Traxxas Rally VXL Racer



To add to its 1/16 scale VXL line-up, Traxxas has added the Rally VXL Racer, coming in October! Just like the 1/16 E-Revo and Slash, the Rally comes with a 6-cell 7.2V NiMh battery that allows it to race up to 30mph straight out of the box. If you want to hit those higher speeds, get a second battery and speed pinion gear and hit up to 50mph! To take advantage of those dual batteries, you can also purchase the Series Y-harness to get either higher voltage and thus higher speeds or the Parallel Y-harness to get more battery capacity and thus longer runtimes.

That incredible speed is courtesy of the Velineon 380 brushless motor and speed control. Designed by Traxxas specifically for the 1/16 scale versions, the Velineon system still includes the same incredible specs found in the VXL 1/10 scale models. The Velineon system also includes three modes: Sport Mode, Race Mode, and Training Mode. Training Mode allows you to practice at 50% throttle for both forward and reverse. Once you are confident in your ability to control this smooth machine, simply press the EZ-Set button and you get full brushless power.

The Rally comes with TQ radio system, glued-on tires, painted and decaled body, installed Velineon brushless-motor system, and the 7.2V NiMh battery with Traxxas' High Current Connector and charger.

You can see more pictures and video at RC Hobby Explosion.

Just arrived from Traxxas! These cool new VXLs are in stock and ready to ship!
