What Traxxas say...
Traxxas® is The Fastest Name in Radio Control®. For over 25 years, we have made it
our mission to innovate. To lead. To find the next level of performance and capability.
We are driven by a passion for speed and power, and now Traxxas has redefined the
meaning of both. State-of-the-art technology. Cutting edge design. A total focus
on quality and precision. All have been distilled into one vehicle that could only
come from Traxxas. 0-60 in 2.3 seconds. 0-100 in 4.92 seconds. Top speed over 100mph!
Simply put, the XO-1 is the world's fastest Ready-To-Race® radio controlled supercar.
When the goal is 100+mph, "off the shelf" is out of the question. Traxxas partnered
with Castle Creations to develop the Mamba Monster Extreme power system specifically
for the unique power requirements of the XO-1. The proven Mamba Monster Extreme System
has been enhanced for higher output when used with 6S LiPo power. From its integrated
capacitor bank to the proprietary software created just for XO-1, the Mamba Monster
Extreme speed control represents the state-of-the-art in big-volt power delivery.
The custom Traxxas Big Block brushless motor invites "cubic inches" to the party
for massive acceleration and true supercar performance with the largest brushless
motor ever offered in a Ready-To-Race model.
XO-1 is equipped with the world's most advanced Ready-To-Race® radio system. The
all-new Traxxas® TQi™ radio system with Docking Base turns your iPhone® or iPod touch®
into a powerful tuning tool. The device display combines with the Traxxas Link™ App
to deliver an intuitive, high-definition, full-color graphical user interface that
optimizes your radio system for ultimate vehicle control. Automatic model recognition
instantly recalls your settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models—just switch
on and drive. This powerful App gives you complete control over the operation and
tuning of XO-1 with an intuitive, high definition graphical user interface. Once
you have created the perfect control settings for your model, you can save them as
a profile that you can restore later, use on another model, or share with friends.
Traxxas Link telemetry sensors transmit real-time data including speed, RPM, temperature,
and battery voltage with stunning visuals.
Traxxas Link makes it easy to learn, understand, and access the powerful tuning options
built into every Traxxas TQi radio system. Control your Drive Effects settings such
as steering and throttle sensitivity; steering percentage; braking strength; and
throttle trim by simply touching and dragging the sliders on the screen, or enabling
the Multi-Function knob on the transmitter. Everything happens live, on-the-fly,
giving you instant feedback on your changes.
Traxxas Link collects and records real-time telemetry data as you drive. The Traxxas
Link dashboard comes to life showing you speed, battery voltage, RPM, and temperature.
The application automatically detects and recognizes Traxxas Link sensors for easy
set up and configuration. The dashboard is fully customizable with either dial or
digital readout gauges. Up to nine gauges can be displayed at once. Set threshold
warnings and log maximums, minimums, or averages. Use the recording function to document
your dashboard view, with sound, so that you can keep your eyes on your driving and
not miss a single apex. If you forget to record, simply touch Instant Replay anytime
to capture the previous minute of fun and unexpected triumphs. The recordings can
be named, saved, and shared with others.
Once you have created the perfect control settings for your model, you can save them
as a profile that you can restore later, use on another model, or share with friends.
If the track conditions change, simply re-tune your Drive Effects and save them as
new profile. Only Traxxas Link makes pro-level transmitter tuning so fast, convenient,
and easy.
High performance must come with high durability. Traxxas delivers with a robust shaft-driven
AWD (all-wheel drive) system proven in our most powerful vehicles and enhanced with
new features for XO-1. Steel-gear, E-Revo-spec differentials feature reinforcing
support bars to increase horsepower handling capability. The extruded aluminum center
driveshaft engages the front and rear gearboxes directly, so there are no dogbones
or drive cups to wobble or wear. New, telescoping steel-spline (SS) driveshafts with
dual CV joints engage the wheels with track-tested, splined 17mm hex hubs. New fine
pitch splined steel telescoping driveshafts handle 50% more torque than conventional
shafts. Oversized 6X12mm ball bearings spin efficiently at high rpm, run after blistering
run.
Developed specifically for the XO-1, the patent pending Cush Drive™ absorbs drivetrain
shocks with a custom-shaped elastomer damper housed between the spur gear and the
drive hub. Under extreme load (such as hard, high-traction acceleration), the elastomer
flexes to dissipate shock without interrupting power flow. The result is instant
acceleration with no wasted power.

Traxxas XO-1 1/7th Scale Super Car
The Traxxas XO-1 the first ready to run 100mph out the box radio controlled car.
It features the crazy 1650Kv castle creations brushless motor and runs duel 3S LiPo
batteries. Undoubtedly you will be lapping up all the info out there on this car
and wondering if you should pour $1100 into owning one. The absolute key to deciding
on buying this car is having somewhere to run it. A small stretch of road or car
park is not enough. You need space, lots of it and it must be flat and free from
debris. This car covers ground at an astonishing rate, even if you are not running
flat out.
Should you have somewhere to run it and you have the cash then go for it, this is
one of the most awesome RTR cars on the market and you won’t be disappointed. This
car is a beast, its big heavy and incredibly powerful. Don’t try and compare it
to a 1/10th scale touring car this is a different animal altogether. Its never going
to zip round a tight track and change direction quickly that’s not what this car
is about.
The handling of this car is hard to accurately describe as it is often overwhelmed
by the sheer power of the motor. It can spin out at anything up to 50mph easily
so good throttle control is imperative. But the car handles well enough, there is
very little slop in the suspension and it corners flat. Overall grip is good and
the weight of the car makes it feel solid to drive. You inevitably find yourself
comparing it to a much lighter 1/10th car and of course it is a bit slower to respond
and change direction in comparison.
Power is what this car is all about and opening up the taps is what you bought it
for. The included duel 3S battery packs are very good cells and have the power to
reach that infamous 100 mph top speed. The key is to build up slowly gentle throttle
is needed at low speed then at 40-50mph the aerodynamics start to kick in and pull
the car down into the ground. This car is much more stable at higher speed and this
is where it comes into its own compared to almost any other car. Full throttle can
finally be applied with confidence then it just a case of hanging on and making small
adjustments when needed. Try not to overcorrect and abort the run should you need
to. When slowing down throttle off smoothly then apply some brake gradually. The
XO-1 will find cambers in the road so don’t think its all over when you have finished
that high speed pass and give yourself ample time to slow down.
This car is amazing fun the key to running one is having the space and correct surface
to really open it up on a regular basis. We think this car could become a bit frustrating
if you can’t use it to its full potential. To accurately review the XO-1 is hard
as it sits in a unique place in the RC market. If you want one and can use it go
for it, you will not be disappointed. If you are on the fence then it might be best
to stay away or at least try one first.
One thing you have to do is admire Traxxas for building this car, its the first halo
model from an RC manufacturer and has created massive interest in the hobby.
