can you limit the speed for younger children (50% power like the rustler)?

Yes, you can limit the speed. the button to turn on the truck is part of the ESC (electronic Speed Contorller). there is a LED (light) next to the button. the instructions tell you how to put the speed controller into one of 3 moded. training, racing, or normal. Just read the instructions first. I believe training is 50% power.

We have 5 Traxxas vehicles and the 50% speed is controlled from the controller, so it makes it nice but these cars are really too much for 5year old kids. The burst of speed is tricky and can injure a young kid.

Yes you can. The Traxxas Ford F150 has a training mode, which places the vehicle at 1/2 power

It isn't enough for two. Our little boy loves it though! So does dad! One thing though, when it moves it goes full speed right away and kind of scares our boy with the jerky states. Once he's moving along though he really likes it. He likes playing in it when he's not riding in it too. All in all it is great!! It does have two speed settings and we are still on the slow one.

No but, it's top speed is only 2.5mph and the wheels have resistance when not "in the throttle" so as soon as the throttle is no longer being pushed, it only takes about 6 inches to come to a stop. Unless your child is heading down the side of a mountain, the lack of a brake really won't be an issue.

My 5 year old granddaughter loves it and I understand it works well. I'm not sure about the speed because I haven't seen it in person. This was a Christmas gift last year.

I have two children under five-years-old and they do not sit still. I can get great shots of them running and moving with both the Full Auto mode and the Action mode.

Yes you can you just can't control the speed on this unit.it will do spurts or have run as long as you won't to

Have yet to try, but does give instructions and disclaimer that it will override speed limiter. I have had mine for awhile now and it is a good system. I run it all the time on 4 or performance. I also like that the system has the OBD II system and error codes will pop up as you are driving. Only one error code, not related to product. One recommendation is to set the low fuel alarm down to 6%, its annoying.

Yes, you can regulate the speed with power knob. I really enjoy this tool. I use it almost everyday in the shop.

Really not sure as this is a technical question but the machine does have a dial to control the speed. In addition to the dial, you can also control the speed by moving the machine forward or backwards. I have a 14 year old, 7 yr. old and a 3 yr old hitting off the machine and don't have a problem controlling the speed. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can. There is a switch that you use to switch it on or off. And the switch is under a locked cover, so kids can't access it.

Because it is a motor, you will not be able to get its full potential using 50 hertz power. It will still work just not at rated speed.

I bought this for my 5 year old and she has learned how to control it, although there are of course crashes (which it handles just fine). It has variable maximum speeds, so you can start with a slower maximum speed. I think this would be great for an 8 year old.

I do not believe so. My great-grandsons are 3 and 5 and they both love driving it. Hope this helps.

Yes and no. You can control how fast or slow it goes by the amount of pressure you put on the trigger. It also has a turbo speed. My daughters love them.

You can control the speed with trigger. With trigger fully depressed speed set by contoller

You can set the speed manually, or use one of the automated programs. I always adjust the speed manually. The increments are 0.1 mph.
