I have been buying RC cars, trucks, planes, helicopters and boats for about 20 years.I don't race against them.I just like to use them as a hobby.I was only impressed with the 2 RC \'s I bought, a Nikko 4x4 truck and a Nikko speedboat, both of which are electric and all number 9.6 v battery power.The rules of electric RC vehicles have changed;Traxxas turns the electric RC hobby into a fun day full of action, adrenaline pumping, ultra-fast balance.Traxxas provides amateurs with a fast, affordable battery-powered electric RC that blows competition out of the water.These new Rc can reach speeds of over 60 mph, which is not a proportional speed but an actual speed!The first time I saw a battery powered electric RC from Traxxas, I was surprised by the pure power of the car!I can't believe I 've wasted money on other RC cars like Nikko and New Bright, they're not even as powerful and flexible as Traxxas.Other battery-driven electric cars don't have 1 out of 10 Traxxas, for example, if I drive up the hill, my SlashVXL is sending 6 feet dirt out of a cock tail and drifting all the way up the hill, or when I'm driving it on the grass, it runs through it like a gas-driven RC.Just like a natural gas-powered RC car, Traxxas provides an interchanged cog for dirt or street racing.Additional parts can be obtained at any time through channels such as hobby stores and online suppliers;Tires, rims, body kits, motors, battery packs or anything else you need to get you back on the road.Slash VXL out-of-the-box will reach a maximum speed of 30 mph and no assembly is required.Replacing the 7-cell NiMH battery with a 35 LiPo battery will increase Traxxas to about 60 mph at all speeds and the running time will increase to about 45 minutes-1 hour, I haven't jumped to this stage in the game yet, and I'm still learning how to handle cars with speeds of 30 miles per hour.Why do you want to use a brushless RC motor?The Traxxas Slash VXL comes standard with a brush motor, and the next step is a brushless motor.I bought the brushless motor because it is almost maintenance free, the brushed motor has a small fan built into the end of the motor, on which dust and debris are caught, need to clean up, I want to have a good time without maintenanceI 've read some customer reviews saying that the brushed motor had overheating issues during long runs, so to avoid any RC downtime, I spent an extra $80 to brush the power, now I'm glad I spent the extra money.Gas RC V.S.I don't want to use gas-driven RC because I don't want to deal with all the issues and extra equipment I need to run them.Electric RC has gone a long way and I'm not saying the ones you bought from Toys R & D city and WalmartMart.What Traxxas does for the RC amateurs NASCAR does for its fans;They pass the joy of heart beating, adrenaline in a box.With the electric RC, there is no fuel to buy, no rope to break, no engine to turn off or shake, just take it out of the box and charge the battery, after you read the owner's manual, you left, haha.Did I forget to mention that today's electric RC can run face-to-face with the gas version?Take a look at the video below, which is the world's fastest battery-powered electric RC car that runs on a real track at speeds that can exceed 100mph.Driving this RC car requires some serious driving skills and it turns into a pile of scrap at a wrong move.Overall, I believe the Traxxas RC is crushing their competition, and there is nothing even close to the highest speed that Traxxas offers, and the tyre melting horsepower is almost unbelievable, especially for battery-driven RC cars.The only thing I don't like about the full package is the charging system.If you don't mind waiting for 8 hours, then it's OK to use the charger that comes with the package, but I want two batteries and a quick charger, that way I can have a few hours of uninterrupted fun.I bought a quick charger that can charge NiMH and LiPo batteries if I dare to upgrade to a lithium battery.If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment box below, and if you know anyone who wants to buy an RC vehicle but doesn't know what to buy, feel free to email them, or share it on Facebook and Twitter, it's really easy, just press the Like or Tweet button above the comment box.Thank you. I really appreciate it
