Behold, the mighty Traxxas Pro Scale sand car, a beast of a machine that commands a staggering price tag of over 1,300 pounds in the UK. This monster, with its ability to hit speeds exceeding 55 mph on 8s power, is not for the faint of heart. The team at Tomley RC unboxes this behemoth, showcasing its intricate details like cable-operated calipers, realistic interior, and robust suspension system. However, the car faces criticism for its plastic chrome arms that may not withstand the test of time.
Despite the initial excitement, the team encounters challenges with the sand car's front brakes locking up and its limited steering capabilities on sand. They make adjustments, including swapping to XRT wheels for improved performance on grass. The car's body suffers from splitting, and the chrome arms show signs of wear after just a few runs. While the car offers immense power and fun, it falls short in terms of practicality and durability in certain terrains.
In a bid to provide an honest assessment, the team compares the sand car to the XRT and X-Maxx models, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. They recommend the XRT model for its versatility and suggest potential fixes for the sand car's issues, such as the front brakes and cosmetic wear on the chrome arms. Despite the challenges faced, the team remains committed to sharing their experiences with the audience and even offers a chance for viewers to win the sand car, XRT, or cash prize.
