Hoss Review | Traxxas | #askHearns
This is a more sensible, more sensible approach to your rsa, where you don’t have to spend. You know two and a half thousand dollars sort of thing to to get up and going it’s more portable, more conventional, definitely more portable fit will fit inside your house. Definitely it doesn’t have to live in this outside in the garage you don’t have to buy a garage just for your remote for a car or a big bathroom simulator super fast 100 case an hour ridiculous speed. So much and they’ve got the beautiful things like the reinforced body yeah the people like there’s, a quick release and they’re no body things which they’re carried over like they all the road cages, call it rocket science, it prevents their body from breaking. We have some big landings: that’s right landed on its roof, no worries. Um we’ve got this very clever uh battery retention system, which will take a couple of sizes of batteries. Evident, because you can run um this one on on two two cell and three cell, which was immense power for a little little truck 11 volt motor here, refrigerator, isn’t it. If you compare to the other the rustler, for example. This is much bigger, much bigger motors, a lot more power there, a lot more power, isn’t it um, Da, este, really really they’ve put a lot of time and effort into getting this thing to go really quick absolutely so. This is uh it’s, an upgrade uh it’s on the platform of this update and uh roster 4×4.
Da, but for what i understand, they’ve upgraded a couple of parts as you can see, the drive shaft are grey, so i think it’s like using different materials yeah. I think the power yeah a little bit, i think you’re right there and i think they’ve got a better wheelie bar better willie bar they’ve definitely got this um same as we saw in that. So we can see here that the uh, what would you call it? Crumple zone or the energy absorption thing we’ve also got it over here on the front as well. So you’ve really got a lot of flexibility. You know it’s strong, but flexible, which is really what you want on one of these, because you want it to have a little bit of give. Definitely you know you want just to rough and tumble, so really strong and reliable for the amount that we sell. We really don’t see a lot come back unless they’ve been running by a car or something you’re going to break it, no matter what you know, but you’re going to crush it according to the speed of the car really yeah. So i can see this going on to a nice uh skatepark yeah. We haven’t taken this to the skatepark, but it should happen eventually soon. I think so. I think it’s definitely on the cards isn’t. It we’ve got to pop in a 3s bathroom this one like a nice nine stack, 3S 5000 standard battery.
Yeah we’ve got bigger ones too up to probably 7 600 Da, but you know that’s that’s a good starting point and we always get asked about how long will it last for how long does it run, for i mean really depends on how you use it um And also the the size of the rating of your battery. So if it’s, a smaller battery or 5200 and you’re on sand or or wet surface, and obviously the motor and the drive train’s under a lot of load yeah. Whereas, if you’re just whipping up and down the street or playing in a gravel driveway, you won’t be using anywhere near as much throttle or power from the battery. So i would like to think that, with a a 7 000 milliamp battery and sensible driving that you really should have a run time of around 20 minutes at least yeah yeah. That really should be quite achievable. It depends how you manage it really there’s, so much power the they really need to be a full trucker really. So if you manage it well, you can have some pretty solid run time. So this is not special now at uh, 7.95 really uh, and it comes with a battery included as well so for 7.95, with a battery really good deal so jump on. This got a few there’s, a couple of different colors that is uh an orange green um green. I think so i think so, three and a half years attracts us a half.
I said probably the latest release that came in just before christmas, so yeah the latest car, so newest, strongest fastest 10 scale platform isn’t it it did.
