I recorded this video 25th March. Kev published his Video 6th April... so unless I can see the future, your comment holds no value 😅 (I've pinned this comment as it seems to be a common topic on this video)
For £120 I'd be dead happy with that, plenty fast enough for somebody who hasn't got much experience with fast cars and loads of headroom to upgrade with plenty of parts availability and a decent (ish) chassis. I'd love to see more of these 'project car' style builds, way more interesting that just brand new stuff out the box I reckon 👌
I am an old man that used to race as a kid, optima mid, Schumacher cat. Came across your channel which I love. Got a 144001 for my kid after recommendation. Got straight back into rc after 25 years. Best rc channel.
From one old man to another. Welcome!! Phil is a great You Tuber and he has pointed many of us to some great R/C cars we might not have considered until we saw them on Tomely R/C. I'm old and on a pretty tight/ fixed income Phil has done the research and footwork to get the best value. I can tell you the little car called a Pinecone R/C 1604 which was on Tomely can't go wrong with it. This is a great channel and it's worth it to review all the episodes.
Out of all the Traxxas RCs to doubt this is probably the only one that will 100% guaranteed do the advertised speed (100mph) out of the box It is limited (or used to be) unless you connected it to the (at the time iPhone only) traxxas app
That hobbyking receiver should bind up too most flysky radios as it's a rebranded flysky gt2. Older standard 2.4 ghz radio, something that's ok with rtr cars, even some brushless stuff that does maybe 30 - 40 mph is completely fine as response isn't as quick as newer 2.4 ghz radios for racing but certainly acceptable if you aren't running super high end brushless stuff you don't want too smack into a curb or under a car at 85 mph. Radio also came with a bunch of hsp rc cars back a few years ago got a pair of them sitting around atm from some old cars, though lost the bindplug at some point. So if you happen too have one of those flysky radios around it's worth trying too see if it works, might be needing to switch too AFHDS1 protocol mode on like a Flysky GT3b which is a bit newer but still compatible with these older receivers after doing a setup change with the radio. Fairly standard procedure Receiver should start flashing once you press bind button if its on either via a receiver pack or esc bec with the bind plug in ch 3, hold bind button on radio while you turn it on & let go after like 2 seconds, it should stop blinking on the receiver too confirm it's paired too the transmitter.
Best thing for my xo1 was a leopard 4084 with a few chassis mods and a lot of weight reduction tuned for handling and car park thrashing top speed is now only135kmh but so much better on tyres and can drive it hard, the original 1717 is direct drive in my 8s streamliner
AMAZING FIND!!! You definitely need a much better quality esc. lol I don't believe the down force is very good right now either. I'd highly recommend a Deltaplastik or Bittydesign body, which they are getting ready to release the all new LAMBO 1/7 body any time now! In my experience the Stock XO-1 body is also very sketchy at high speed & the small stock ABS plastic rear wing is more for cosmetic appearance rather than performance. With a decent wing on this Vette body & possibly some vertical stabilizers you could make a huge difference in how the car drives. Also Powerhobby gripper tires are absolutely excellent or possibly a softer compound of the New design GRP tire. Some nice foams if you wanna go super fast! Cheers from OIIIO...
@@TomleyRC I totally got what you were saying with this video. When you released the video about how Traxxas do business I repeated what you said about how they do business after you said about Google the law suits, I also googled horizon hobby lawsuits and Traxxas take it to the xtreme! Horizon however there’s not much to see. When I brought up the subject of lawsuits in a comment I made I got hammered for it by people saying that horizon are a much bigger company etc and Traxxas are just protecting there products. I’m a firm believer in that Traxxas over charge you for there products. There in general quite a bit more expensive than there counterparts cars of similar spec or claims of what they can and can’t do. I do have to admit that I’ve not owned a Traxxas but I’ve been at a friends house when each of his kids got one. A Bandit,Rustler and a Slash Having been involved in Rc since I was a kid 35 years ago I think I got my first Tamiya Hornet, I was asked to set them up for my friends kids. I did it but within 1 hour all the cars had problems. The Slash being the worst with broken drive shafts and screws falling out. These cars weren’t being driven hard or doing big jumps they were being driven round a 2 acre garden which at the time was just loose dirt. I only use this as an example for my own experience but that put me off the brand. Plus this happened on Maui in Hawaii so there were no hobby stores and everything had to be ordered to come from Hawaii (the big island) I definitely don’t think being plastic (much cheaper to produce) and using ESCs motors and servos most seem to swap out straight away for better because standard ones (from watching all vids on RUclips) are shit! They are not worth the price they are. If they were say 10-20% cheaper, keeping in line with other brands then maybe there worth it but not priced as are
It’s a bargain either way. Looks like fun too. I have a stock X-01 and I haven’t taken it to 100mph yet. I have gotten it to go very fast though. The stock body might look dated, but the aero on it helps the car hunker down and increases stability at speed. The stock wheels are larger diameter than what you have I think and quite sticky, which helps again with speed and stability. Still, I though it went alright considering. I have an Infraction too btw, great car.
An absolute steal for the money, but there's always a reason for someone outing something that was obviously a project. Can't wait to see it rebuilt. 😎👍🏻
Hey my friend I just want to let you know a super helpful tip. Buy yourself some "Fredo" foam exercise blocks to set your car on for bench testing to keep the wheels off the ground. They also work great just to store your cars on if you don't want the tires getting flat spotted
Years back I always wanted a Traxxas xo1 and then I finally got one at a good deal not quite as good as your deal but still a good deal and then found that I had absolutely no where to run it at least not to truly open it up so after sitting on my shelf for almost 2 years I finally traded it off for a 1/5 HPI Baja all decked out with a 33.5 CC O'Donnell brother racing motor and obr tuned pipe. I do not regret the trade I actually still have the Baja.. but even though they're hated on by a lot of people the x01 is a nice speed platform and I would have kept mine if had somewhere to properly run it
I'm in the states just got what is basically a roller of one for $40, has the motor and receiver, have to get an ESC and body, and going to use it with my TRX 4 controller most likely via the Bluetooth module.
Maybe you can try to toe in the rear wheels for more stability. I don't have an x01. But i do have a traxxas Nitro 4 tec. If the rear is un adjustable, adjust the front for more toe in. Just try if it improves
So everyone does realize it's not the ESC limiting the speed right. It's a 1900 KV motor which is not matched to that ESC very well, also amperage draw lowers with higher voltage so an xt60 would be fine with 6s honestly.
To be fair that ESC must be pretty old because the 150 amp ones now are usually 6s, although at eighth scale 4S will be your fastest setup when done properly.
I disagree, I bet he could put an mm2 in on 4s, and it would do at least 60mph. I've seen a lot of escs act like that when the amp demand is too high. The hobbywing 10blah, blah is bad about that if not matched, but if you baby the throttle enough it will hit good speeds, if you try nailing the throttle it acts like his. That's my experience anyway. 1900kv is definitely a 6s to 8s motor.
Good price, it has potential, but they removed the Castle 1717 motor & ESC unfortunately. It definitely needs good tires & maybe a suspension tune. Using only one battery would upset the weight balance. I can’t wait to see what you do with it 😎 I’d buy the Hobbywing Max6 esc 4985 motor combo, 34t pinion gear, quality tires with the correct diameter. It’ll do 100mph & cheaper than Castle 1717 systems. Mine is stock with the 34t pinion & I can confirm it will do 100mph on a good surface. It helps when you warm up the tires.
I'm sure you'll trick it out. You got a good deal on this speed monster. I always like new clean looking cars but they probably don't stay that way for long. It's probably going to be fun for you to clean and restore this car. Who knows it might be your fastest car when your done. Best of luck with the rebuild and thanks for sharing.
Dude. LOL!! "It's not worth it." Beautiful. Excellent deal. That RX looked like it was a Hobby King which is a rebranded who knows what. Not a fan of this manufacturer but I would have gone for that deal. I'm thinking Castle Creations. Gonna go hug my Limitless now....
Cool find i wish i could something like this, Even though i already bought a brand new roller off eBay if i ended up with something like this i would probably use it for parts or i might restore it and have a spare. I'm right now building mine i'm not sure if i should do a Max 6 with 4985 combo or an MMX 8s with 1717 combo or wait and see if Hobbywing makes a G2 style sensored Max 6 with a new sensored 4985 motor. I love XO-1's and i can't wait to see more of yours.
Nice find. The guy might have pulled it all apart to rebuild shocks, diffs, etc, and didn't take the time to set up the suspension properly. I did that the 1st time, and it was a Speedrun car, bad mistake. Trim won't fix a badly tuned suspension.
so double click the button once its in gyro mode to swap the direction it corrects, nice to know, you should do a full video on the dumbo rc and how to set the gyro and all that, there is no good videos on how to do anything with it, and the instructions as you know are pretty terrible
My slash had xo-1 driveshafts on it when purchased they broke instantly lol and cost 70 squid a pair. FYI have China specials on and they're still going strong 💪
As a newbie I don't know anything about these but i can imagine with what you know and have in your spares bins Phil you will no doubt set it up to be a right rocket ship
Great deal for around 150$. Give it a little love and you've got a nice fun car. I'm asking myself why someone put an 80$ cheapo-engine in such a good base. I would push it to the limits. As always. Good video. Keep it up.
@@TomleyRC Just guessing but doesn't the stock XO-1 having a 1:5 motor? Could be a good explanation why the 1:8 motor is much smaller than the original one. I would put a cheap Hobbywing Combo in it. Maybe a Max8 if you want to stay on the budget side. Looking forward what you're planning with this kind-of-a-roller. Greetings Chris
Have absolutely no idea what I would want to do with something like that. I've already got a drifter and a dragster that I have nowhere to run. Looks like I'm stuck in the dirt and rocks. Hope you and yours are happy and warm, be well.
@@TomleyRC hope you didn't take that wrong, I'm actually bummed cuz that looks like a hoot. That's why I built a drag car and a drifter. I'll find another parking lot soon. I just moved way out in the woods this time though. Have fun. 👍
I think the car is too heavy, the motor is definitely small. I wouldn't recommend a 1500 series stator I would go more for the 1700 series stator, basically a 49mm motor should definitely do the job
The reason it cogs badly is not over-gearing, I'd say. I got a few of these Turing/Hobbyking sensored 1/8 motors, and they really REALLY do not like unsensored ESC's. They rattle and whine like mad. I use them with an LRP sensored ESC, and they're suddenly butter smooth and quite powerful.. Aaaand.. too small for the XO-1. Sensored motors - in general - also aren't as powerful as sensorless motors with the same size and wind. The thing I do not get is why the car is so squirrelly. I'd check the camber, caster and the suspension itself. The unbalance due to only 1 battery only partially would explain the atrocious road holding, and can be compensated by adjusting the dampers on one side. The body could also add to the trouble. The car seems to lift a bit at the front at speed.. And there goes Your steering and balance. At speeds around 60 km/h, body shape becomes very important, especially for our - relatively - tiny and light toy-cars. Even the Vendetta, despite its shape, has trouble keeping straight if the body is just a little off, say, the front dampened too hard and the nose a couple of mm too high. The XO1 body is basically a giant wedge, more like a pan-car, and as such way better at speed. Anyways.. It's just a thought... 😜
HI PHIL I RECKON U GOT A BARGAIN. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT SPICED UP. KEV HAS ONE HE FINDS IT A HANDFUL ALSO. TAKE CARE BUDDY HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND SIR.🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏻👍🏻
Good day. I was wondering if you had a good idea for a new chassis build to go with a body that I acquired. The body is an Austin Healey 3000 that I want to make look like my grand fathers car(which my parents still have). I am thinking either a rally car or street car(not a drifter). I am not sure which chassis would be best for it do you have any good ideas? Thank you
This was traxxas price gouging at it's finest when it came out. Getting one for an absolute bargain like you (even if half of it is missing) is the only way i would ever get one
I would like to see the weight of the xo1 and the infraction, I believe the infraction has way more weight into it for alot more stability. That's how people can get crazy 150mph run out of the infraction/ limitless.
Those wheels you removed are only £20 for a full set,been using them on a 3s Typhon and Hobao gt on 4s for ages m8 and they're pretty good, anything above 4s will kill em quick though.
i had them too they are sold by multiple brands I believe, I bought them from absima. for me they were perfect for 6s 70+ mph street bashing tho hahaha so im not sure how you killed them. For me they lasted for ages as well, the previous owner was probally doing burn outs with them
If I spin the wheels off the ground with my car.... The front right of the car lifts, the faster you do it obviously causes a harsh vibration.. Have checked everything and nothing looks bent, steering arms etc, nothing on the car has ever broken but since this problem started I have replaced the front diff, Front suspension (with the exact same ones) but the problem still persists. Losing the will to wrench on it now as can't seem to figure it out
I’m waiting for the wind to die down here to speed run my TT02. It did a scale 1/4 mile in 2.7 @ 50mph on 2S, GNSS said it was still pulling. Yup m hoping for 60+ on 3S
Traxxas VXL, 70mph out of the box on 3's. If you can still buy it? You could probably put the the kysho corvette ZR-1 body on it with some adapting. Probably have to change wheels and tires and change gear ratio to suit your new smaller diameter on-road wheels.
Wow nice. Im soon getting my first nitro rc. Its sort of a barn find and just like thise video i will also be doing a first unboxing. After that spruce it up and turn her into a sunday driver. :)
I can get my rustler 2wd going 65mph with a basher layout with 2.8 badlands and has about 2 1/2-3 inches of clearance 😅 I think this with be a great project car for you though 🤙🏼 Ps I am getting a TT-02 on Tuesday and am going to try and be in the top 5 fastest for that chassis
Hi mate I need a suggestion from you, I have hs18311 till now I've changed receiver & transmitter for couple of times . So, want to upgrade it receiver and transmitter please suggest me a good one.

For the price it’s a steal and ide be stoked🤘🏻shit that savox servo is prolly worth what ya paid mate😜🤙🏻
Yeah, it was an awesome deal!
Nice find. The guy might have pulled it all apart to rebuild shocks, diffs, etc, and didn't take the time to set up the suspension properly. I did that the 1st time, and it was a Speedrun car, bad mistake. Trim won't fix a badly tuned suspension.
I would never be able to find a deal like that good find
Can't wait to see the rebuild!
Just bought you a couple of coffees ☕️ keep up the brilliant content 👏 👌 👍
What a steal! I've been looking for one
O yeah looking forward to it 100👍
Me too!
So funny we Americans love you more than your own people 😅😂
so double click the button once its in gyro mode to swap the direction it corrects, nice to know, you should do a full video on the dumbo rc and how to set the gyro and all that, there is no good videos on how to do anything with it, and the instructions as you know are pretty terrible
My slash had xo-1 driveshafts on it when purchased they broke instantly lol and cost 70 squid a pair. FYI have China specials on and they're still going strong 💪
But its not got the internals it came with 🤷♂️
Iv seen stock ones when unlocked do the 100mph claimed easily
super duper jealous my guy. that's a good deal.
As a newbie I don't know anything about these but i can imagine with what you know and have in your spares bins Phil you will no doubt set it up to be a right rocket ship
Fingers crossed. Would be good to hit 100 with it.
@@TomleyRC if you can stop it being so twitchy lol
Great deal for around 150$. Give it a little love and you've got a nice fun car. I'm asking myself why someone put an 80$ cheapo-engine in such a good base. I would push it to the limits.
As always. Good video. Keep it up.
I guess they maybe wanted an XO-1 on the cheap. They bought it as a roller
@@TomleyRC Just guessing but doesn't the stock XO-1 having a 1:5 motor? Could be a good explanation why the 1:8 motor is much smaller than the original one. I would put a cheap Hobbywing Combo in it. Maybe a Max8 if you want to stay on the budget side. Looking forward what you're planning with this kind-of-a-roller.
Greetings Chris
What is this weird "$" symbol thingy people are using? It's witchcraft, I tell thee.
Have absolutely no idea what I would want to do with something like that.
I've already got a drifter and a dragster that I have nowhere to run.
Looks like I'm stuck in the dirt and rocks.
Hope you and yours are happy and warm, be well.
Yes, no point getting one if you have nowhere to run it
@@TomleyRC hope you didn't take that wrong, I'm actually bummed cuz that looks like a hoot. That's why I built a drag car and a drifter. I'll find another parking lot soon. I just moved way out in the woods this time though. Have fun. 👍
No not at all... It's pointless buying something if you can't use it :)
I think the car is too heavy, the motor is definitely small. I wouldn't recommend a 1500 series stator I would go more for the 1700 series stator, basically a 49mm motor should definitely do the job
The reason it cogs badly is not over-gearing, I'd say. I got a few of these Turing/Hobbyking sensored 1/8 motors, and they really REALLY do not like unsensored ESC's. They rattle and whine like mad. I use them with an LRP sensored ESC, and they're suddenly butter smooth and quite powerful.. Aaaand.. too small for the XO-1. Sensored motors - in general - also aren't as powerful as sensorless motors with the same size and wind.
The thing I do not get is why the car is so squirrelly. I'd check the camber, caster and the suspension itself. The unbalance due to only 1 battery only partially would explain the atrocious road holding, and can be compensated by adjusting the dampers on one side.
The body could also add to the trouble. The car seems to lift a bit at the front at speed.. And there goes Your steering and balance.
At speeds around 60 km/h, body shape becomes very important, especially for our - relatively - tiny and light toy-cars. Even the Vendetta, despite its shape, has trouble keeping straight if the body is just a little off, say, the front dampened too hard and the nose a couple of mm too high. The XO1 body is basically a giant wedge, more like a pan-car, and as such way better at speed. Anyways.. It's just a thought... 😜
HI PHIL I RECKON U GOT A BARGAIN. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT SPICED UP. KEV HAS ONE HE FINDS IT A HANDFUL ALSO. TAKE CARE BUDDY HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND SIR.🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏻👍🏻
Good day. I was wondering if you had a good idea for a new chassis build to go with a body that I acquired. The body is an Austin Healey 3000 that I want to make look like my grand fathers car(which my parents still have). I am thinking either a rally car or street car(not a drifter). I am not sure which chassis would be best for it do you have any good ideas? Thank you
I’m in the U.K. and subscribed to be honest it doesn’t make much difference if you refer to GBP or USD I still understand
Nice video 😀
Cheers dude
Yes sir, 0:27 facts !!!!
Damn - great deal! Even after new electronics and tires it'll be well under $500
This was traxxas price gouging at it's finest when it came out. Getting one for an absolute bargain like you (even if half of it is missing) is the only way i would ever get one
Yes, way to expensive... but probably acceptable when there wasn't any other competition
awesome rc and great run
Thanks mate
@@TomleyRC 😁👍✌
The HobbyKing receiver is a flysky if I'm not mistaken
Yeah, I think it is… the GT3 maybe
Is that squealing sound an esc problem or a motor problem. What's the name of this issue? One of my motors/escs do that too
Oh, not bad! Where can you find the RC.
Thanks
Bobby
USA
Cogging is caused by a missing sensor wire from the motor to esc
Or Cap issues
😂😂😂😂 great British pounds ….bro I’m in the states and we love you fam💯💪🏿
I would like to see the weight of the xo1 and the infraction, I believe the infraction has way more weight into it for alot more stability. That's how people can get crazy 150mph run out of the infraction/ limitless.
I think nice it is built up, I’ll throw them on the corner weights to see the difference
Those wheels you removed are only £20 for a full set,been using them on a 3s Typhon and Hobao gt on 4s for ages m8 and they're pretty good, anything above 4s will kill em quick though.
Yeah, I’d have probably run them if they were not worn out
i had them too they are sold by multiple brands I believe, I bought them from absima. for me they were perfect for 6s 70+ mph street bashing tho hahaha so im not sure how you killed them. For me they lasted for ages as well, the previous owner was probally doing burn outs with them
where did you get them mate? looking for an alternative to grp for my infraction. cheers
What a good deal Phil. Ok,so it needs a little work,but that's a great platform to play around with.
Sweet buy! I’d turn that gyro off tho. I’ve never been able to get those cheap gyros to work, they scare me
If I spin the wheels off the ground with my car.... The front right of the car lifts, the faster you do it obviously causes a harsh vibration..
Have checked everything and nothing looks bent, steering arms etc, nothing on the car has ever broken but since this problem started I have replaced the front diff,
Front suspension (with the exact same ones) but the problem still persists.
Losing the will to wrench on it now as can't seem to figure it out
I’m waiting for the wind to die down here to speed run my TT02. It did a scale 1/4 mile in 2.7 @ 50mph on 2S, GNSS said it was still pulling. Yup m hoping for 60+ on 3S
What tires/wheels are you running on yours? I'm having trouble finding some that will handle 50mph+ speeds
What a great bargain i would be happy with that .
Yes, decent deal!
it's not bad,can't wait to see what you do with it😀👍👍
It’s a good challenge 👌
Great deal Tomley. 🔥 👍✌️
Hoons from the infraction are the best option for tires
Traxxas VXL, 70mph out of the box on 3's. If you can still buy it? You could probably put the the kysho corvette ZR-1 body on it with some adapting. Probably have to change wheels and tires and change gear ratio to suit your new smaller diameter on-road wheels.
Yes, there are some fast RTRs out there. I may get a VXL of some sort 👌
What a bargain!
And only 20mins from my house!
I love your channel. You should get a team associated rival mt8. They made an 1/8 scale version of the rival mt10
Yes, hoping to get one 👌
That is so awesome that might very well get me to buy a traxxas again
Wow nice. Im soon getting my first nitro rc. Its sort of a barn find and just like thise video i will also be doing a first unboxing. After that spruce it up and turn her into a sunday driver. :)
For the money I think it's a great deal.
Team infraction all day long 💪🍻
I can get my rustler 2wd going 65mph with a basher layout with 2.8 badlands and has about 2 1/2-3 inches of clearance 😅
I think this with be a great project car for you though 🤙🏼
Ps I am getting a TT-02 on Tuesday and am going to try and be in the top 5 fastest for that chassis
Yes, blue ones are stock.
Hi mate I need a suggestion from you, I have hs18311 till now I've changed receiver & transmitter for couple of times . So, want to upgrade it receiver and transmitter please suggest me a good one.
I think you should send it like KT promised but hasn't done yet 😂
Haha… I told him I’m sending mine to the moon if he doesn’t 😅
Awesome deal mate
