DCB M41 Widebody (40" Catamaran/VXL-6s) - 57046-4

Command the water with 50+ MPH of massive 6S brushless power in the stunningly accurate Traxxas DCB M41 Widebody Catamaran.

Designed by Dave's Custom Boats founder Dave Hemmingson, this 40-inch twin-hull replica brings full-scale offshore racing performance straight to your local lake. Unlike traditional deep-V hulls that plow through the water, the M41’s catamaran design rides on a cushion of air, allowing it to skim across glassy ponds and heavy chop with ridiculous stability. The razor-sharp widebody footprint corners flat and bites hard, giving you total control even when you’re pushing the extreme limits of the throttle.

Under the hatch, the M41 is pure business. The Velineon 540XL marine motor and water-cooled VXL-6s ESC deliver absolutely brutal torque to the surface-piercing prop, throwing massive roosts as you accelerate. It features a rigid internal structure with a removable electronics tray, keeping the center of gravity ultra-low while making maintenance a breeze. Armed with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), this 1/10 scale speed demon stays locked in on high-speed passes without violently spinning out or rolling over.

Why You'll Love It

• Twin-Hull Catamaran Design: The massive 10.5-inch widebody stance traps air under the tunnel, lifting the hull for reduced drag, zero-lift cornering, and insane straight-line stability.
• Rigid Removable Electronics Tray: The ESC, receiver box, and steering servo bolt securely to a single internal tray that slides out in minutes, making hull cleanup and driveline maintenance incredibly fast.
• Surface-Piercing Composite Prop: Optimized specifically for the 6S powerband, it gets the 40-inch hull on plane almost instantly without cavitation, maximizing your top-end speed.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM): Electronic gyro assistance works behind the scenes to harness the brutal 6S power, keeping the hull straight and predictable during full-throttle hole shots.
