    Drove my XO-1 today for maybe the eight time and alls well

    I drove my car today and all is well drives great
    A few notes: I remember at first my car would not track straight but it was very cold
    Outside a I was wondering why . Since then it has almost been 50 degree weather and
    I have not had that problem anymore.

    I thought my wheel bearing was bad after the first run but one of my hex pins and
    That thing goes in the middle of the wheel was to tight, can't remember what it's call but
    One of the traxxas guys put it on a exploded view in one of the forums.

    The car was buttoming out when I hit the brakes my first run but I just adjusted the front
    Springs and no more problems. I know a lot of guys like to upgrade stuff but it works really
    Good without changing a thing. I have not had any fender benders and the car is spotless
    But I have had a few spin outs which was a huge problem in the cold weather.

    I know now this is just not a drive whenever car it has to be the right conditions or it's going to
    Be a bad day for the driver. I have a lot of high end rc cars and trucks and I am very satisfied
    With the purchase of my XO-1, Nice job Traxxas

    I see what you saying but it all comes down to user responsibility . You know if I buy a brushless e revo in the winter and drive it on snow and end up frying the esc that's my fault. Experts only means more that just our driving skills

    I totally agree, it's just a fact though that there is a bad reputation growing from people who are not as expert as they think they are buying these things and crashing them in winter/cold conditions. I can't help but wonder what impact it would have had on Traxxas' rep. if they'd released it in the summer when grip levels are higher.

    Yea I fell you but one thing I noticed is I know some people personally who talked about the car so bad and soon as one of them got one, after selling most of his stuff now it's the best thing on the planet lol so I think alot of it is because some people can't
    Afford it or just look at it like traxxas has ruined there rc life by releasing the next level of rc.
    People know what it is with Traxxas but they just choose to hate because that's just the way it is with some folks, I will never understand. For example I
    Remember when the summit came out and I got one, most of the guys who crawl hated it
    because they said it was not a
    Crawler but at the same time I could crawl better and still push pull or climb over their little
    trucks no problem. I have had a few
    Guys not like me for my purchase of the summit and my buddy has been down talking my XO-1 but hey it is what it is
