My 1/16 scale legendary Sonic rc truck does 58.1 mph on a 3 s 4500 mah 100 c lipo to be so little it cooks, check out my speed run search for legendary Sonic beast
Was wondering about the parachuting characteristics so thanks for the bonus footage!. Apparently the holes Traxxas put in the body does the job! BTW, what do you think of Traxxas approach to covering the center drive shaft as opposed to Arrma's open design?
Could you run that gearing off road or would that overheat because you're doing back back runs and it look like it was pretty good i think traxxas knows what they're doing thanks for that smooth video and stay safe
I don't think anybody should claim speeds if that's not what they do out the box. especially if you need to change both the pinion and spur. technically you can get those speeds with almost any car with that kind of aggressive gearing. they should at least offer the high speed gears with the car in the box. I also think if they had just listed it as 50 mph people would still buy it. I don't see anyone really driving about 50 considering how much it parachutes at that speed.
4s Mojave will parachute to with a 6s system in it. The regular Mojave will to actually but it has more weight with the metal chassis so it won't be as bad.
@RobertNES816 keep watching it will with the least wind mojave never does, traxxas dropped the ball n recycled parts,I watched him jumping it ,unimpressive for 6s
Jay I gotta say definitely has a little more in in to hit 70mph. But I'm impressive with the body off going and a straight line . That's pretty good 😁👌👍👍👍👍👍
I started this hobby with HPI savage SS nitro gas monster truck then I switched to traxxas as they seemed to have more attractive look and finely made despite of the huge amount of plastic as compared to any other competitors. Soon I realized that traxxas just focus on look and design more than quality and performance, this appears with all products having same charts characteristics and speed gears and same blue bars etc.. I would love to see one new RC from traxxas that is flawless before I pay $700 for it… I like Arrma products they don’t run into same issues of traxxas and they are well built despite of the garbage servos and remote control, but the truck itself is well made and organized nicely and they don’t cost as much as the traxxas plastic made cars.
well traxxas is rarely honest about the speed unlike some companies that actually go faster then the claimed speed.... and you only need the included gear not to BUY more parts.... just another reason traxxas is what they are... i am shocked how fast it did go and didnt flip over
Those white lines in the middle of the road... The ones to your right look like Pac-Man at the end lol... Someone should paint that in yellow at the end lol.
The body adds weight and aerodynamic resistance. It's hard to compare runs with and without and draw any conclusions. My pickup can run a 8 second quarter mile at over 200mph* *some modifications required
It's raw! That thing is engineered nicely! Proof is in the pudding! U dont have to be a traxxas fan to know a well built rc! The price is deeper than the surface always! I am a short course fan myself & this is definitely a mean @$$ rc! A true turn on for me!👀💪💥
The little things Traxxas does like no speed pinion , special connectors, give you charger but you got to charge in car only unless you buy pointless extra connector.
There’s a lot of rc’s that will handle typical bashing offroad environments better without sway bars. Obviously the more things included for the price the better though. I’m more interested in the durability
I get that it’s a bit expensive, but I feel like this thing is getting a lot of unnecessary hate, at the end of the day it’s a proven platform that has been stretched and fitted with an unwieldy body. I think once a new or near new roller pops up on ebay it would be a serious consideration.
There are plenty of rc brands to choose from,why cry about one! This is a great rc! Kind of like one's own ole lady,either u want it or u dont! She doesnt come with half of wht u want & u still pay cash for her all day long & can hardly get action from her! Ijs! 😂😂
Im actually kind of shocked. Dont get me wrong i am a Traxxas guy thru and thru......but they do tend to inflate their claims. This time it looks like it may actually do wut it says it will do. I love the slash, i have 3 of them......but 700 bucks is a little steep
That 66 dont count with the body off. Traxxas doesnt say 70 with body off! You need to get that 66 with the body on outherwise its null. And i will not give that greedy ass conpany 700 for a truck thats worth 500-600 tops! Ridiculous, the way people support Traxxas with them exuberant prices. But i guess when you get it free it dont make a diff!
hmmm i'd pick new place for speed runs that road doesnt look flat
I wish Traxxas would start offering “rollers” as an option.
Me to Buddy
Agreed. Strange they don't consider it. I think it would be a very popular option for many.
Thay won't because thay want to be in full control.
@@SO-CAL exactly it’s there marketing, they don’t care about the sales lost and they’ve succeeded controlling the whole market tbh
@RcPlayer-tt2vw true and that's not a good thing.
I think they got a winner awesome speed run and stay safe
just curious, try this run again but with traxxas batteries.
I got good news I got my new maxx slash I got the green one. Brand new 2024. It does handle better then a sledge
Any idea if the widemaxx arms or the sledge arms will fit on this?
Those wheels fit the UDR?
What do you use for camera 🤙
Afternoon where did you set the motor mount pin for 27/46?
Nice video.. this may be my first traxxas... there you go fo getting that temp gun....
ikr...🤭
Thanks Jay and good video as always
Belted tires on Traxxas kits out of the box have been needed for a decade.
Tank you jaytee RUclips channel has all been good tow eyes you do help all of people in haddy tank you all way ❤
Love your channel! Thanks for your great content!
TY! Glad you enjoy it!

Belted tires make it slower bc when the tire balloons that makes more rollout which means faster. Great video
Belted tires are better for speed ballooning slows the car down lol

It will overheat offroad for sure
Good run, i was thinking of grabbing one but had to check you out 1st.

No body,that's another win for mojave and I like traxxas
4s Mojave will parachute to with a 6s system in it. The regular Mojave will to actually but it has more weight with the metal chassis so it won't be as bad.
You didn't watch the whole video. He did speed runs at the end and it didn't parachute.
@RobertNES816 keep watching it will with the least wind mojave never does, traxxas dropped the ball n recycled parts,I watched him jumping it ,unimpressive for 6s
At least the slash doesn't have differentials tearing up
how do you afford all the new rc car?
Wow, I'm impressed. I do like the truck. Good run.
This is the video i have been waiting for 😂😂😂😂
😊
Sweet!
I thought these bodies had pre cut holes to help it from flipping?
In the back of it
I like this maxx slash

Any time!
Does look pretty smooth tho at speed

i am shocked how fast it did go and didnt flip over
I’m impressed as well
No body on it = no real “Speed Test”. Facts. Only “Speed testing” with body on matters.🤷🏻♂️👍💯
I'm taking you didn't watch the whole video you have to watch till the very end
Traxxas reminds me of Apple users!
Excellent vid! 👏👏
ty
When Traxxas did there speed run was the body on because without the body im not that impress
That make you think back with the Mojave 4s when had it on 6s you should took body off for speed test
Those white lines in the middle of the road... The ones to your right look like Pac-Man at the end lol... Someone should paint that in yellow at the end lol.
That was awesome.... 💯👍👍
Great video
tks
Sold I’ll guess I’ll get one lmao
😂🤣🤑

68 mph not bad Jay Tee same speed as my traxxas snap on special edition sprint car.
lol… yeah right🥸
Pretty cool.
Batteries may have been drained with the run with body on, so maybe 66, then with 2 more teeth as said on box, can get 69 or 70 mph
I love traxxas but £750 is a laugh. I'll stick with the slash I think. Great video though.
55mph
eyes
👍👌
Perfect example why i don't biy traxxas new. $700 no speed gears no sway bars they are the most greedy rc company. That should be $600 tops.
Exactly what i said when i saw it today at my local hobby store

Ok bye then....
Yeah, I'm just embarrassed for Traxxas at this point.
Well it did 55 stock so I'm gonna say 64
It did 68 in the video.
@@RobertNES816 with no body
@@claytondelade1767 yup 68 without the body and 64 with it.
@@claytondelade1767 its all about batteries. Stock gearing mine did 60 flat with a 6800 120c graphene. 70+ easy on these gears.
I called that 70mph if you take it on the free way it will go over 70mph on down hill.
Freeway is gonna be more chewed up slowing it down, he's also already going down hill.
@@yourface3154 I’ve took 2 Rc trucks on the freeway before with out getting caught at 70mph before
@@yourface3154 it won’t slow down it will go. I’ve done it before it kept up with full size cars too

If you lower the front suspension and raise the rear, it shouldn’t fly through the air.
68
Too bad you can adjust the body mounts to lower the front end down for down force SMH
I see people making this a road speed basher
yep!

Mojave 6s is WAY better
Naah
Nope
Wake Mojave is garb
It's normally Arrma that lie to sell models! Arrma dont just bash bend!

U just don't know how to setup your car lol
