I Paid $150 for this 100MPH RC Super Car! Traxxas XO-1 

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)

Why would it matter tho?

@@TwinJag374 It doesn't matter..... but people seem to think it does 😅

so what if he did you clearly spend to much time watch videos

Go watch Kevin then kid... What a weird comment lmao

Yes, really it just needs cleaning up and maybe gearing down a little… but would make a good car park Basher as it is 👌

120.. like 150 bucks.. omg... Oh my freaking god... That is a heavenly deal... That's something I could do

You can build a 50+ mph TT02 for £120

That’s still a decent deal 👌

Yes, a bargain indeed!

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.

Thanks dude. Really appreciate the support 🤟

Thanks dude

Thanks dude. I’m looking forward to seeing what it can do

Cheers dude

Thanks dude

Haha.. cheers dude

He'd given up RC... he also sold his Xmaxx (for £450!)

@@TomleyRC wow!! I'd have snatched his arm off for that!! 😳👍🏻

Yes, sometimes they are more enjoyable than a new build!

Fingers crossed. Would be good to hit 100 with it.

@@TomleyRC if you can stop it being so twitchy lol

It’s a good challenge 👌

Yes, hard to ignore!

Cheers dude.... this is some good info. Appreciate it 😎🤘

@@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 RU-vid) 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

Yes, for the money it’s a no brainer. Not sure if spend $1000 on one though!

@@TomleyRC yeah spot on, I got mine 2nd hand, a bit under the stupid dollars people were asking back then.

Cheers dude

Me too!

Yeah, it was an awesome deal!

Thanks mate

@@TomleyRC 😁👍✌

I think a new body and better balanced will see it do way better

Yes, hoping to get one 👌

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.

Yes, shame it was a bit trashed

Yes, needs a little bit of fine tuning

What tires/wheels are you running on yours? I'm having trouble finding some that will handle 50mph+ speeds

Haha… you may be right 😅

I think nice it is built up, I’ll throw them on the corner weights to see the difference

Yes, the materials used and manufacturing process can be quite different. I always go for Hobbywing stuff as it seems the most reliable

Yeah, I think it is… the GT3 maybe

Yes, decent deal!

Yes, and it was only 20mins from my house!

There’s so many variables in battery life. Driving style, the terrain, the motor, esc, gearing…. Batteries that last 15 minutes in a basher going hard last 90 minutes in a crawler. And it’s not so much about the cell count but about the amp hour rating. The higher the number the longer it runs.

That's what I've heard
