Traxxas "NEXT" is.... - RC-Monster Forums

At this moment, I'm having the biggest headache trying to get my 200A controller done, but I might be out of luck. The engineer sent me an e-mail saying that the PCBs used on the controllers were samples and a few of them failed. He said he could do a 100A 15S, but the 200A would've been awesome. I can get a motor with similar design as the Align 600L/XL motors, but much bigger and I will get a custom chassis done as well. If I add all the price, including some profit, I can have a ARTR super truck for around $600. All you would need is your favorite radio. Most would think $600 is expensive, but you will get a ESC, motor, Lipos and a rock solid truck. I'm nodoby compared to Traxxas and I know they have a big overhead, but they can make their own ESC and motor which for sure would be cheaper than the one I can get.

You can put me down for one of your super trucks Lutach, just get the design finalized, tested and cerified before christmas. And let me know who will offer parts support and I will get my buddy at the lhs to sign up so that I can get parts from him. And make sure that it has some instructions, maybe a exploded diagram. And some sort of tech support would be nice too, with some english sounding people on the other line. Maybe some attractive females, I know that Neil would buy one, just for the social aspect!

The drive train that is working for me right now is from the Hot Bodies line of 1/8 scale vehicles. Everything else will be straight forward. Most of my vehicles doesn't have instructions (BPP turggy, Mr. C MBX5T and my custom TC3 Truggy) and I work on them without an issue. I will make sure it will be easy to work on.

Yeah, just giving you a hard time. I am sure that Traxxas will bring out a brushless emaxx, and even an E-Revo eventually. They are a big company and rely on sales to pay the bills. I am sure that most of their stuff is not high profit, they just make it up with volume. I was serious when i said that I would be interested in your truck. Any chance you have a link or pics of the MR. C mugen? I have not had much success in finding any of his work.

Here it is in one of my thread's:

It is a well balanced truck. I had a problem with my Airtronics M8 and lost signal. The truck hit the curb at around 30MPH and only the servo mount and the SV27 motor had an issue. I will get a aluminum servo mount and get the truck ready again.

Nice looking truck, do you think he would make any more? Also did you have any success with the sv27 motor?

He makes them still. The SV27 motor is very strong. Top speed on the truck with 14.8v was around 45MPH.
