Traxxas introduces the wirelessly controlled Corvette C8

If you love RC cars on the road, you’ve no doubt heard of the Traxxas and their officially licensed lineup of chassis-based vehicles known as the 4-Tec 2.0. the past and we loved the combination of speed and realism of that car.

But Traxxas isn’t a stand-alone or newer company, it’s a high-end company, and this week it revealed for the first time the new 4-Tec 3.0 chassis,

It’s brand new, bigger and better than the old in every way, and the first model to use it will be the Chevrolet Corvette C8 that has been officially licensed by Traxxas for use in its new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. This is correct ,

It has an engine called the C8, which is a mid-engined but now more chassis-compatible than the Traxxas, an amazing variant.

Corvette with realism signed by Traxxas

Let’s start with realism because Traxxas has already improved the accuracy of the gauge by adopting a new body fitting system that has no clips on the outside. That’s something we didn’t like about the Ford GT; In which the body clips looked bad and scratched the body as well, which appeared after the many uses of it.

However, it is different in the new Traxxas chassis used in the Chevrolet C8 Corvette, as it uses a system that locks the body to the chassis internally using a hidden mechanism and is released using a key under the front of the car.

The sense of realism is further enhanced by the redesign of the Corvette with its 6.2-liter V8 engine, under the rear windscreen. All we have to go on and find out now is the video, which confirms that everything from the carbon fiber body kit to the bonnet looks accurate. The wheels that come with the car also match the real thing called realism.

And in this case, we find the standard Corvette set of 19-inch five-spoke wheels. There’s even an optional lighting kit to make the headlights and brake lights work. The only unreal thing about this car is that it’s all-wheel drive rather than rear-wheel drive.

And speaking of hardware, let’s talk about the new “4-Tec 3.0” chassis. For example, it’s longer and wider than the previous 2.0 chassis, which means the C8 Corvette will be larger than the previous 4-Tec cars. This also means that the car has to handle better and be more stable at higher speeds.

And speaking of high speeds, the Corvette can achieve 30 mph out of the box with the optional gear installed, but that’s far from its full potential. A few well-chosen upgrades should easily increase the car’s final speed in excess of 50 mph.

Other than that, the “4-Tec 3.0” chassis is more and better quality than the previous 2.0 chassis, and it not only includes the shape, but also extends to its electronics, including the fully waterproof electronics, as well as the oil- filled shock absorber, And the sealed difference.

The Traxxas website says the Corvette Stingray will start at $349.99 and be available in early May. That’s a little more than what the company is striving for from its remaining 4-Tec 2.0 models — the always popular Ford GT and Mustang models sell for $309.99. Given the increased size and new features like the clip-free body on previous cars, the extra $40 extra seems to be well worth it.

Every detail of the Stingray is faithfully captured. Under the rear ‘glass’, the engine compartment shows a realistic re-creation of the 16-valve V8. Stealth black chrome wheels sparkle, and wide tires fill the rear fenders to match the muscular look of the full-size machine.

Engineering the new AWD 4-Tec 3.0 chassis from Traxxas is the perfect complement to the Corvette Stingray. Insightful design touches and precision engineering work in tandem with a low-profile “CG” configuration meaning the car gets closer to the ground.

The mid-engine configuration and fully adjustable suspension-brakes make the Corvette Traxxas Stingray exciting and capable of such a real thing.
The new 4-Tec® 3.0 body features a longer wheelbase and wider track that was specifically developed for the Corvette Stingray. In addition to ensuring accurate proportions, the longer, wider footprint improves stability and improves handling to provide steering precision and the balanced feel of the Vette’s mid-engine.

The name synonymous with American sports car excellence: Corvette. Traxxas brings him the spirit and excitement of an all-new mid-engine Corvette in tough gauge detail on the new, larger 4-Tec 3.0 chassis. The new Traxxas 4-Tec 3.0 puts supercar performance in your hands with a new long wheelbase and wide track design.

The faceted body of the Corvette Stingray and massive side ports are repeated to the millimeter. The LT2 V8 simulator can be seen under the rear hatch. Also, those original black chrome wheels fill the fenders. And now with a beautiful display – with Traxxas performance that just requires you to drive.
