The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer Will Blow Your Mind - RC Car Action
You can see it in this article.
Basically they have a planetary gear set between the drive shaft and in the pinion to add extra gear reduction at the axle. This is to reduce torque twist from the rear axle. It is actually a legitimate innovation...unlike their other patents.
I might finally buy a Traxxas product because of this truck. But first I will wait and see how they hold up in the hands of others. I already see several things that give me pause. For starters plastic 17mm wheel hexes? Really?? Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but that is a pretty basic thing these days for ~1/8 RCs, especially on 6S.
Here's to hoping they make a roller/kit without electronics....or I could just get a Yeti XL Kit....
Looks strangely like a Fab 9 Ford 9in with Chevy Chevelle mounts on it to me.
Except for the planetary gears from an auto trans being in the 3rd member, that is new, sort of. I hope there made of unbreaknium. Just saying.
Price to me is in the unanium range. That is full car money. I would still have it and the Losi if I could.

this truck looks really cool, it is really tempting !!
i love real desert trucks, they look awesome
do you also think that it would look better with higher front arms ? ( which i understand that it is difficult to get on a 4x4 because of the transmission )

You can use any transmitter on any RC as long as you use a compatible receiver.

Personally I would love to see these actually raced. The dimensions between the Losi and traxxas aren't too far off. One thing personally I think would have been cool is if this had an OBA system on it, scaled up for the size. Be cool to see these actually ROARING around the track. That to me is the thing that nitro brings to the table, that rumble, and this is coming from someone who is pretty much an electric guy. (will be trying nitro again, glutten for punishment I guess lol)

it will be quite interesting if aftermarket companies will build a rear solid axle.
