Speed UTV

The speed RC car is worth every penny of $150.

I had a much more expensive RC car that always needed work. I think it was an Axial Yeti.

We have 2 of the Speeds and they take some abuse for sure.

Ours have not broken yet.

What scale are the Speed R/C cars?   The Axial Yeti was fun when it was not broken.  Especially if you threw a 3 cell in it at the dunes.

May have to order 1. the traxxas always fell apart when I drove it into things. Horrible rc driver. needs a steering wheel.

 
Asking for a friend, if I put a deposit down do I get a free t-shirt or hat from Speed..........#wanttorepresent

 
Traxxas is garbage.  Check out Armma RC worth every penny!  My sons and I all run 1/8 scale 6S and these things are tanks and fast as hell.  A while back 4 friends decided to buy Traxxas 1/8 scale after seeing mine run and every time we played All of theirs would break.  Even the wives who watched us playing laughed at them fixing and praised how I kept going and going and going....They stopped playing with theirs now lol.

I have a Armma Typhon 6S and it has been the toughest car so far.  Kiddo launched a good 50' off a jump and it nose dived onto the street.  It took the hit and kept going.  Then we started taking it to the r/c track and my kid started racing.   He did pretty good with it too.  Then the racing go a little more serious.  Now have a 1/10th scale 4wd Team Associated and 1/8th scale Losi for racing.

So wait, you guys are saying the Speed UTV is gonna have a remote control option that will NEVER break?  Wow.....

 
Turning this into a thread about RC cars is smart to reach 200! I've never gone down the rc road, I know I'd buy one, use it a few times and then it would sit on the shelf. I crashed one of @Poule43 after warning him not to let me drive it.

Technically we are still taking about a Speed car, just one you can buy at NAPA.  We are comparing them to other brands Traxxas (Polaris).  LOL!

 
I feel like last year we were all talking about the same thing, getting a car this Summer..............DejaVu for sure.  I hope peeps get their cars by 2023.

 
FYI, it looks like they have closed up shop and vacated their building here in Havasu.

But hey...Robbie Gordon!

I believe building and safety are holding up the build out of that location.   They have been using it for race prep when Max races his UTV.

I wonder if they are getting the building ready for renovations. Anyone in the Havasu area have access to build permits?
