Ok i don't think the iOS will be a big deal, here is why. the fact that you need it to unlock it at the controler tells me that the setting is kept in a hidden menu on the transmitter, it makes the most sence to lock out max throttle to say 40 or 70% with a end point set in the Tx. otherwise they would need a receiver that has in it the castle link hardware and software to change a setting in the ESC it self, that's overly complicated. and since many who will buy this car will more then likely have a high end computer radio just switch it to that, problem solved. now i cant say with absolute certainty that's how they did it, but with what i know of the system it makes the most sence.

lol, that would be pure win.

exactly, traxxas ruined my xmax

I just read through the whole thread. I don't mind it at all that people are complaining about the things they're complaining about. It's the people getting ticked off at the complainers who need to chill... oO

I still like this car. It's cool, there's a good amount of thought in it. It didn't surprise me at all, it's all style and speed. ( =Traxxas)

NO, I won't buy one because it's not my cup of tea, and I can't afford it anyway. I don't like the ipod thing either, but it doesn't really bother me.

The ipod thing could backfire on them....

isnt it "i went to the danger zone"?

more importantly, if it has upgrades, which it probabaly will, what more could we get out of it?

first upgrade I would put on it is a parachute to slow it down at the end of the run

I know right!? some act like its a personal attack on their mom. "RRRRAAAAARRRR TRAXXAS IS GREAT!" LOL

First upgrade i'd do is increase the track and give it wider tires, it may hook up a bit better at lower speeds
