Traxxas Ford Mustang 1:10 RTR Orange

Chassis description Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0

The Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 chassis consists of a three- dimensional composite molding (nylon filled with glass fibers), which is light and at the same time rigid. Everything was subordinated to obtain the lowest possible position of the center of gravity. Axle drive is no longer solved by problematic belts, but by a central shaft - similar to the Slash 4x4 models. The model is supplied with a Titan 12T DC motor and an XL-5 controller. The mounting of the motor and regulator allows the use of AC motors, e.g. lähde: Castle Creations.

To simplify maintenance, the chassis is a modular construction. The front center and rear of the model can be easily separated.

Adjustable body brackets

Traxxas remembered that each body has specific shapes and therefore different places for optimal mounting. That's why the Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 chassis uses adjustable body mounts , so you can secure your body in the most convenient place.

Placing on-road bodies, for example from Killerbody, will not be a problem!

Possibility of increasing the angle of rotation of the front wheels, limiting the vertical movement of the arms

Traxxas remembered those who liked to drift. For drifting, it is important that the range of turning of the front wheels is as large as possible. That's why the front suspension of the 4-Tec 2.0 chassis is designed this way, and with a simple adjustment you can increase the steering angle up to ?? ° .

Furthermore, the vertical movement of the arms can be limited. The vertical movement of the arm is limited by means of an M4 screw (order no. TRA4897) screwed into the arm. This allows you to turn corners faster and improves driving characteristics when drifting.

Easy battery replacement

Do you use NiMH batteries with a height of 23 mm and LiPo batteries with a height of 25 mm? No problem for TRX chassis. Simply turning the holder ensures that the 23 mm and 25 mm high batteries are firmly attached. In addition, the battery holder is not attached with a clip, but with a plastic clip on the side.

Electronic controller Traxxas XL 5

Waterproof * electronic controller Traxxas XL-5 with three driving modes, support for modern high-capacity LiPo batteries and easy operation with the EZ-Set ™ button. The XL-5 controller is equipped with a training mode that limits full throttle to 50%. Thanks to this, novice drivers or children can gradually get acquainted with the features of the model and prepare for the full power of the car. Thermal protection, gold-plated connectors and an incredibly low internal resistance are the motto of this controller.

XL controller modes 5

• Sport : Default mode, forward, braking and reverse are possible.
• Race : A mode suitable for racing. Forward travel and brake are possible; reverse is not available.
• Training : A mode suitable for children or novice riders. It is possible to drive forward with a power limitation of 50%, brake and reverse travel again with a power limitation of 50%.

Powerful Titan 12T engine

The car model is equipped with a modified DC motor of the 550 Titan series with 12 threads on the rotor. The motor has 30% higher power than conventional 540 motors. The motor is equipped with a fan providing cooling.

RC set Traxxas TQ

The model is controlled by a two-channel proportional steering wheel RC set in the 2.4 GHz band - operation without interference. The transmitter is powered by only 4 AA cells, you can optionally use rechargeable NiMH batteries.

There is a rotary knob on the transmitter that trims the steering wheel (so that the model is straight when the steering wheel is in the center position). The indication of the battery status in the transmitter is indicated by an LED diode. The transmitter can be set to reverse the throttle channel and control (if you would like to use the transmitter to control other models).

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need screw glue, high-quality tire glue, silicone shock absorber oil and a set of screwdrivers. From our range we recommend an affordable set of tools for cars ..

The screw glue drips the thread or the head of the screw, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving do not allow the screw connection to loosen. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with a reasonable torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it could be impossible to loosen a screw glued in this way at all! From our offer, we recommend a medium-strength Fusion brand adhesive.

The tire glue adheres the tires to the rim of the disc. It is always necessary for the tire to be firmly glued to the wheel rim around the entire circumference! If the tire is not stuck around the entire circumference, it may rupture. The tire adhesive has a special composition that is able to bond materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the adhesive is flexible. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks in the tire would gradually form around the rims! We recommend Tire Glue from our offer - see recommended accessories / p>

Occasionally it is necessary to add silicone oil to the model's shock absorbers. During normal operation, there is only a slight leakage of silicone oil along the shock absorber piston rods. If the surface of the shock absorber piston rods or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leak may be large. For these cases, so-called repair kits are supplied. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are supplied with all shock absorbers. You can easily recognize the piston rods with a TiN surface by the gold-green color. From our offer of silicone oils, we recommend silicone oils TLR, Traxxas - see recommended accessories.
