traxxas x01

Traxxas XO-1 AWD Supercar  received so much attention when it was first introduced into the market. I mean look at it! its such a beauty!! sleek design coupled with crazy top speed for an RTR, who wouldn’t want to own one?!

When the goal is 100+mph, “off the shelf” is out of the question. Traxxas partnered with Castle Creations to develop the Mamba Monster Extreme power system specifically for the unique power requirements of the XO-1. The proven Mamba Monster Extreme System has been enhanced for higher output when used with 6S LiPo power.

From its integrated capacitor bank to the proprietary software created just for XO-1, the Mamba Monster Extreme speed control represents the state-of-the-art in big-volt power delivery. The custom Traxxas Big Block brushless motor invites “cubic inches” to the party for massive acceleration and true supercar performance with the largest brushless motor ever offered in a Ready-To-Race model.

Along with the performance comes the technology, Traxxas has introduced first ever  fusion of connecting their radio system to their Traxxas Link app. This allows for fine tuning your ride while cranking out the throttle. It also provides a graphical dashboard with read out gages in your app to record and monitor your performance.
