[@MR.TOYBOX]

That car even the original one was underrated to a degree . You see it was way more fun to bash it in stock gearing in the parking lot then it was to do speed runs with the larger gearing . It goes from zero to 50 mph plus in an instant . It’s an absolute riot !! I am going to upgrade mine to all the new parts and the get tsm for it !!

[@tonycoffee7335]

Handles so good... "bang hits a curb" 😆 Great video l, sweet car.

[@LordPrometheous]

I find that logistics centers tend to be better for speed runs, since, at least in my area, the grounds tend to be made of concrete which is smoother and more uniform than asphalt. Also, the added benefit of nice long straight stretches with no passthrough car traffic. I had a quick job at one near my house, and when I finished, I asked the contact if he minded if I do a few speed runs with my RC car. He was cool with it, and asked me if I raced, noting that his son races RCs. I was able to get my stock Typhon 6S to 69mph with the stock pinion, and this was with the added weight of my Samsung Note 9 secured inside the chassis, since it has the speed app I was using. I haven't tried the high tooth speed pinion yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how much of a difference it makes. Logistics centers FTW.

[@exp2tr10t]

First upgrade I'd make: new metal-geared servo. I've had a few Traxxas servo failures, and the last thing I'd want is a steering failure at 80+. Really excited about the new changes for aerodynamics and downforce. Great vid!

It's a shame that no one uses the XO-1 for high end speed runs. Arrma chassis' are so compatible with aftermarket parts, while traxxas is so proprietary.

[@fondfarewell2]

true.

[@DashzRight]

They are different product visions

[@fondfarewell2]

personally id buy just as a rolling chassis and put my own electronics, ones that dont limit my power. the chassis is beatiful though.

[@fondfarewell2]

@@wootwootjr poor engeneering... you have no idea what you are ralking about. people dont run xo1 because they are too expensive. whats poorly engineered? tell me professor?

[@reidisaacson9623]

@@fondfarewell2 Look at the motor placement. Like all traxxas, its limited to how big of a motor you want to run. Arrma has it set up say you want to have your motor and esc on the same side, it's easily flipped. Everything on this thing has "its spot". I wouldn't say $800 is too expensive. If you're serious at all about speed running, $800 could be just getting started especially since a high dollar rx/tx that some people use is $700

[@stopatnothing]

I have a couple XO-1s and the only real issue I had, was the ridiculous amount of steering slop the platform has. Though, shims solved that, and they're a blast to run!

[@Cynocehali]

Arrma limitless 🏁🥇

[@SebastianLong]

People should take this as a statement of what this car is capable of. You are an experienced driver and it can still get away from you. This is why they make you go through so much to make it do 100 mph cause if a younger little experience person got their hands on one could seriously injure someone.

[@rcdriver]

Great observation!

[@Blueknight1960]

You talk about hurting someone with the car at speed, what does the xo-1 weigh? Like 5-7lbs? Don't get me wrong, that'd hurt like hell but, I have the losi dbxl-e 2.0 and it's not hard to get that thing over 60 mph (some have gone over 100 mph) with a weight of over 30lbs (mines weighs close to 40lbs) and have gone 66mph with it. Trust me, you don't want to get hit by that at full throttle.

[@SebastianLong]

@@Blueknight1960 Well I have a Losi 5ive T the weighs 38 dry weight, Arrma outcast 8s that weighs 24 without batteries, two Losi Super Rock Reys that weigh 20 pounds and do 55 mph, and a Super Baja Rey that weighs 20 pounds that does 62 mph so i know all about that. The issue is it is easier to react to an RC doing 60 mph than it is to react to an RC going over 100 mph.

[@robertmoore119]

That Traxxas is awesome! I was thinking about the jitters he was referring too. That could be caused by several situations. There were a few incidents during initial driving, so if there is any play in the steering or front suspension components, that could show. The steering servo saver could also be tightened up if that won't break the servo gears in an impact. You could also adjust the front suspension to minimize the jitter. There appears to be 3.5° caster, not including the front suspension arms of it is there. So maybe thicker oil in the shocks could help, or less caster, but that helps with high speed stability.

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Thanks Greg I really X2 enjoy Traxxas and the products. I've to their facility in McKinney and have experience with their customer support. 100% satisfied.

Great showcase Greg!! That car is still waaaayyyy out my xp lvl for now,on the big pinion. Parking lot curve had my saying heck yeah, get after it!!! How do you feel about the stock rubber? And what will be your next set going on? Loved the forced air feed back to the big block. In your opinion, do you think it would need a screen in it? I'm in New Mexico with the sandy parking lots is the reason for that question. As always, great video and keep them coming!!

[@rcdriver]

No, the duct shouldn’t be an issue. The sand and rocks get kicked up and into the chassis from the tires. I dumped a bunch of debris out after each run.

[@DozerBoyRc]

[@unit2135532]

The X-01 was my dream car but I heard that the car wasn't fun to drive. I'm glad they made changes to the car but at that point I already have my Felony tearing up rubber at the local empty lots.

[@martins2657]

I think that Felony or Infraction have a higher fun factor.

[@christophermayo25]

I have a question I'm not sure what the noise is but it sounds like when you were driving it parts of the undercarriage or chassis or scraping across the concrete was that what that noise was or was that something else. At first I thought it was the body chattering against the mounts. But then I started thinking something under the chassis like the front splitter rear splitter was scraping against the concrete

[@rcdriver]

Yes, it was plowing rocks in the first lot. The splitter did all the pushing and was pretty chewed up. Unfortunately in the Northeast, the parking lots get sanded a lot, but never cleaned.

[@jdodds1023]

I’ve learned from this clip ….. 1) it’s best to look ahead of the car when driving it in a parking lot with bumps and rocks in it. This way you don’t crash twice in the parking lot. The second crash is confusing - the box says expert level so….. 2) it’s best to survey the speed run spot before you take any RC down at high speed. This way you can’t discover bumps in the road after the fact. Also just as important is a nice wide and flat spot where visibility is clear. No slow mo of the car flipping / just like the old one did because he even said it “flew in the air” - if he does all of his speed runs at that spot - wouldn’t he have known about a bump? That Xo1 did exactly what it’s done many times over the years - it caught air. This why we don’t see the bump or slow motion or anything. It flies in the face of the whole aerodynamic improvements 😂😂😂😂 He should’ve done the speed run in the very first lot in the clip. 🤔go figure. 3) the entire “review” is a near word for word read from the Traxxas description and unboxing. Easy to see why he gets review cars. Shame on Traxxas for giving us a few nips and tucks on a decade old car with the same exact electronics. Was hoping an all new XO2 would be Traxxas answering the success of the Limitless. Instead we get another XMaXX “8s conversion kit” - remember that BS ??… 😂😂.

Hi Greg, great review! I bought one yesterday with the 2872x 5000 3s lipos. However to my surprise they don't seem to fit.

[@BlueDually4x4]

I am in agreement with another commentor that the hoops are to keep less experienced drivers from doing serious harm if they lost control of the car. Even just clipping someone with it at 80mph+ is going to send them to the ER. I'm sure all those lawyers they have on payroll had a say in that decision. I am surprised at the Castle ESC considering how dedicated they are to keeping everything in house. Did you hit a bump or did it just take off, cause the thud in the video seemed to be the landing not the launch?

[@TheHasan187]

I think with add some upgrades it could be a speed run contender car. I don't think it will be in the lead with the arrma chassis cause it's alot of upgrades made for it but if Traxxas take the hear say from their customers they could put some nice upgrades of their own for speed runs. I think the tires is a big issue with the body also 🤔 that's why the limitless body is so nice with speed runs. Make another body and some upgrades put a xlx2 in there and a 1650 and see what happens. Maybe to light in the front for a 100mph car that was the reason it took off in the air all the weight is in the back.

[@rcdriver]

Exactly, I don’t think it will hit a world record. But it would be cool if builders just looked at it as a race to build the fastest X0-1.
