Description

Make waves with the Traxxas DCB M41 Widebody, a 40-inch RC catamaran that captures the look and performance of the full-size legend from Dave’s Custom Boats. Designed for speed and stability, the M41 utilises a twin-hull catamaran design. This wide stance reduces hydrodynamic resistance, allowing the boat to get moving almost immediately and stay planted even in choppy water. Whether you are blasting across a lake or cruising the shoreline, the M41 offers a driving experience that is both fast and precise.

At the heart of this machine is the Velineon VXL-6s Marine brushless power system. The Velineon 540XL motor features a unique water-cooling jacket that routes water directly around the can, keeping temps low run after run. When paired with two 3S LiPo batteries (sold separately), this setup unlocks furious acceleration and top speeds exceeding 80 km/h. The power is managed by the Traxxas TQi radio system equipped with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), which works in the background to correct the boat's line without limiting throttle, giving you total confidence at high speeds.

Traxxas has engineered the M41 for convenience as well as performance. The rigid ABS hull features a unique Quick-Release Power Module that contains the motor, ESC, and receiver in one removable unit, making maintenance and cleaning simple. High-quality blue-anodised aluminium hardware, including the rudder and drive strut, provides sharp handling and superior corrosion resistance.

The Traxxas M41 Widebody is a large-scale, high-voltage speed machine—grab your LiPos and hit the water!

Traxxas Stability Management TSM Assist System

TSM acts like a helping hand to manage brutal 6S power during maximum acceleration and top-speed runs. Adjust the assistance from 0% to 100% directly from your transmitter. It ensures your 1016mm (40") catamaran remains stable and predictable, allowing you to focus on high-speed passes across the water without losing control.

Precision Widebody Catamaran 1016mm (40") Hull

This accurately rendered replica DCB M41 hull provides incredible stability at speeds over 80.5km/h (50mph). Engineered for performance, the precision-designed widebody catamaran remains fast and planted on the water. Built-in foam flotation makes it virtually unsinkable, giving you the confidence to push this massive boat to its absolute limit with total peace of mind.

VXL-6s Marine ESC and Velineon 540XL Power System

Designed for 6S LiPo power, the VXL-6s Marine ESC transforms 22+ volts into blistering 80.5km/h (50mph)+ speeds. It features integrated water cooling and thermal protection. The 1800kV Velineon 540XL motor uses high-temperature neodymium magnets and a precision-balanced rotor to deliver maximum power and efficiency, providing incredible reliability across all your high-speed marine applications.

Fully Waterproof Electronics and Sealed Receiver

Traxxas electronics are fully waterproof to handle the toughest marine environments. The speed control, high-torque servo, and receiver all feature rugged protection for dependable operation. A patented waterproof receiver box with a blue O-ring seal keeps your radio gear dry while allowing easy access for maintenance without compromising its watertight properties during aggressive water sessions.

Machined Aluminium and Stainless Steel Hardware

The rudder, support, and drive strut are machined from 6000-series aluminium alloy for maximum strength. Dual trim tabs are die-cut from stainless steel to resist corrosion and enhance stability. This rigid hardware setup allows for razor-sharp handling and efficient power transfer, ensuring your 1016mm (40") catamaran tracks perfectly and handles predictably at extreme speeds.

Efficient Quick-Release Flex Cable Drive System

The M41 features an efficient flex cable drive system that mounts securely to the rigid internal structure. A clamping collet holds the cable tightly, ensuring smooth power transfer from the motor. Maintenance is simple with the quick-release design, allowing the prop and flex cable to slide out easily for cleaning and lubrication to keep your boat in peak form.

TQi 2.4GHz Radio System with Traxxas Link Feature

The high-output TQi radio system provides superior range and precision control. It is Traxxas Link enabled, allowing you to add an optional wireless module to monitor battery voltage, temperature, and speed on your smartphone. The transmitter also features a multi-function knob to adjust TSM assistance levels while you are on the water for a personalised driving experience.

Integrated Water Cooling with Sealed Motor Jacket

A pickup in the aluminium rudder sends cooling water directly to the ESC and motor. A sealed motor jacket flows water around the aluminium can for maximum heat transfer. This efficient design keeps your 6S electronics cool during intense runs, providing trouble-free performance and allowing you to stay on the water longer without worrying about thermal overload.

Detailed Cockpit and Bold Factory-Applied Graphics

Traxxas has faithfully reproduced the DCB M41 cockpit with incredible attention to detail, including gauges, seats, and a steering wheel. The boat makes a bold visual statement with vibrant factory-applied graphics that require no painting. It is a complete work of high-performance art that looks just as fast as it flies across the lake.

I bought this mainly because of its open cockpit style and great graphics - the boat does look good and I'm happy from that perspective. The engineering is not so great with a plastic prop, bend-adjust trim tabs, hopeless flexible cooling jacket for the motor that always leaks, and a poorly designed hatch with just a pull-pin aft to secure it, no rubber seal and virtually impossible to tape-seal. I'll be fitting a Boat Bitz upgrade kit which will overcome most of those issues.
