November 07, 2012 230Word from the US suggests that the new Traxxas 1/10 Brushless Rally Car is going to be a hot performer on a variety of surfaces. The Traxxas Rally features a 4WD drivetrain, Velineon brushless power and the TQi 2.4 Ghz RC system in a scale looking vehicle with a really low Centre of Gravity will make for speed and handling. Traxxas are claiming the RC Car can get to 60 km/h on the included NiMH battery and over 100 km/h with optional 3S LiPO power.

Perhaps the most innovative new feature on this new platform is the ability to reconfigure it from a traditional rear motor configuration to a mid-motor configuration, totally altering how the car handles and jumps. The best part is that you’ll be able to make the switch without having to purchase any additional components. It’s quite literally like having two different vehicles in one box.
