Modified Muscle

The Titan 12T 550 modified motor pumps out incredible power with virtually maintenance-free operation and long-lasting performance. The Titan’s integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through vent tunnels molded into the motor plate to keep temperatures down. A cooler running motor equates to faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life. The XL-5 Electronic Speed Control offers high current handling, EZ-Set® one-button setup, and smooth high-frequency control. The XL-5 comes standard with three drive profiles, low voltage detection, thermal shutdown protection, and gold-plated connectors.

What is a DC Charger?

A DC charger allows you to fast-charge your 5, 6, or 7 cell (6.0 – 8,4 volt) NiMH battery from a common 12v automotive power source.

If you do not have access to an automotive power source you’ll need to add the Traxxas 2976 – AC to DC Power Supply Adapter. Or you can add our Hub Hobby Generic AC to DC Adapter. These adapters let you plug your charger into a standard AC outlet at home or the track.

Alternatively, you can buy a Traxxas EZ-Peak Fast Charger and skip the adapter altogether. This would also allow for the use of Traxxas Lipo batteries.
