NEW TRAXXAS XO1 MOST PUBLICIZED RC CAR EVER 100 MPH FAST RC CAR OUT OF THE BOX X01

I just put my XO-1 on the ground, I've had it since February, and now it's mid-June. it is still stock and such a joy to drive. I am still on the 1st battery pack I can't wait to run it again. The car put a big smile on my face I just love it!

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool man, Hope yours runs well i've had my V1 since July last year and got it running April this year i plan to eventually make mine into a V2 someday.

[@TYZR4ME]

Hey Mark, I have been watching your channel for many years now, Great videos that your always putting out. I was hoping to meet you at the RC show last month in Pomona CA but sadly did not make it. But maybe one day we will meet, my garage looks just like you RC Garage lol. I have been an RC enthusiast since I was 9 and been in it almost 50 years from cars and trucks to large scale boats and crawlers to even large class helis from Align to Sab Goblin's. I just picked up my first XO1 this Saturday and can't wait to unbox it and take it out for a run!!! Congrats to the continued growth of your channel and look forward to seeing more videos. Have a great day bud!!!! P.S. I am blessed to have a wife of almost 28 years now that totally understands the hobby and the addiction of building and driving these vehicles couldn't do what I do without her support......

[@destruxandexploze2552]

I find the older XO-1 to look nicer since it doesn’t have the childish paint lines and such. It’s much cleaner and I like it better that way

[@Storyracing387]

The X01 video, was the first Traxxas video I watched when I first started watching rc content. Super cool looking car! Someone needs to make a full size version of it! Are the chances still good of seeing you in Georgia next weekend??

[@xsivemotorsports]

If you look at the suspension geometry, they are shipping the "New" XO-1's with the upper control arms in different roll-center / Camber gain position than the gen 1 cars. they have the same shock towers and knuckles, so you can use the "New" suspension positions on the "old" car.

[@MrT-nh6di]

Awesome, I brought it when they first came out, still have it today. Looks like the day I brought it. Love the XO-1. I would never sell mine.

[@babytaz781]

I have original x01 and I took my factory tires and spray them with PB blaster and let and let them sit in a plastic bag to dry. once they were dry I did it again till they would dry. then when I took it out to run it, it handled so good because isoftened up the rubber. The tires Maybe not good for high-speed running anymore but for medium to low speed bashing the tires were beautiful. So most definitely tires do make a big difference. and with my TSM set to 15%. I love my x01 so much more when I did that than when I first got it. I always take the x01 and limitless out together

[@sadmancho]

How does it compare to your Infraction? The new X01 vs Infraction video?

[@Hulk-g4v]

I don’t use traction control, the car will go straight and drift like a real car with full control, however, there is a trick to have xo1 to be the ultimate driving machine. 1. Differential fluid. 1.5m in front and 1m rear. 2. Shock tuning. The ones came with car , don’t upgrade. 3. Sway bar for rear only. Then its a total different car especially with corvette body👍

[@CoachD386]

With those stock tires expanding so much at high speeds, why didn’t they clear the side dam in the rear like they have the front. Was expecting a different car in general not a re release… Good video 👍🏾💯

[@themanthelegend7048]

I just bought one of these the other day. Love it. Ever since I was a kid and watched that episode of Pete and Pete with the giant rc I wanted a big rc.

[@jessemarkle5413]

Never liked the original bodies for the x 01s. Do they have any other options?

[@goatafiedatomic4956]

Finally Now I can buy an x-01 since they’re back in stock! Great video mark although I have a question. The little changes they made the car handle so much better so I’m curious if you put the new splitter and body with the new wing of the old one would handle the same?

[@davidlastname8479]

Does it have Anti-Braking? I also have one of the first X01's made. I probably only drove it for about 15 minutes. Never activated the 100mph. Although I did buy an Apple Player, so I could. I still have the original batteries stored in my refrigerator, but I'm betting they aren't any good. I have extra tires, body, etc that I never used. This video, has motivated me to get the car and my other RC's going again.

[@buginu72]

Will the old body fit on the new chassis if so find out that way.

[@oliviervandevelde7915]

What if you put the new body on the old XO-1? Should be easy to drive as well then?

[@unkulwilly]

I bought an new XO1 roller years ago and planned on fixing it up but after all the videos of them disintegrating @ 75+ mph on TY (and 2wd Slash going same speed) I decided to sell off the chassis, tires and body. but I kept the drive train and put it onto a Stampede 4x4 along with aluminum shock towers and Ultimate GTR shocks. made a bombproof basher years before the Hoss came out.

are there only 2 models of this? old and new?

[@jamiefox8670]

Switch bodies and see if that is what really changes the handling..did the old one have tsm?

[@teslacybertruck750]

Hi Mark on the traxxas app, what percentage do you recommend to set the TSM to? I currently have it at 50.4%, I just bought an xo1, I love it 🙂

[@Ilestun]

If you watch the video he gives his impression for tsm : 33%

[@xoibor]

I like the old one, the remote in the old one had the 70/30 and 50/50 modes for the throttle which I perfer over the Bluetooth module included

They do make angled body clips that make it easier to grab them and pull. Perhaps you might want to pick some up.

[@cjchannel12RC]

Hey Mark i saw your YT short and it's cool but i don't know how i should feel about this new release but i really love the XO-1 i bought the old version as a roller off eBay and will be building it with a Castle MMX 8s esc with Castle 1717 1650KV or a Hobby-wing Max 6 esc with Traxxas Big Block 1717 1650KV and spektrum dx5c with avc receiver.

Im stuck between this or the infraction v2, which one would u suggest? I like the infraction looks and ground clearance but not the electronics, i really like the new xo1 and im leaning towards it because of the castle system but im worried about the ground clearance. It sounds like it scrapes the ground really bad and im the type of person that likes to keep my cars/trucks looking good as possible and dont want it all scraped up and rubbing through the plastics.

They probably used softer compound tires as well. Tires compound makes the most difference. More than the body and wing would.

Came back to this video cause i love the XO-1 as a platform i have one Mine has a Hobbywing Max 6\4985SL 1,650KV 4\6\8s combo and a Radiolink RC8X radio system i got one sale for $255 on Prime day. I plan to convert mine into a V2 someday and maybe put a Castle MMX 8s\1717 1,650KV combo or keep the Hobbywing combo in mine also a few upgrades to help mine handle better. I also plan to get a Limitless and build it very similar someday still love your videos and i saw your limitless video and you should do a comparison run between the new XO-1 and your Limitless V2 build.

[@louis2179]

Saw another vlogger and suggested to trim the back rear chassis skirt for the wheels by less than an inch so that when the tires expand they won't rub and loose it's grip. Nice vid tho!!👍

good choice with go fast green! that car looks super fun, i've been ripping my brushless supra and its a beast.

[@borispopov7305]

Two things they should of also upgraded was putting better bigger bearings on the wheel hubs because when you do small jumps in the skate park less than 1m eventually the bearings get destroyed.2nd the body is too thin and it should be thicker like arrama felony. I use my X01 for drifting at the skate park.

And when I did the trade, the guy told me he was going to convert the XO to an offroad truck. I never saw the out come but thought that was a nice idea (to be different). Also this was all pre-all the arrma releases so its been a long time back. Anyways, I think I'm going to go ahead & order the new version.

[@davh73]

Green body looks great. Swap v2 body onto the new chassis/new body onto v1 chassis too see how much it adds to handling. If tsm is the same as Horizon AVC it reduces steering rate as you increase avc.

[@markamd1]

The Gen 1 X0-1 is the one to have, hands down. The ESC and motor in the Gen 1 were true castle systems, this "Nue Castle" crap is just not the same anymore. Great RC model for sure though regardles.

[@danielcase2189]

Old school nitro 4tech was the same way. Drove like dog poo the best thing the did for that car and the new x01 was put slicks on them. Those treaded streat tires were garbage. I think that is what makes it feel so much better. It made the 4tec feel like it was a whole new car. From your video on the xo1 I would say that's the best change they could have made

I enjoyed my xo-1 but high speed gear was not appropriate for where I lived and the cvts where always bending and breaking tire cost was pretty high too drifting it on black to would make the tires squeal eventually did a gpm 1/5 wheel swap with harder compound and basically made it a drift car super fun car but not for the faint of heart!

I'm pretty sure the new version comes with a gyro to help with the stability of the car un like the original does not come with a gyro and needed for it to become stable at lower speeds. I put an aftermarket gyro in my original xo-1 from a helicopter and it worked wonders. Made it a completely new car to drive and more fun.

[@martins2657]

Gyro is not a problem. But not so much soft stock tires. I tried XO-1 with 4S on onroad track. It was good, but still need racing tires. I ordered some foams with 37 hardenes and we will see :-) Gyro is good for straight runs, but when you are on the track, you don't want self turning servo in the truck.
