The
Traxxas Villain EX sets the new benchmark in electric deep-V
performance. Powered by dual motors and a 14+ volt electronic speed
control, it streaks across the water at speeds that are capable of
embarrassing even some nitro boats. The Villain EX is engineered to be
fast, smooth, stable, and reliable; all the perfect ingredients for fun
R/C boating. The Villain EX is fully assembled and Ready-To-Race®, so
you're ready for action just minutes out of the box.
FAST
The Villain EX uses a water-cooled marine version of our powerful EVX-2
electronic speed control. At low speeds, the fully proportional EVX-2
Marine ESC allows precise dockside maneuvering in forward and reverse.
Lay on the throttle and the EVX-2 pushes over 14-volts of power from
two battery packs into the twin Titan® 550 Marine fan-cooled motors.
The EVX-2 Marine is designed and manufactured by Traxxas to ensure the
highest level of quality and support. Now includes Traxxas High-Current
Connectors!
The quest for ultimate speed began with the battery connector. As
today’s batteries store more and more energy inside their cells,
traditional battery connectors became a roadblock, unable to deliver
all the energy the battery is capable of outputting. The new Traxxas
High-Current Connector opens the door for unrestricted current flow.
SMOOTH
The Villain EX is equipped with a new propeller design. These new
surface-piercing propellers are engineered to operate with speed and
efficiency using full-size boat technology. The propellers are
counter-rotating to prevent torque roll and eliminate the need for
drag-inducing trim tabs. The dual, steerable outdrives direct the
propeller's thrust for ultra-precise steering response. The trim angle
of the outdrives can be adjusted to change how high the bow rides in
the water.
STABLE
Some boat designs, such as hydros, require that the water be
glass-smooth to run or a small wave will catch the sponson and flip the
boat. In the real world, the wind blows and water gets choppy. The
Villain EX can run in rough water that leaves hydros and other designs
back at the dock. The Villain EX utilizes a proven 31-inch deep-V hull
design that slices through rough, choppy water with ease. The proper
weight balance and low center of gravity help keep it upright providing
unsurpassed stability. Molded strakes in the hull, along with the
counter-rotating propellers, allow higher turning speeds.
RELIABLE
Usually, one of the biggest challenges for electric boat enthusiasts is
keeping the electronics dry. Not so with the Villain EX. It's quipped
with a sealed radio box to prevent water from damaging the sensitive
electronics. Everything is encased, even the steering servo. The
plastic cover uses a Twist Lock® fastener for easy access and positive
sealing against the rubber gasket. There are no flimsy, taped-down
hatches to bother with. You can count on the performance from the
tough, molded ABS hull and durable, proven drivetrain. The BEC circuit
in the electronic speed control maintains steering control, even when
the batteries are nearly discharged. Built-in foam flotation provides
extra security by keeping the Villain EX afloat if it should ever
accidentally flip over. |
