Yeah I seen that also, Thats what i need in my trannies!

 

[BJoe]

I may be spending even more money on my Pede now:shock: :twisted:

 

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

JRH just gets excited over ANY kind of tranny!!!!

but still, these actually look pretty decent, i've been thinking about getting an XL5 pede, i may just wait for this one!!!

This is what I think is cool:

With the VXL-3s you have the flexibility to use conventional brushed motors, brushless motors, and sensored brushless motors. The VXL-3s auto detects the motor type for you. High-current capacity (320 amps peak) and two-stage thermal protection frees you from motor limits.

This is sweet. I remember telling someone when the origional Novak was released and the brushless craze really hit, that Traxxas would end up making some RTR brushless vehicles.

 

[dotson]

kinda makes me made mad... my rustler was lucky to do 30 ? lol

:lol:

 

[Harley]

Dang, now I have to choose between a rustler or pede. 70 MPH stock rustler would sure be fun.

 

[dittohead]

I swore i would never buy another traxxas RTR but i guess that got thrown out the window. I want the rusty:twisted:

 

[bluonyx]

It can run brushed, and brushless motors. Sensorless and sensored, very cool option. 6V 2.5Amp BEC with a 6-cell NiMh, probably 3amp with a lipo setup. Auto-Lipo cutoff, cooling fan connector, WOW!:shock:


I just might have to get just the ESC to test out.

I think it's great that they put this stuff out, but I really think they betrayed people by putting out the XL5 pede and rusty so close to this. If they had known that this was coming out, they shouldn't have put out a "slightly better" rusty and pede, have people buy that, and then come out with these.

You know this just might mean they will come out with a brushless E-maxx 3.3....Now that would be sweet.

 

[LumTheMad]

Figures, my new rustler arived 2 days ago and the brushless setup is already on the way.:roll:

looks like the E-revo might become a reality after all.

2x can you say 55+ mph

Thats what I am hoping for since my pede has a mamba max hit in the amil for it

Yeah I just got my pede last month, bought a flm chassis, mashers, swami bar, rpm bumper and then just ordered a mamba max 2 days ago now they came out with this

 

[FrankyRizzo]

I am up for the metal tranny.

 

[Big Mike]

I've also been thinking about picking up an XL-5 just to play around with. Maybe to race if I can find a track around here, I have'nt really looked into that yet.

This looks like a better RTR option. Metal gears and a brushless setup right out of the box. I'm going to wait for this one, unless it costs substantially more than an XL-5.

Crawling drew me back into rc, now I want something else that goes a little faster...

 

[K_Willis]

Anyone find a price yet?

I'm guessing with the brushless system, the 5x11 bearing carriers, hex hardware, & metal gears in the transmission. We're going to be looking somehwere in the neighbourhood of $275?
