description  Had the second run with my XO-1 today. Installed the big pinion, but car is still locked (as i have no apple device yet). Car is locked at 92,9 KM/H and does not go faster (as speed is limited). Car runs very stable at 90 KM/H. Speed limitation is very annoying, have to get an IPOD touch next week for unlocking. Got an unpainted Body for the car which colour should i choose 1) black PS-5 2) silver PS-36 3) light blue PS-3 4) white PS-1 ?

Nice to hear you've got an app-opener now I'd love to see an action video of this car going at speed!

At around 57-58 mph thats still pretty quick by my reckoning lol.

There has to be be someone (semi)-locally willing and able to help you out (as long as you promise not to drive in their street at 160kp/h) That said, if you have to buy an Apple device for it, so be it... If the older generation iPod touch run the software you can get your car to it's top speed for roughly 75 euros... You could consider that cheap for an extra 60 kp/h, and for that money you might even want to keep the iPod and it's app? (on a few youtube videos it seemed like a pretty extensive piece of software)

no my frieds all do not like apple products, so this is not an option

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be too surprised if you need the device in there constantly to have it unlocked. Anyway, doesn't one of your friends have an iPod/Pad/Phone/SomePhing else you can borrow to get it unlocked?

It seems that it's built into the ESC... You basicly have to confirm at Traxxas that you understand the risks and know you're responsible for any damage/harm done with the car. I'd search around a bit on a few forums as there are quite a lot of people who are trying to get around using an Apple device I don't know if you have a Smartphone at all (for one, I don't), but perhaps there is a way to use the app on another smartphone or device to activate/unlock the top speed?

Will 1) get a used ipod touch on ebay 2) Unlock the xo-1 3) sell a used ipod touch on ebay think this is the cheapest and quickest solution

Are you sure there is no hack/crack to solve this without sponsoring Apple? For example a different 2.4Ghz transmitter? It could be cheaper than an iPod touch as well (because you can then sell this one)...
