the Traxxas Rally RC Car.
The Traxxas Rally is a great starter RC Car for
anyone new to the hobby made by
Traxxas. It is a electric rc car that can reach
speeds of 30 Mph right out of the box... add a few
aftermarket parts and hop ups and you can get over
50
mph!
Coming in 1/16th scale the Traxxas Rally is smaller
type rc car for great on-road racing capabilities. This
thing takes corners great, accelerates tremendously and
keeps stability all at the same time.

The Traxxas Rally VXL is scaled after full scale cars
that race in the Gymkhana type style of racing. This is
where drivers must maneuver through a track already set
up with all sorts of obstacles such as tires, cones &
barrels.
The traxxas rally is made for gymkahana type
racing... and this is where you will be come proficient
at technical racing and rc
car drifting.

Rally and Gymkhana racing? Check it... 180 degree spins,
360 degree spins, plenty of rc drifting, reversals,
figure 8's and all sorts of advanced skills you can
think of... wicked hey!?
Excellent Video Review

www.Ultimaterc.com - This is a great video review, it's no wonder they call them Ultimate RC.
Price Point
Now if you're thinking about getting the Traxxas
Rally VXL then you'll want to know the price point.
Depending on where you purchase from you could be
looking anywhere between $265 to $310 bucks.
You can also get HPI Racing
RC cars for that price if you look hard enough.
For a rc car that goes this fast, does
that many technical moves and also rc drifts that is a
good price. You can check out our recommended
rc car hobby shops if
you want to know more.
Traxxas Rally - Overview
Get Stoked baby - this could be yours...
Traxxas Rally VXL Bodies
Ok let's get into the nitty gritty for the more savvy
rc car enthusiast. When you buy the traxxas rally it
comes with a F1-inspired suspension
which in turn gives the rally vxl great handling. The
shocks are lower then normal giving you a low center of
gravity which is great for all the turns and maneuvers
you will do with this baby.
The traxxas rally vxl has oil filled GTR shocks which
are specifically designed for hte gymkhana rally racing
you'll be doing... if that's what you want... you can
also rip it up in the dirt rally style but I prefer on
road with this little guy.
Coming standard with the rally vxl is the awesome
BFGoodrich rc car tires.
These rc car wheels are designed and made for drifting
and turns - they have a special compound folks.
You can
also update the rc car tires if you wish with
aftermarket parts, hop ups and upgrades.
If you like rc car bodies then this is your rc car.
The rally vxl looks super sweet and there's plenty of
bodies for it. The gymkhana one is pretty sweet I must
say. When you get the default body it also comes with
decals you can add to the rally.
Don't forget about your transmitter (the remote
control) - with the traxxas rally vxl you will get a
2.4
GHz transmitter. This comes standard with traxxas
products nowadays and it's good that it does.
It has
tons of programmable features, different modes and long
range capabilities, you won't be disappointed - remember
to read your instructions always!
The chassis is made after the
Traxxas E-Revo so you
know you're getting quality stuff here.
So if you're like me... you're wondering where the
power comes from in the Rally. It's an electric beast so
you get the Velineon brushless power system
(engine). Ok
ok enough already we want to know how this baby performs
yeah? Let's check out some traxxas rally videos so you
can see this bad boy in action!
Fast Baby!
Pro's
Actually looks pretty big for 1/16th scale
Super quick
accelerates very fast off the line
Great for drifting, turns and 360's.
The motor is very powerful
Looks pretty slick with the ken block gymkhana body
Waterproof for you peeps that ride in the water.
50 % throttle mode - so if you're just starting out
in the hobby you don't risk damaging the traxxas rally.
2.4 GHz Transmitter - need I say more?
Con's
If you're brand new the maintenance could be a bit
of trouble. Check out our
