The Famous Traxxas RC Car Models
Traxxas RC cars are famous for their exceptional speeding capabilities, their models differ in size looks and design but the fact that they are exceptionally fast among RC cars remains true for all its models. Here are some of the models.
The “Bandit” is more of an introductory RC car that runs on batteries. The price of a Bandit is not as much as some of the RC nitro cars from Traxxas, so it is affordable, quite and costs less in maintenance and refueling. The Bandit is also capable of reaching considerable speeds for a electric RC car and do not underestimate its ability to withstand tough conditions either.
Usually, RC trucks are not meant for the tracks, they work better off-road than on paved-tracks but the “Jato 3.3 RTR Nitro” is not one of them. This RC nitro truck is capable of going at tremendous speeds on-road and also run with accuracy even when going off-road through mud, sand or rocks. The solid grip is possible for the Jato to maintain because of the supreme “Anaconda” tires that it comes equipped with. This RC nitro car is certainly a beast to be reckoned with both off-road and on-road.
After mentioning the Jato, I should probably introduce the “Nitro 4-tec 3.3 as it is probably the fastest car in Traxxas’ arsenal today, thanks to the extremely potent TRX- 3.3 engine that powers it. This RC nitro car is capable of speeds as high as 70 mph or more because the engine is one of the best that you can get for a RC nitro car nowadays. At such speeds it can indeed be very difficult to maintain control, therefore this is not a car for the beginners, buy it only if you are capable of controlling the speed beast even in tight corners with your radio device.
When you are dealing with the “TMaxx 3.3 RTR Nitro”, know that you are dealing with a monster truck that is not only powerful but also uns at speeds quite amazing for any class of RC nitro cars, let alone a huge monster truck! The TRX 3.3 motor is the prime reason that this “monster” is capable of reaching speeds near 55 mph, but anyone familiar with the Traxxas’ TMaxx models already know the about the series’ reputation of perfectly blending pace, balance and torque. Like every other well made RC nitro car that is good at running off-road, the TMaxx 3.3 also has powerful torque at its rear.
After mentioning all the advanced hobby-grade RC nitro cars, let me introduce you to the “Spirit Truck”, which is meant for rejuvenating the RC car owner’s spirit by bringing back a bit of fun and entertainment back into today’s competitive RC car racing. The preset Spirit Truck is a RC car that runs on batteries but just like all Traxxas RC cars, it still is capable of running at competitive speeds, although it focuses more on bringing the ol-school feel back to RC cars.
