The Traxxas Villain EX sets the new benchmark in electric deep-V performance. Powered by dual motors and a 14+ volt electronic speed control, it motors at speeds approaching even some nitro boats. Careful engineering has made the Villain EX fast, reliable, stable, and smooth; perfect for fun R/C boating. Since the Villain EX is fully assembled and Ready-To-Race®, so you're ready for action right out of the box.

FAST
The Villain EX uses a water-cooled marine version of the powerful EVX-2 electronic speed control. At low speeds, the fully proportional EVX-2 Marine ESC allows precise dockside maneuvering in forward and reverse. However, hit the throttle and the EVX-2 pushes over 14-volts of power from two battery packs into the twin Titan® 550 Marine fan-cooled motors. The EVX-2 Marine is designed and manufactured by Traxxas to ensure the highest level of quality and support.

As today's batteries store more and more energy inside their cells, traditional battery connectors became a roadblock, unable to deliver all the energy the battery is capable of outputting. The new Traxxas High-Current Connector now allows for unrestricted current flow.

STABLE
Some boat designs require that the water be extra smooth or a small wave will catch the sponson and flip the boat. In reality, the wind blows and water can be choppy. The Villain EX can run in rough water that leaves hydros and other designs berthed waiting for calmer conditions. The Villain EX utilizes a proven 31-inch deep-V hull design that eases through rough, choppy water without a problem. The proper weight balance and low center of gravity help keep it upright providing extra stability. Molded strakes in the hull, along with the counter-rotating propellers, allow higher turning speeds.

RELIABLE
Keeping the electronics dry is always something to be concerned about for electric boat enthusiasts. Not so with the Villain EX. It's quipped with a sealed radio box to prevent water from damaging the sensitive electronics. Everything is encased, even the steering servo. The plastic cover uses a Twist Lock® fastener for easy access and positive sealing against the rubber gasket. The tough, molded ABS hull and durable, proven drivetrain won't let you down . Even when the batteries are nearly discharged, the BEC circuit in the electronic speed control maintains steering control. Built-in foam flotation provides extra security by keeping the Villain EX afloat if it should ever accidentally flip over.
