Traxxas' New Titan: Coming in July!!!

Traxxas is bringing out an incredible new boat, the Titan, in late July! RC Hobby Explosion is taking preorders to ensure our customers get one as soon as Traxxas releases the Titan on the market.



Everything about the Titan means business: the super-rigid, 36-inch deep-V hull; smooth, cable-drive efficiency; innovative water cooling system; and precision aluminum and stainless steel drive controls. The clean, modern hull design is built up in layers for maximum rigidity where it matters most, the transom and ride pad. The integrated battery trays securely hold a variety of battery configurations—from the included 7-cell Power Cell NiMH packs to 3S LiPos. With an optional 6S LiPo, the Titan can race at 50+ mph across the waves! Ride trim is easily adjusted by positioning the packs fore and aft using the convenient hook and loop straps that secure the batteries. The optimized rudder configuration carves amazing full-throttle turns. A high-output 2.4GHz radio system with Traxxas Link™, along with water-cooled and waterproof electronics, keep Titan going for the trouble-free, all-day running you count on from Traxxas.

Titan is fully assembled with a TQ™ 2.4GHz radio system, Velineon brushless power system, applied graphics, and detailed instructions. Two Traxxas Power Cell 7-cell NiMH batteries are also included.
