Handles so good... "bang hits a curb" 😆 Great video l, sweet car.

I find that logistics centers tend to be better for speed runs, since, at least in my area, the grounds tend to be made of concrete which is smoother and more uniform than asphalt. Also, the added benefit of nice long straight stretches with no passthrough car traffic. I had a quick job at one near my house, and when I finished, I asked the contact if he minded if I do a few speed runs with my RC car. He was cool with it, and asked me if I raced, noting that his son races RCs. I was able to get my stock Typhon 6S to 69mph with the stock pinion, and this was with the added weight of my Samsung Note 9 secured inside the chassis, since it has the speed app I was using. I haven't tried the high tooth speed pinion yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how much of a difference it makes. Logistics centers FTW.

That car even the original one was underrated to a degree . You see it was way more fun to bash it in stock gearing in the parking lot then it was to do speed runs with the larger gearing . It goes from zero to 50 mph plus in an instant . It’s an absolute riot !! I am going to upgrade mine to all the new parts and the get tsm for it !!

Oh and yeah. This car is on my wish list. Awesome just awesome.

First upgrade I'd make: new metal-geared servo. I've had a few Traxxas servo failures, and the last thing I'd want is a steering failure at 80+. Really excited about the new changes for aerodynamics and downforce. Great vid!

People should take this as a statement of what this car is capable of. You are an experienced driver and it can still get away from you. This is why they make you go through so much to make it do 100 mph cause if a younger little experience person got their hands on one could seriously injure someone.

You talk about hurting someone with the car at speed, what does the xo-1 weigh? Like 5-7lbs?

The issue is it is easier to react to an RC doing 60 mph than it is to react to an RC going over 100 mph.

I would think for the price and age of the XO Traxxas would do something new and exciting. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe the 90's color paint scheme, or maybe the body. I just wanted something new.

That Traxxas is awesome! I was thinking about the jitters he was referring too. That could be caused by several situations. There were a few incidents during initial driving, so if there is any play in the steering or front suspension components, that could show. The steering servo saver could also be tightened up if that won't break the servo gears in an impact. You could also adjust the front suspension to minimize the jitter. There appears to be 3.5° caster, not including the front suspension arms of it is there. So maybe thicker oil in the shocks could help, or less caster, but that helps with high speed stability.

I have a couple XO-1s and the only real issue I had, was the ridiculous amount of steering slop the platform has. Though, shims solved that, and they're a blast to run!

I think the tires is a big issue with the body also 🤔 that's why the limitless body is so nice with speed runs. Make another body and some upgrades put a xlx2 in there and a 1650 and see what happens.

Exactly, I don’t think it will hit a world record. But it would be cool if builders just looked at it as a race to build the fastest X0-1.

I’ve learned from this clip ….. 1) it’s best to look ahead of the car when driving it in a parking lot with bumps and rocks in it. This way you don’t crash twice in the parking lot. The second crash is confusing - the box says expert level so….. 2) it’s best to survey the speed run spot before you take any RC down at high speed. This way you can’t discover bumps in the road after the fact. Also just as important is a nice wide and flat spot where visibility is clear. No slow mo of the car flipping / just like the old one did because he even said it “flew in the air” - if he does all of his speed runs at that spot - wouldn’t he have known about a bump? That Xo1 did exactly what it’s done many times over the years - it caught air. This why we don’t see the bump or slow motion or anything. It flies in the face of the whole aerodynamic improvements 😂😂😂😂 He should’ve done the speed run in the very first lot in the clip. 🤔go figure. 3) the entire “review” is a near word for word read from the Traxxas description and unboxing. Easy to see why he gets review cars. Shame on Traxxas for giving us a few nips and tucks on a decade old car with the same exact electronics. Was hoping an all new XO2 would be Traxxas answering the success of the Limitless. Instead we get another XMaXX “8s conversion kit” - remember that BS ??… 😂😂.

That’s it, I’m buying one. There’s a v1 near me for $500 but I’m not sure that’s a good idea
