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 2 T-Maxxs for the boys (7&9) for Christmas. Assembly is simple. Run the antenna through the antenna tube and pin on the body. Truck comes with a DVD that walks you through the break in process. Takes a while but it is simple. The boys handled it with very little help from dad.
After the break in the trucks are ready to run and you can really appreciate the difference between a toy and a nitro powered hobby level truck. These things scream and are super fast. Don't bother unless you have a large open area to run it in.
The trucks seem to be well made and sturdy. We live by the coast so rust is a problem with almost everything but the T-Maxx is all aluminum and plastic so this should not be a problem. The range is obviously more than sufficient since I run them as far as I can see them and never lose control of the truck.
The package comes with a glow plug, nitro filler bottle and all the tools you need to make adjustments, change tires, replace plugs etc.
One of my boys ran his into a steel pole at full speed and damaged the front right suspension and shocks. I looked up the parts and they are all available cheap on EBay. Then I called Traxxas and asked if I should rebuild it myself or send it in and although they assured me the rebuild is simple and inexpensive I think I will let them handle it this time. They said we could just box it up and send it in and they will do the repair for a nominal fee.
Customer service from the repair department was great. I got a real person who was knowledgeable and friendly. That never happens these days.
It is nice to know that no matter what new and innovative methods my kids find to break these trucks, that every single component is easily replaceable and that the parts are inexpensive. There are also hundreds of upgrades out there. I have ordered a new body a roll cage and a wheelie bar as well as some replacement parts to have on hand.
We were a little nervous about getting 'grown-up' race trucks for the boys but having done so I could not be more pleased. These are awesome!
I will update with more on the customer service experience once we get the truck back.
Update
After speaking with the Traxxas repair department I decided to try to do the repair myself. Traxxas only makes the schematics available to dealers but I found some online through a different website and I used this to make a list of all the parts I needed. I ordered them online and when they arrived, my son and I put the truck back together in about an hour. To work on this truck you only need the tools that came with the truck and a #2 phillips screwdriver. In doing the repair I was amazed by how well built the truck is. Everything is built to tight tollerances and there was obviously much thought put into rebuilding the trucks. Every single piece is easily replaced even by a novice such as myself.
Now for my one and only gripe. Traxxas needs to put the schematics on the website. You have a product that is rebuildable but not easily rebuildable without instructions. I understand that you want to give your dealers an edge concerning repairs but the benefit to dealers in this instance does not outweigh the sacrifice created in the trade off by diminishing the overall experience of the end user.

Want to race your GST 7.7 on a track? Fill the diffs with silicone oil and start setting down some record laps. Maybe pulling wheelies and just straight drag racing is more your style. Replace the center diff gears with the included center lock and you can start pulling wheelies till your gallon of nitro is gone.The NX 7.7 features a revised recoil start assembly, a sharp looking black anodized heat sink cylinder head, and an updated crankshaft that allows for better airflow. What does this all mean for the GST 7.7?? This means increased power and increased reliability!With the NX7.7 engine, the large displacement offers brutal torque to pull those super high wheelies, climb the steepest hills, or just plain drag your buddy's weak 4.6cc powered monster truck around the backyard. But the fun doesn't stop there, not only does the GST 7.7 feature brute torque, thanks to the 3 speed transmission, the NX 7.7 engine can propel the GST up to an astounding 40mph!!! And with the GST 7.7’s reverse module, you could go 40mph in reverse or forward! The gargantuan 7.5 inch low profile tires with chrome wheels dwarf everything else out there. Along with the wheels, the truck's body has been pre painted in one of the best looking schemes to ever be included with a Ready to Rock truck

Traxxas Bandit RTR Buggy w/XL5 ESC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Specifics:
The Traxxas Bandit XL-5 is a popular 1/10 scale model remote control buggy capable of 35+ MPH speeds right out of the box. Traxxas is a leading RC manufacturer based in Plano Tx. The assembled buggy is about a foot long and weighs in at about 3 lbs. The Bandit buggy style has been around since 1995 and shares many parts with the Rustler. Currently there are 2 available new models, the 2405 as seen here and the 2407 also known as the Bandit VXL. Sticking with the 2407 as seen here, the buggy is on and off road capable in wet and dry conditions due to Traxxas engineers creating waterproof electronics. The Bandit XL-5 is rated for skill level 1 for ease of set-up, maintenance, and support. It's important to consider that it also has a "training" mode with reduced power to make learning to drive easier and fun at the same time (not to mention safer). Currently, new Traxxas Bandits come with everything needed to get up and running with the exception of 8AA batteries for the transmitter. Parts are readily available from hobby stores that carry the Traxxas brand and the internet.
The Driving:
Setting up is easy, basically charge the battery, plug it in, turn it on and your off.
The Bandit is fast, fun, and durable. It can handle almost any terrain from packed snow and asphalt to dirt and light mud. Plowed fields and forest floors are the only places that come to mind that may not work in the Bandits favor. Driving is easy and intuitive with the transmitter trigger and wheel control. Both throttle and steering is proportional, meaning turn a little and the wheels turn a little. Lefty's may find the right handed steering a little getting used to. With all the speed and power built into the Bandit it's good to know that they are also durable. Even with reasonable care I have flipped and tumbled the Bandit in the dirt, driven into fences, and jumped and landed various ways and the bandit keeps going, usually still on it's feet (or tires)(check youtube for videos). Currently the supplied battery pack will give you 10-20 minutes driving time per charge. This leads to purchasing faster chargers and more batteries which cost about $40 for a charger and between $20-$100 for a battery. A word on safety, at top speeds the 3 lb weight can hit something as hard as a hammer. The batteries produce 3000-8000 milli-amps, more than enough for very serious shocks, burns, and worse. Aftermarket Li-Po batteries have a whole host of cautionary statements. Drivers/owners/buyers should exercise appropriate caution.
Moving up:
Even your basic Bandit has a whole host of upgradable parts available, aluminum replacement pieces, tires, electronics and motors, even the gearing can be changed to better adapt to pavement or dirt. If your board with driving your Bandit around the neighborhood there are RC clubs that sponsor racing and other activities. It's a good overall experience for young and old alike.

(More customer reviews)I love this Rock Crawler, the only complaint i have is that the Truck came new out of the Box with the ESC dangling off the Truck I had to Re-stick it to the Mounting Plate.

I had to Email Integy about the ESC not working, it took 3 days for an Email response and i have to Mail my ESC to them in Califorinia from Peoria IL.

4510 Nitro Sport SE RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those of you who are looking to buy any type of nitro truck, let me tell you you need alot of patience. I own a traxxas nitro similar to this one and it is alot of fun but requires alot of time, patience, and accurate tunning to get it running. These trucks will also put a big dent in your wallet, nitro fuel costs over $30 dollars and you also have to buy glow plugs. Keep in mind this is a fun hobby, I my self am an rc fanatic, but if you are not willing to put in a lot of time and money into the truck, you may want to consider an electric one.

TAM58346 Grasshopper Electric Radio Control Race Buggy Kit by Tamiya. Based on 1-seater buggies seen tearing-up dirt tracks across the U.S. in the 80s, the Grasshopper first made its appearance in R/C stores in 1984. Boasting easy assembly and easy control, the lightweight Grasshopper proved an instant hit as the perfect entry level R/C kit. Also compatible with a whole range of option parts such as 540 motor and ball bearings, the Grasshopper was an entry level car that could keep up with the owners driving experience. Packed with all the fantastic features of the original kit, this fun 2WD buggy is a blast on both off-road and on-road tracks

The perfect combination of simple assembly and tough exterior is what made the Grasshopper so special. Durable plastic body is fastened to bathtub resin monocoque chassis by screws, creating a solid frame that can absorb any type of rough handling. Off-road tracks can be tackled with ease thanks to coil spring dampers, and independent swing axle front and rigid axle rear suspension. Diff loaded sealed gearbox keeps out the dirt and stones for smooth driving and cornering. Paddle style rear tires and grooved front tires combine with 3-piece assembly type wheels for excellent grip performance on dirt tracks. Half-body driver figure adds that finishing touch to a fun off-road R/C car

1/18 Mini-Rock Crawler RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was just having a blast with my AX-10 when Losi pulls this out of their hat!!
What a cool little crawler! It comes in four color choices, and has a motor/ESC combo that has more than enough ooomph to crawl over some serious ascents. Obviously, the MRC cannot tackle climbs it's larger brethren can, but it CAN climb some amazing things! I just let mine loose in the back yard, and climb anything and everything this little crawler can handle!
The Losi Mini Rock Crawler is a true RTR. You require nothing more than what's in the box to go crawling! Stuff some batteries in the transmitter (included), charge the included NiMh battery (charger also included), plug it in and GO! The battery is good for about 17-20 minutes of climbing. Plug in a similar sized LiPo battery and go LONGER!
Now THIS is the best beginner crawler I can recommend to anyone who wants to go crawling on a budget. Crawling for the masses! What a concept!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This addendum is placed as of 3/29/09:
I found a wonderful scale conversion that is not expensive, but allows for the mounting of a really detailed Jeep body on the chassis of the little MRC (Mini Rock Crawler).
First thing is the body. I found mine at my local Wally-World. It's made by New Bright Toys and is marketed as the "Jeep Wrangler Unlimited". It costs approx. $60.00, and while that may SOUND expensive, I know folk who have spent 20 times that amount to do what I'm doing here. You may have color choices, but I was "stuck" with red. It's O.K. though, because my wheels are red, so it's all good.
You will need to remove four screws that hold the body on the chassis, then lift the body off, and toss the chassis, unless you have a specific use for it.
Next, and this is complicated, so follow closely:
Place the ESC UNDER the top plate of the MRC, behind the motor (placing it effectively upside-down). Move the receiver to the top of the steering servo with servo tape or other fastener. Next, cut off the two ribs on the top plate, and place velcro on the top plate.
Test-fit the body on the chassis, taking note of WHERE the chassis sits in relation to the body- wheel wells, wheel height, etc. Then place the other velcro strip to the underside of the body, and "mate" the two halves (you will notice at this juncture that there is an AWFUL LOT of room underneath the body, especially in the hood area, to mount a battery or other accessories, pretty cool!).
The MRC sits a bit too high with it's stock suspension, so I lowered mine by mounting Duratrax "Cliff Climber" crawler shocks. It lowers the ride height by three-eighths of an inch, which is perfect for my conversion. Also, place lead weights on the insides of each wheel. I have approx. three ounces in each of my wheels, and it helps keep the wheels planted on the rocks.
With this mod, the Jeep looks like a stocker on which someone mounted oversized wheels and tires to it! Lights are going on, as well as a working winch! I'm using a scale beer cooler in the bed to hide all the wiring, and it's already wearing 3 batteries! Heavy? Not as much as I thought, but it helps keep the crawler planted on the rocks much better!
Another great benefit of all that weight is that the suspension system actually works like the real thing now. Crawlers as a rule emphasize articulation over travel, but now I have both! I might just try making it a bit faster, as a Trail/Scale truck.
My little "Jeep MRC" is SERIOUS cool! It crawls better than a stock MRC, but looks gangbusters now with it's new scale Jeep Wrangler body, and it all costs less than $100.00!!
New Bright makes all sorts of really detailed scale bodies that can be used for scale builds, such as this one, to make your MRC look and perform better than a stocker, and make it unique in your neighborhood, as well!! All the parts used here can be found here, on Amazon!!

A worldwide first, Losi’s Mini-Rock Crawler utilizes design elements from real-world rock crawling competitors. A multi-link suspension and solid 4mm axles provide the ultimate combination of lightweight agility and strength. The full-time 4WD drivetrain powers all 4 wheels through a center-mounted 3-gear transmission with a spool and slipper, providing grip and torque at each and every wheel. The positioning of the transmission provides the Mini-Rock Crawler with outstanding balance for tackling the toughest climbs and maneuvers. Heavy-duty metal ring and pinion gears, solid axles and axle shafts combined with a full set of ball bearings provide the Mini-Rock Crawler with durability for extreme, precision climbs. On top of the outstanding handling elements, Losi has loaded the Mini-Rock Crawler with the electronics you need for serious control and torque. An LSR3000 radio system with genuine Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology provides crystal-free, no-interference control and a lightweight transmitter design. Power comes from a high-torque Losi electric motor, controlled by a Crawler-tuned forward and reverse electronic speed control that keeps the Mini-Rock Crawler smooth and stable on the most uneven terrain. An extra amount of drag brake was added to hold the vehicle in the steepest of grades. The Crawler also features a high-torque rock-crawling-specific servo packed with power.To fully achieve the scale lookof the full-scale rock crawling machines, Losi designed a Tuber-style body inred, blueor black. To provide the traction that rock crawling demands, Losi adapted their unbeatable 1/10-scale Rock Claw 2.2 tires for the smaller size, resulting in Mini-Rock Claw tires. Mounted to beadlock-style wheels, the Mini Rock Crawler can clamber and climb nearly any obstacle with ease. With a rechargeable battery pack, wall charger and alkaline transmitter batteries included, the Mini-Rock Crawler is the only choice fo

Hotshot Off-Road Buggy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)More than 20 years ago in Manila, my brother and i got to compete in R/C racing.
Mine was the Grasshopper and his was the ever durable Hotshot.
It was one heck of a vehicle which he lent me from time to time.
Being young and inexperienced, i slamed this baby on gutters and sidewalks several times, but it didnt seem to bother it at all. Sure it was heavier than AE's RC10 but as for durability, i can say nothing more. A blast from the 4WD past.
Recently, i got myself this re-issue version. I noticed it almost looked the same, minus the ceramic resistors just below the wing. Brings me back to the days when after a competition and i pick it up, i drop it a few feet back on the ground because my hand gets scalded from those resistors. Now they are just there to complete the look.
Im collecting now. I first bought the RC10 - the one that beat us up most of the time in races. I couldnt afford one then, but now i got one to start off the collection. Intended for me, I eventually had my son play with it since i knew there was something else i wanted. Then i stumbled on the re-issued Hotshot, and i have never been so happy. It took me and my son the whole day bringing it to life. A good bonding project.
The Grasshopper and The Frog is next. Im getting my credit cards ready as i'll be purchasing these two soon here at Amazon.

I had huge expectations from this car. and It is way more than what I expected. the packing came really good with FACTORY SEALED and good condition. it had really good deatils in terms of knowledge about how to change it from touring version to DRIFT version and belive me its simple and quick and best it works. I changed it to drift version its toooooooooooooo good. It drifts, slides, with a great handling. Only one recomendation as its sooooooooooo much fun playing and running around with this powerful car. I would suggest buy a NiMH battery pack to make the fun last longer. I bought one and it last longer and is more fun to play with it. another good feature is that theres plenty of room to modify it according to your needs. I bought HPI D-Box, HPI LED SET, HPI T-Drift tires, HPI Chevrolet Camaros 2010 body, which makes drifting and playing with this car fun. I want to buy SPRINT to DRIFT Sports Camaros now!!!

The E10 from HPI Racing is an entry level 1/10th scale electric car designed for fun driving with realistic looks and performance, all at a low price. The E10 was designed so anyone can take the wheel and give it a try! The Assembled version comes with a fully painted body and a preassembled chassis, but eliminates the radio system, battery and charger so the owners can use their own equipment or purchase custom electronics not available in the RTR version. The RTR version arrives ready to run right out of the box with a fully painted body and a preassembled chassis, it's a simple matter of ‘charge and go' for hours of fun. The Touring version comes in a variety of highly detailed and pre-painted body styles, from the exotic Lamborghini Murcielago (10762) to the famous Nissan R32 GT-R (10763), to the muscular Ford Mustang GT-R (10764).

1/16 Rally Racer VXL 4WD RTR with 2.4GHz Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So this is the new Rally, bas on the popular platform that the it shares with the mini e-revo, summit, slash 1/16, and that is about as positive it comes.
i received this car in the beginning of january, as i love the look of a hot hatchback, and i had owned the mini revo before and i really liked that, but i was disappointed very much so !
the good.
*its durable, good traxxas plastic
*motor is brushless and powerful
*drive line is good
*lots of parts from the revo fits this one so theres lots of upgrades and after market parts
*can be very fast with other tires
*2.4ghz from traxxas is in its second version, with multiple car memory good range and nice ergonomics
the bad
*the tires are awful, they are hard rubber which has little grip/traction so it doesn't fare well as a touring car, its not hard/slick enough to do drifting well either.
*this car likes to spin out under acceleration, high speed, going into turns
*it has tons of body roll
*as a rally car i would like to see it do both on and off road but his cannot, it is strictly onroad and not very good at that, they should have called it something else, rally is mis leading
*due to body shape the motor and esc does not get much airflow and the esc would repeatadly go into thermal protection running two traxxas nimh packs in dual, even when taking it easy, the motor will get very hot which is not good either, ESC fan and motor heatsink recommended, traxxas does not offer thesei own several RC cars(20+) from HPI, Losi, Traxxas, Tamie and chinese cheap cars, and i have never wanted to get rid of one until i got the Rally it is that bad, you can go out buy new tires (which will cost a small fortune) get a spoiler, different shock oil, ESC fan, motor heatsink, dremel airflow holes in the body and much more, and you would be left with a car that is just ok, not good nor great.
this is not a recommended buy....any of the other 1/16 scale revo based cars from traxxas are good and fun, but the rally is just horrible. I am so disappointed

Pro-Line 80 Chevy Blazer Crawler Body w/Roll Cage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this body the other day, and wow it a lot bigger/longer then any of my other 1/10th scale car's. Anyway i like this body, its very durable, but what i did not understand was that it came with a roll cage, but not a roof rack or anything, and after i saw realized that i think its actually overpriced! I also bought another 3racing winch for it, which is great for the scale, but now i dont even have the roll cage on, cuz it looks ugly with out the roof rack, if you r rich, buy this and proline scale aceroies, and a roof rack+another rim and tire to go on the back, but if your not so rich like me....i dont think this was actually worth $60...
oh yeah, and it doesnt got the lights either, so buy those too, but its annoying cuz i bought a light kit, and hwat u do its drill a tiny holl in the back of every light, then put the real lights in the fake lights, but then it works and looks great, but now i cant to it=[

Motor, Velineon 3500 Brushless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This motor arrived well packaged and very clean. Instructions were very easy to follow to install this motor into a Traxxas Slash 4x4. While I'm less than impressed with the set screws on Traxxas Pinion gears (not included with this product), this motor runs flawlessly and powerfully battery after battery, without getting too hot. I use 7.2 and 8.4V batteries, and the motor takes what all the batteries can give and says, "Is that all!?!?" The 3500Kv rating means that for every volt applied to the motor, it will turn 3500RPM. So a 7.2V battery will, in ideal conditions, allow the motor to reach 25200RPM, with the maximum 11.1V packs pushing around 38850RPM. This motor is well balanced, and when properly mounted and installed, will NOT be the weak link in your drive train. As it is sensorless, there is a bit of "cogging" (stuttering) at very low throttle inputs from a standstill, but only upon initial launch, and only when applying an extremely small amount of throttle to propel your R/C vehicle.
Very good product, and well prepared for transit to my door by the seller.

Chrome Wheel (R) w/Talon Tire (2): ST Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased for my traxxas rustler to replace the step pin tires that wear quickly on hard surfaces. These tires do not have as much grip on hard surface as I was hoping. Just like the description says, they will slide on asphalt to prevent grip rollovers. When running on asphalt you really have to watch your speed during sharp cornering to keep the tires stuck to the ground and prevent a spinout. I definately would recommend these tires if you are concerned about wear on the factory step pin tires and will run mostly on hard surfaces.

The Traxxas 2.8" Talon tires are the most versatile all-terrain tires available for your Traxxas model. The directional long-wear tread pattern provides extended tire life, while providing exceptional traction on most any surface. The 2.8" Talon integrates a soft rubber compound, large foam inserts, and a go-anywhere design that allows it to excel on asphalt as well as rocks, grass, dirt, or any other surface. The tapered tread design where the treads meet the sidewall enables the tire to slide on asphalt, to help avoid unwanted traction rolls. Increase the ride height and ground clearance of any Traxxas stadium truck by adding a set 2.8" Talon tires.**

Traxxas’ 2.8" All-Star and Twin-Spoke wheels redefine looks and convention by combining structural strength and futuristic stylings. The state-of-the-art design features a brilliant mirror-chrome face. The horizontal bead helps grab the tire, reducing the stress placed on the glue joint by tire expansion.

** When using 2.8" Talon tires on the electric Rustler use a pinion gear that is 4-5 teeth smaller than stock

The Mamba Monster handles up to 6S LIPO input (25.2 Volts MAX). It has a switching BEC circuit onboard to provide plenty of power for your receiver and servos. Don’t worry about the amp rating, nothing even comes close to the real world performance of the Castle controllers, and Mamba Monster is no exception. We’ve hit 60 mph with RC vehicles that have absolutely no business doing 60 mph. (And we were doing it in a 20 mph zone!). Mamba Monster is designed to keep its cool while it pounds your truck. Castle refused to cut corners on the design or the components, the electronic and thermodynamic fundamentals are right to begin with. Castle then wrings a bit more power out by using a high efficiency heat sink PLUS an integrated cooling fan to make sure you finish the race. Thermals are for the other guys. Mamba Monster ESCs come with huge 6.5mm gold plated bullet connectors for reliable power transfer and simple installation. We’ve even thrown in a Castle Link USB adapter* so you can tame the Monster by adjusting the really useful settings using your Windows PC.

ESC: * Monster power for monster trucks and 1/8th scale nitro conversions * Powers EMAXX and EREVO to mind blowing speeds * Conversion kits for Losi, Jammin & Kyosho 1/8th buggies available soon * Up to 25 volts input & powerful switching BEC. USB adapter included. Motor: * 2200 KV, oversized can * 5mm shaft standard * Extreme NEO magnets * Extreme motor!
