Traxxas 4Tec drift?

[DavidB1126]

This true or not? Idk, just saw it on Facebook. Guess a competitor already to the new Associated DC10

Well, not really. a basic 4tec ain't nothing like a real 2wd drift kit. But still.

More Pictures

According to "R/C Hobby of Medina" - the 4Tec drift will be available July 26th for 329.99. It will hit Local Hobby stores July 23rd.

I think traxxas forgot what 4tec stands for. 4tec is a 4wd. But this is a 2wd based off of a 4wd chassis?

.

surprised it got the old xl5 system.
And infact, its the regular 21T 550 motor out of the TRX4s but relabeled.
Really traxxas?
"Brushless is the future" - LOL

They would probably sell more if they sold it as a kit.

I feel this might be slightly over priced but what do I know lol, I also don’t know how this compares to other cars with steering angle

I'm not looking for an R/C that requires a specific surface to run on.

Road cars, I get... Carpet/packed clay/tile... nope.

Alright, Good job TRX. That's legit.

 

[Greywolf74]

Id much rather have the Associated kit. Its more expensive but its a much nicer kit imho

Not terrible but I'd buy the Redcat RDS over this. Is the Traxxas built on the 2.0 or 3.0 chassis, as the wheelbase differs between the two.

 

[luke66]

200mm wheelbase. probably a mix of 2.0 and 3.0

 

[DavidB1126]

200mm wheelbase. probably a mix of 2.0 and 3.0

Meaning its a 2.5

200mm wheelbase. probably a mix of 2.0 and 3.0

200mm Is very short, basically "Mini" class. Hopefully it will be close to the 257mm standard for touring cars.

I'm a little confused by the pricing, the original BRUSHED 4-Tec 2.0 was $230, this "drift car" is basically the same thing minus a few parts (driveshaft, front diff, rubber tires), so why is it $100 more?

Usually 190mm and 200mm refer to width on touring cars.

Traxxas says 257mm wheel base, 200mm width

Scroll way down to see the specs

New TSM I'm guessing. The old just had the base TQi.

It doesn't work like that lol
190, 200mm are the widths for road/TC's. The wheelbase is quite different between the 2.0&3.0, with the 2.0 being standard WB for touring car and bodies and the 3.0 is a longer, non-standard wheelbase length for the class of vehicle. Guess I'm too lazy to look up the actual specs for myself though. Lol
Pics to show i have a few road cars for reference, and everybody likes pictures. My GF painted the trans am body for hers and it came out amazing. I tried but failed so i cheated and bought the 4tec 2.0 body to match my real car.

Maybe, it still seems a bit expensive for being an existing design minus a few parts.
