Is that not just a Hubsan x4 with a different colour stripe? I picked one up for £32.50 rtf here in the UK!

Ive been looking into this one quite a bit. I currently have one of the really popular micro quads out there and its quite a bit larger than this one. At such small sizes and weights these little quads are usually very durable. There is a performance trade off with brushed motors and flight performance and flying outdoors in wind etc with the micro stuff but these should be fun around the house on windy days or over the winter when outdoor flying isn’t much fun. There great for back yard flying and mini camera ships to on calmer days. Looking forward to seeing them at the local shop and maybe getting a demo flight or two. Until then I’ll just wait for traxxas to put out a video,ive seen a VERY similar quad and have to say for its size it performs very well and can do flips and rolls much faster and more stable than the current micro quad and im flying the current one on a much better radio than these come with.

A close friend that worked at traxxas up until about 2 months ago told me this was coming & I didn’t believe him, the one thing I can say as a owner of several FPV platforms is traxxas sure as hell is showing up E-Flights MQX! The MQX retails for around 140$ without a radio & 165$ with, these flight controller boards are very very inexpensive to manufacture & traxxas has proven this in their very inexpensive platform.. WAY TO GO TRAXXAS! Show E-Flight up!

the shark has been murdered, and is being made into shark fin soup….

You made this post tonight: GH Racing – Traxxas Rally Hop-Ups

When a person clicks on the link to visit the GH racing page…90% of the products are out of stock. Why post this link if no one can obtain these hop-ups?

This thing is really cool! I’m looking forward to trying this thing out.
We have a SYMA S107G which is pretty cool and very durable. It would neat to compare the 2.

Traxxas getting into aircraft? WOW. Quads are one of the biggest things and growing on the aircraft side in popularity. Sort of like helis but more durable. I might have to get one of these,looking forward to there product video for these.. if you can flip and roll one of these in a front room im in.. be fun in the winter while i bounce planes off walls in the house.

When will we see some RC car reviews on BSRC? WR8? Rally 1/10? You guys were the first with the press releases….let’s read your OPINION. Enough with the review posts on battery chargers, we all know by now that the majority of chargers use the same electronics but have different skin and stickers. Telling us about a new 17mm nut wrench…..please spare us! Go bash the new cars then sit down and write the 4 paragraph review….Cubby is writing 2-3 times per week so he would be a good one to emulate. We like BIg Squid and Are telling you this so that you can be better.

We shall see how traxxas does in the air against Blade & Eflite. Many of us have had our fun with coax and mini quads over the past year….the two don’t bring anything new to the party. Traxxas does have good distribution and parts….but Blade and Eflite are already there in the store. Can’t see how these two will pass the ASX3 technology….
