Vintage Traxxas Villain EX 31 RC Racing Boat Twin Motor 14.4V Project/Parts

  

INSPECTOR'S SUMMARY: Grade B (Project/Legacy Condition). This mechanical specimen is a vintage Traxxas Villain EX, a high-performance deep-V racing boat from the early 2000s. &####128269; Technical Audit & Inventory. Object Type: RC Racing Boat (Deep-V Hull). Model: Villain EX (Item #4106).

Power System: Twin Titan 550 Marine Fan-Cooled Motors. ESC: Traxxas EVX Marine 14.4V (Dual Battery Input). Steering: Dual steerable outdrives with metal propellers. Cooling: Factory water-cooling coils installed on both motors. &####128269; Condition Audit (The "Inspector's Eye"). The ABS plastic hull is solid with no cracks or punctures. Minor "dock rash" and scuffs consistent with age are present. Graphics/Decals: Minor peeling/wear on the "Villain" and "V12" decals, specifically near the bow (see high-res photos).

Mechanicals: Outdrives move freely; propellers show a vintage patina but are structurally sound. Missing Components (CRITICAL): No Transmitter (Remote Control) included. No Batteries (Requires two 7.2V NiMH packs).

Top Deck/Cockpit is present but may require fresh seals for 100% water-tightness. Up for audit is a legend of the water: the Traxxas Villain EX. It features the exclusive 14.4-volt twin-motor system that made this model a favorite for hobbyists. Internally, the wiring is tidy, and the EVX Marine Speed Control remains mounted and ready for a new power source. The boat has been upgraded with metal propellers for better bite in the water. This is an ideal "Save-a-Classic" project for an RC enthusiast or a fantastic display piece for a collector of vintage Traxxas marine tech. The boat will be secured in its original factory box (which shows some shelf wear) and then over-boxed with high-density padding to protect the outdrives and hull during transit. &####128269; [SCALE] Vintage RC Craft.
