Our description
The Traxxas DCB M41 is a roughly 1 m (40-inch) racing catamaran, a scale replica of Dave Hemmingson’s 41-foot offshore boat. It is powered by the water-cooled Velineon 540XL brushless motor with a VXL-6s marine ESC; on two 3S LiPos (6S total) it tops 80 km/h. The wide catamaran hull sits more firmly and efficiently on the water than a mono or deep-V hull – and it brings the first dedicated catamaran hull type to the catalog. Control is via the TQi 2.4 GHz radio with TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) for calmer tracking. Important and honest: battery and charger are NOT included – you need two LiPo packs plus a charger, which pushes follow-up costs up noticeably. And unlike the Pro Boat models the M41 is not self-righting: if a catamaran flips on a mistake or in waves it stays upside down and must be retrieved (plan for a life vest/boat hook). At over 80 km/h this is not a beginner boat but one for open, wide water and some practice. Clear plus: Traxxas has by far the best spare-parts and accessory supply – almost every part can be bought individually.
