VILLAIN EX

Now Includes
EVX-2 Marine
Electronic Speed
Control

THE NEW BENCHMARK IN ELECTRIC DEEP-V PERFORMANCE.

Powered by dual motors and a 14+ volt electronic speed control, it streaks across the water at speeds that are
capable of embarrassing even some nitro boats.

The Villain EX is engineered to be Lay on the throttle and the EVX-2

fast, smooth, stable, and reliable; all
the perfect ingredients for fun R/C
boating. The Villain EX is fully
assembled and Ready-To-Race®, so
you're ready for action just minutes
out of the box.
FAST
The Villain EX uses a water-
cooled marine version of our powerful
EVX-2 electronic speed control. At low
speeds, the fully proportional EVX-2
Marine ESC allows precise dockside
maneuvering in forward and reverse.
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.
Now includes Traxxas High-Current
Connectors!
The quest for ultimate speed
began with the battery connector. As
today’s batteries store more and more EVX-2 Marine Electronic Speed
energy inside their cells, traditional Control
The EVX-2 Marine electronic
battery connectors became a speed control connects two 6-
roadblock, unable to deliver all cell battery packs for over 14-
volts of awesome power.

 the energy the battery is capable
of outputting. The new Traxxas High-
Current Connector opens the door for
unrestricted current flow.
SMOOTH
The Villain EX is equipped with a
new propeller design. These new
surface-piercing propellers are
engineered to operate with speed and
efficiency using full-size boat
technology. The propellers are
counter-rotating to prevent torque roll
and eliminate the need for drag-
inducing trim tabs. The dual, steerable
outdrives direct the propeller's thrust
for ultra-precise steering response.
The trim angle of the outdrives can be
adjusted to change how high the bow
rides in the water.
STABLE
Some boat designs, such as
hydros, require that the water be
glass-smooth to run or a small wave
will catch the sponson and flip the
boat. In the real world, the wind blows
and water gets choppy. The Villain EX
can run in rough water that leaves
hydros and other designs back at the
dock. The Villain EX utilizes a proven
31-inch deep-V hull design that slices
through rough, choppy water with

ease. The proper weight balance and
low center of gravity help keep it
upright providing unsurpassed
stability. Molded strakes in the hull,
FAST AND FUN
along with the counter-rotating
propellers, allow higher turning
speeds.
RELIABLE
Usually, one of the biggest
challenges for electric boat
enthusiasts is keeping the electronics
dry. 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.
There are no flimsy, taped-down
hatches to bother with. You can count
on the performance from the tough,
molded ABS hull and durable, proven
drivetrain. The BEC circuit in the
electronic speed control maintains
steering control, even when the
batteries are nearly discharged. Built-
in foam flotation provides extra
security by keeping the Villain EX
afloat if it should ever accidentally flip
over.
Twist Lock® Top Deck
Removing the top deck
is quick and easy with
the exclusive Twist
Lock® fastening system.
A simple quarter-turn
twist is all it takes
to gain fast access to
the battery and
electronics.

As was stated, this boat comes COMPLETE-less the batteries, of course. You have to put on the decals (or not). If
you're incredibly anal, use a razor knife as suggested in the directions. Otherwise, look at the box pics and give it
your best shot! I opted for the water cool option for both motors through my local hobby shop. Not terribly
complicated to install, but does take some time. I ran the boat flat out with the water cool motor kit installed and
the motors were cool enough to touch when the batteries ran down. I know from experience that RC motors and
capacitors/electronic speed controllers get so hot normally, they can burn flesh off your fingers; not with this set-up
and the motors will last much longer. My boat did porpoise some on the lake as it was set-up from the factory, but
it was fairly windy that day. I opted not to change the setting until I try it on a calmer day. My next option will be
bronze props and the appropriate kit to use them-you get more speed that way, but understand this boat screams
from factory! Very easy at first to oversteer and stall the boat, yet it doesn't fill with water or flip upside down. I'm
convinced that this is the closest to an out-of-the-box, electric screamer you can get.
