I know they aren't really vintage by our standards, but this is a very early '99 model. A friend of mine gave it to me about two years ago in a sorry state of repair, missing radio, dirty, etc. I...

though i would post up my newest fiero, it started on rc10talk as a basket case parts car and evolved into a race ready monster. the chassis is made from gp03 and everything was done with a dremal and a drill.

It's a first run second generation. The newer ones had the blue chassis and the cylinder head you have, then went to a blue cylinder head and then finally to the 2.5 series engines. The first generation ones had a brownish-purple chassis on them....

May I have a full set of nice set of chromed wheels. PM me if they can be interresting.

Yikes- I love the TRX-1 shell! It has a very cool aerodynamic look to it and looks very little like anything else.
One of my all time fav vintage buggies.
For me at least, it makes the buggy too toylike in appearance: All business underneath, all...
I think this is a Traxxas Hawk, but I could only find one picture of one that is electric. These are the only 2 pictures I have of it, since I am currently working on my RC10. This is going to be my next project, once I find out what it is, and get...

i have some hawk2 parts if you need anything... (but they are black not white.)
Never heard of this before. Read up and found Traxxas recalled them weeks after releasing them? Never to be seen again.
Taken from another forum:
I've really been eyeballing the TRX3/TCP cars lately and this caught my eye.
Last post
Yep, recalled. And to top it off its one of those 'no info available' type things. No comments from any traxxas employees about it on the traxxas board. It was either before their time or very hush, hush. Rumor was that there were some quality...
Got a killer deal on this Traxxas Summit localy! :twisted: There was absolutly no way I could pass this up!!!! (have already had offers on the truck alone to double my investment)

I am looking for some bodies for my TRX-1 and TCP resto runners.
Now on E(vil)Bay I found these listed for the TRX-1
What is the difference, I know some have expressed their frustration with Team Blue Groove bodies.

Last post
Well since this body issue , I have searched and seem to have found what that second body may be. It looks to be a clone of the Protoform Javelin from around 93'.
I must say I am extremely happy with these. Joel and I came to an equitable agreement and I got these from him today. I will admit that I spent about an hour doing some quick cleanup to see how they looked under the grime. One of these cars is very,...

Yeah the rear mounts for the RC10T would be great, they would almost look factory (in white nylon).
Here is a buggy I bought for parts, yet I am not sure as to the model, and parts. Is it worth keeping and restoring?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Last post
Just wanted to run an update: This buggy has been passed on to another member of the forum. I have since bought a TRX1 from another person here. The Car/Truck I had posted is to be donated for a vintage build.
well i restored a sledge a while back and im getting it back soon, the guy i sold it to needs stuff and i have most of those things so were trading. the sledge was definantly one of those why'd i get rid of that?! cars. really exited to have her...

welp just put it through its paces to make sure everythings up to snuff, boy is this thing a blast to run! to heck with stampedes, the sledge is like 20,000,000 times better! and its got gold anodyzing on it, top that grey plastic!!!!! :mrgreen:...
I have a Blue Eagle that was a basket case that I put back together pretty cheaply. Someone clipped the front springs so they don't sit nicely, plus I don't think they are the right diameter.

thanks guys for the help. if I do run the SWB, can I run the stock trx1 body?
I am writing an article for my trx-1 rebuild, with some history about the car. My memory is betraying me. I have somewhere in my mind that the TRX-1 made the A at the Worlds in Detroit in 1991, in the hands of Rick Velhow. Can someone...
Last post
I will get it scanned in, tells the history, etc. of perhaps Traxxas's only true race car. Perhaps why I have a new one on the shelf :mrgreen:
What you really need for the full history of the TRX-1 is the December 91 and the February 92 issue, the...
Got this truck @ a yard sale for $10. it had the stock body still & that needed to go! So I found a nitro hawk on ebay with a VW BAJA body that Ive never seen before & bought it just for the body. I put ball bearings all the way through it. Also put...
Last post
Nice score, every RC car I find at yard sales are the cheap walmart specials. The newer body looks great on it by the way.
Here is my new body. I'm really happy with Ken's reproduction. It's nice and thick, has well-defined window lines and fits well. The only thing I noticed is the sides kind of stick out from the chassis. I think I'm going to make some kind of little...

Hey Air,
The tires are called 900027 Carson 2WD All Terrain Tyre
My understanding is that they are only sold overseas, I found a person that had them in the US NIB and got them from them. The wheels are original Traxxas Bullet.
picked this truck up for $20 with modifyed motor, duratrax esc, & stock traxxas radio equiptment. It didnt have a body so i put on this Losi body.

I don't have the name right, sorry. The version I'm referring to has a carbon chassis with angled up sides.

Great collection. I also love traxxas. Apart from my very first RC (bolink) and the XXX-T I owned briefly getting back into the hobby everything i have owned has been traxxas. I am trying myself to get a vintage TRX.

the bandit top shaft is part number 3793. It's a couple bucks in tower, you can probably pick it up at a local hobby shop that sells traxxas stuff. the shaft is 5mm, so I'm betting that it will fit no problem, but you will have to use the trx1 or...
Hey, does anybody know if it is possible to upgrade atcp (trx-3) to the current slipper design of traxxas?
And is this a real improvement or should I look for a dual-pad slipper like the madrat etc?

what part No. ??
A few guys on the Traxxas forum used a RRP blue back plate and a nitro slipper pad

The advantage of having the steering spindles adjusted with spacers is that in the low position, you can readjust your ride height with spring preload (to get back to the same ride height you had as in the high position). and your front arms will be...
