Looks like Traxxas is doing a revamp of the Villain. Sounds sweet for a RTR.
To answer some of the questions regarding the new Villian EX boat
Hopefully this will clear up most of the questions floating around regarding the new Villian EX boat.
Model 1502: Fully assembled and ready-to-run with two-channel pistol grip radio system.
Pricing: TBA
Availability: July 2003
All-New 14.4V Power System
• 14.4 Volts from 2 battery packs.
• Twin Titan™ 550 motors.
• EVX Marine water-cooled electronic speed control.
New Villain EX Features
• Sealed electronics compartment.
• New factory props add extra mph out of the box.
• New Twist Lock™ quick access top deck.
• Stunning new graphics on die cut decals.
• Top Qualifier (TQ™) pistol-grip radio system.
• BEC system. Eliminates heavy receiver pack.
• Optional 3/16 prop shafts for aftermarket props.
Plus all the great features that have made the Villain boat series a proven winner…
• Fully assembled, ready-to-run.
• Realistic, scale design and detail.
• Adjustable trim angle.
• Fully proportional forward and reverse control.
• Dual, gear drives with adjustable 2:1 reduction.
• T6-aluminum motor plate.
• Composite-nylon motor mounts.
• Counter-rotating, surface-piercing propellers.
• Dual, steerable outdrives.
• Built-in foam flotation.
• 31-inch deep-V hull.
EVX™ Marine Water-Cooled Electronic Speed Control
The EVX Marine electronic speed control connects two 6 or 7-cell battery packs for over 14 volts of awesome power. High frequency, high-voltage operation draws less current, making the Villain EX both fast and efficient, with longer run times.
Twin Titan™ 550 Motors
The Villain EX is powered by twin, fan-cooled, Titan 550 Motors. These 14-volt, high-output Titan motors feature armatures that are 30% longer than those used in standard 540 motors.
Gear Reduction Drives
The Villain EX drive system uses dual drives, with adjustable 2:1
gear reduction. The blue-anodized, T6-aluminum motor plate and
composite-nylon motor mounts provide rock-solid mounting for the
two Titan 550 motors.
Sealed Radio Box
The sealed radio box protects the critical radio equipment and sensitive electronics from water. This helps the Villain EX to deliver many hours of trouble-free performance boating.
Twin Steerable Outdrives
The twin steerable outdrives direct the thrust from the efficient, surface-piercing propellers for instant steering response and superior control. The trim angle is adjustable to precisely tune the
Villain EX’s performance.
TQ™ Radio System
The Villain EX is a powerful, fast boat that requires a high-performance radio system. The included TQ 2-channel pistol grip
transmitter features high output for up to a quarter-mile range, electronic trim controls, servo reversing, and a low battery indicator.
