Our Verdict
100 mph. Not a typo. The XO-1 is the fastest production RTR RC car ever made, and it's genuinely not safe in the wrong hands. AWD, aerodynamic downforce body, full telemetry, Traxxas Stability Management. You need real space, real skill, and real respect for what 100 mph means at RC scale.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +100 mph, the fastest production RTR RC car you can buy
- +AWD with Traxxas Stability Management for (some) control

- +Sealed electronics even at triple-digit speeds
Cons
- -Premium price before you add two 4S packs on top
- -Genuinely dangerous, not an exaggeration
- -Pavement only (0.59" clearance)
- -Maintenance costs are high when things go wrong at 100 mph
- -You'll run out of road before you run out of speed
