They are good batteries although they are expensive, ignore the C-rate they are very powerful. I use them in my Tamiya TT02 they are amazing.

[@allanritchie1539]

You've done us proud with this one, awesome looking car. Pity they always put the motor hanging out the back like that, good for wheelies but that's not really what we want is it. Still very nice to get one on the channel.

[@BenGodfrey-js4gg]

How 15 hrs ago when the vids 15 mins

[@davidamoroso2279]

This was a wonderful video!. Tried to win the speedster but I'm not great with that stuff. Anyhow love your videos! Never boring and the comedy is great. Thanks again for your page.

Yeah its just an rc car. Drive it ,shelf queens are lame.

[@Adeadoornail7226]

They rarely make changes to existing models over 20 years, I doubt for one second that this will stay limited, it will be released as a normal model with crappy graphics before long.

[@daylightdies7194]

Then I’d buy one 😂

[@TomleyRC]

I’d buy more than one 😅

[@MCsCreations]

I'd buy one and paint it red! 😂

[@screeny30]

just like they did with the Ultimate Hauler. used the TRX6 chassis and first sold it as a SnapOn Edition and a few months later, they released the "normal" version of the Ultimate Hauler

[@boo5628]

True traxxas almost never updates anything. Instead they slap a different body on it and call it “NEW” ( *cough Trx4 cough). What I would love to see: a lateral prerunner with 4 link trailing arm rear, like a baby UDR. I would buy one.

[@jeremyofthejungle]

That motor transmission setup would be the perfect start to making a scale outboard boat motor

[@CliffLaLonde]

Absolutely great shots of Austin flying up and down the beach, loved it !!!!!!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@Del350K4]

2:13 - they're mock friction dampers, Phil. Before telescopic hydraulic dampers, we had these rotary friction units. Traxxas have taken advantage of the need to include them and hidden the suspension springs in there

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Del 😇

[@Modifier-RCs]

Really like how it did that long wheelie 🤙. Looked so cool 👍

[@Del350K4]

@@Modifier-RCs It did, didn't it? Phil's a master at doing that kind of thing on camera.

[@Pablo668]

I'm amazed at how well that car went on the sand. Something that it isn't designed for. Oh, I think those suspension things are called torsion springs. The VXL system is fun in a Slash, that's where I put mine after trying it out in my Hornet. It was pointless in the Hornet. Backflips all day. Eta: NI!!!!!!

[@TomleyRC]

It went so well! I wish I had more battery packs 😅

[@MCsCreations]

They were built to run on salt, I believe... In a desert in the US. 😬

[@WinkelManBearPig]

They were run on dirt tracks and sometimes sand beaches here

[@EriMCardenasRC]

@@MCsCreationssalt?

[@MCsCreations]

@EriMCardenasRC Yeah, old dried lakes, where there's lots of salt left. They use it for races and trying to beat records since the 60s, probably 50s...

[@rccrazy]

Totally not my thing yet on the other hand that is one of the COOLEST rc I've EVER SEEN🤣 Wheelies so well with the motor configuration🤪

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it is so cool!

[@roblowrie1969]

The rooster tails of sand coming off the paddle tyres looked awesome!! This has given me an idea to sway the new brushless Zorro chassis with my son's brushed one, shove some paddles on that and send it on the beach. Great looking car that 1920's racer. It would be good to see some other manufacturers thinking outside the box. 👍🏻

[@coyster530]

You're probably one of the first people to modify this and do anything fun with these most people left them as Shelf Queens

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I like to push the limits a bit more 😎🤟

[@maszkalman3676]

Well because others are not fking rich and can't ruin an 800+ dollar car for the fun of it (the lowest prices i saw for this car)

[@TomleyRC]

@@maszkalman3676 I’m not rich, and I didn’t ruin anything. In fact… I think I made it better 🤩

[@a.harnish501]

These things are so cool. What made them bad ass in real life is they could run the Indy 500 one day and the next show up at a half mile dirt track.

[@walterbryan1798]

This looks pretty cool. I'd love to see these mass-produced and made into their own racing class.

[@billtruett8593]

LOL the only thing I could think of watching was the Traxxas new movie “Austin Powers and his snap on member” sorry it just came out 🤣🤣

[@martinb2262]

To me this sums up 'hobby' perfectly. Modify something to have some fun and go and have a blast with it. Limited edition to me doesnt mean it stays pristine or standard. Its your to do as you want and make it to your tastes 👍

[@janoravec2563]

No turn signals make one happy Tomley RC :D

[@PhilipCockram]

Best Traxxas channel on KZbin !

[@TomleyRC]

I agree 🤩

[@RCDriftTok]

Awesome! I thought about getting one and converting it to drift spec 👀😂

[@TomleyRC]

Well… you have to now you’ve suggested it!

[@demoths]

I think it'd be a helluva time trying to eek out the required steering angle, the design severely limits how much angle (particularly to the left) you can get out of it. But if anyone can figure it out, its the purple drifty dude!

[@madjh8]

Traxxas, please, launch a normal version ... because this is amazing. Very cool, we need one normal.

[@JeepinMaxx]

Looks like a blast! That was some outstanding footage - the slow motion clips were awesome!

[@dangrady2938]

That was pretty cool Phil , imagine running two sets of the rear paddle tyres on it front and back ,absolute beast .

[@chrisgreener5599]

I do have many Traxxas vehicles as I thoroughly enjoyed watching you bash this thing on the beach! My local hobby shop has one on display, but I think it’s the owner’s personal one. If it ever comes up for sale I will buy it and to unthinkable hop ups to it!

[@maadmaxx123]

I'm not going to lie, I thought this limited edition sprint car was cool but nowhere deserving of the hype everyone had on it. Love seeing things getting life by being used.

Got to love a 2WD !!! WHEELIES !!!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes 🙌🏻

[@mikehensley78]

the charger will charge any 2S or 3S battery as long as you have the adapter to plug it in. the badge comes off the front of the charger to reveal the balance ports. if you hold the 2 bottom buttons it puts it in universal mode. i love my traxxas charger.

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome… good to know!

[@cogboy302]

That drives remarkably well given the straight axles and friction type dampers/springs, etc. I have a full size '55 Chevy, Gasser-style hot rod. It's got a live rear axle on ladder bars & panhard rod, and a solid drop tube front axle on 4 links with panhard rod (was IFS on double A arms originally). Coilovers all round. It handles surprisingly well on A & B roads for a car with solid axles at both ends. I wonder if Traxxarse will launch a Model A or Model B Ford 3 or 5 window coupe, early '50s style Hot Rod on a similar chassis as the Snap On car?

[@TomleyRC]

I hope they release some cool stuff on the platform 🤞🏻

[@just.jose.youtube]

Said this in another comment: Eventhoug I also think Traxxas wouldn't invest a lot of money on making a limited edition rig and not profiting with it later, I'm not seeing a big market for this platform.... Is there any? I think they'd look sweet though!

[@TheDudeRc]

Had a couple local guys do a brushless conversion and get 60MPH out of them on the drag slash wheels/tires. I just dont have the heart to mod mine. Shame as its mostly an over priced shelf queen lol When these cars came out i spoke to Traxxas and they said they had no plans of making a production one since they are so fragile. That being said, while they have parts available they are free. Just send them a picture of the broken part and they will send you a new part! :)

[@mece66]

Those few seconds after 13:53 has to be some of the coolest rc footage ever. I had to skip back and watch that a couple of times. Wow!

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Machine some gears and put a Maxx can in it. Looks like a blast! Thanks for another great vid!

[@deezrcz]

Hey Tomley! In regards to your comment about it being the fastest bl-2s, all the 2wd ones are that fast. The slash will hit about 29 stock and the rustler will hit about 34 stock. They move for the price! With the optional high speed gearing they will hit the claimed box speed as well.
