On board audio. damn cool. i'm retired from the hobby but outta lil boredom workin on my new house i saw this headline on redrc.

here is the video of it. Prolly something that can be placed in any car in time (perhaps future interface for other radios). really cool.

Racers give these guys a hard time, but honestly (as a retired racer) i can say that these folks are a reason this hobby isn't in the same shape as slot car racing.

Now you just need an onboard smoke generator to complete the 'nitro' experience. Bets on if Traxxas is already working on one?

This is like putting a speaker on your car to make it sound like it has a turbo.. By far pointless if you want the sound of nitro get a nitro

Indoors this winter this could be fun to watch SCT classes. Granted I would want to hear it in person.

Love Traxxas and how they aren't afraid to try new things.

Other's have done sound modules over the years, but nothing I have ever seen or heard was to that level. Kudos.

Didnt sound like any nitro I ever heard... sounded alot like the full size truck the Slash is modeled after.

I think its hilarious and awesome at the same time, Dont take it so seriously...
these are toys, by the way.
This will go perfectly with my RPM big block motor im putting on my eBug and SCTE 2.0!!

I kind of want one... we all have a car that we use for just bashing around the neighborhood with.

That said, now I want to know where the stock footage was shot. It had to be in the North Dallas area. I watched them a few weeks ago get new stock photos for the slashes at Mikes Hobby on the outdoor track. Really great guys at Traxxas.

Quirky and cool! If I was in my teens I'd have one for sure 8 )

For the record - it sounds nothing like nitro. It sounds like a V8 gas engine.

I agree! This is a cool little sound module. I know the scale crawlers are already talking about it. I'm going to buy one if it's not too expensive.
