Hey guys been awhile since I been on the forum. I bought the all white SRT off Ebay last week.
And I was missing a few white parts. I took the white battery bar and stub axles off my TCP(they were in mint condition). I replace the transmission and...

Hey guys. Busy week. Anyways I was at the hobbyshop and found 1955r . What's confusing is they are the same as the 2555 they were selling. Maybe traxxas has some rare updated 1955r in white. Also no luck with the steering spindle in white. Also...
Ran into an someone over the holiday earlier this week who had a Traxxas Bullet. Being an ol' school AE fanboy, it first looked like someone modded the crap out of an old 6-gear, until I got the body...

nah, thats a nice example of a bone stock bullet. There wasn't much for hopups for them. Somewhere along the lines there were some rpm arms and such and I've seen some graphite chassis conversions but they didn't need much. Their downfall was the...
Hey guys. I'm looking for a new body for a resto. I picked up a pretty clean Sledgehammer on eBay and all it really needs is a body. I know Tower had them up until about a year or two ago but does anyone know where I can find a repro? Thanks!
howdy yall! got me a few new toys over the holidays and i figured this is the perfect project to use as my test bed.
first new toy is my fujifilm s4500 camera which will be my new camera for everything, has exactly the features i need to shoot rc...

unfortunately the team driver was pretty bad, we'll probably drop him before the spring season :roll:
you mean my team driver drove for you? :P .
don't give up on him so soon. Even Tom Cruise had a hard start in daysofthunder :wink:
Just picked up another project off a mate tonight for the sum of £10 which I personally thought was a bargain for a basher.
Not 100% sure what model it is but I think a TRX-3 from the mid-late 90's, hopefully someone can help me out with that one!...

I have a Mardave Cobra that I got very cheap, so maybe I will keep that for bashing!
Double lucky man! Another car I've always wanted from when they were new, I still remember the understated boxes they came in.
Just sold my Nitro Hawk to make room for other classics, but wanted to post pics as one last nod of recognition. This was my first nitro as a kid, and it had many upgrades added over the years.
- full bearings
- bearing steering
- MIP Stinger...

Is there a difference between the gearbox/trans on a bandit xl vs a vxl? my son has a xl, and i've been thinking about getting him a brushless setup for it.

Don't mind the ghetto body & paint, I need to buy a new body for this one too.

Of course. I bet it took a while to scan. Those are great articles. And you're right really shows the progression of Traxxas and what a successful company they were and why they are even more so today. I'd forgotten Vehlow tore it up with the TRX1...
IDK how I do it lol. But I'm the proud owner of a TCP now. Got it for $125 shipped!
Only thing I'm missing is the original body, wing wire(Bandits should work), the dog bones(probably nearly impossible to find) and the TCP long front...

another great TCP...still my biggest regret selling the one I had :(
Hi, New here and coming from the Traxxas vintage forum. I have a huge thread about my SRT. I'll like to share it with everyone here and show what Traxxas really had going for it. Personally, the SRT and TCP are the greatest RC vehicles ever made. I...

But in hindsight, it would probably still be sitting in the same box if I had it today.
It still is but with a few more parts added to it :wink:
You had your hands on the shock tower here lately also :mrgreen:
I am pretty new to the hobby and currently have a rusltler, pede, and 2wd slash, all electric brushed.
I am just wondering what everyone here runs in their local races?

Traxxas SRT. I sold a RC10T4.1 Factory Team with a Tekin RS Pro/7.5t setup to cover the cost for my SRT. With a few mods and suspension tuning I feel the SRT will be a better truck for my very tight indoor track and also more duarable. Plus it looks...
This is my slash platinum edition

Anyone else here running a MERV? I recently re-acquired my old mini Slash from a buddy and am in the process of turning it into a mini E-Revo. I had a lot of fun with the mini Slash but want something a bit more stable and better at bashing (huge...
Just got my first Stampede, I believe its the XL-5 (i bought it used). It has the XL-5 Esc, but I have not pulled the motor to see which one it is yet.
Any upgrade ideas? as well good places to buy from?
Last post
i had a stampede vxl. loved the truck but as soon as you would run it with a 2s or 3s lipo it would snap the axles right away. i had to buy myself some mip x cvd's the expensive ones. have fun and good luck.

It is basically a Slahs 4x4 with a low and flat chassis. That's to say, much closer to what the racing SCTs are... I'm pretty sure lots of people will buy this to put Slash bodies and wheels on it :)
Last post
Not a Delta specifically, I simply meant that it could look more like a real rally car.
When I first saw the Slash even though I couldn't tell what truck it was my first thought was Awesome! That looks like a real race truck!
there's something about some cars in particular that appeal differently to some of us - one of the cars that turns me on like crazy is the TRX-1, and like most of us here I do get excited by a mint RC10, but somehow I get really aroused...

Paul very nice cars.
I was racing an RC10 and a Losi LXT when I heard of the new Traxxas car being released. One of the local guys ended up buying one so I got a chance to see it in person. I was impressed with the car so much, I convinced my...

My son and I just go early in the morning to avoid any skaters. If any show up we just leave or pull out the skateboards and join them.
There is a sign up that says no motor vehicals but I figured this is more for the mini bikes and such.
I noticed that the tbg replicas don't have the engine area cut out. I didn't chack for this model but for 2 kyosho models earlier: 1 had a nice flat area and would be perfectly usable without cut out. the other model had an unsightly bubble thing...
When I got my first traxxas fiero when I was like 8 years old, it was a 1402, and it was used so I never saw the box, never had the manual, and never got to experience any of that. a few years later my mom made me throw it away when we moved down to...

No, I don't do any of my painting. I'm terrible at it. The paint job is from Bradley's Fine Line Design.
I have come across a jato roller for 40.00. Pretty much a deal that's almost too good to pass up. My question is does a electric conversion kit exsist for it? I am not really into nitro and don't feel like getting a new nitro motor.

well bud, for 40 bucks thats kinda a steal, lol. even f you try it with a big Trinity 550 brushed motor first;)

I got the same. Somewhere around 1/16-1/8. If it helps, the bulk and arms are the same as the Nitro Rustler, Nitro Sport, Nitro Stampede, and SRT.
I just picked up some SCT wheels and tires along with a Duratrax Evaderbody and jokingly slapped them on my Rustler. Wouldn't think it would qualify as a SCB.
Not really a build I just was messing around. I will be taking the decals off if I...

I have decided to dub it the rus' buggy. It does show my off the wall thinking. I was not even thinking of a SCB when I built it.
It is funny how the evader body just fit right on with only a little trimming to clear the steering servo link. It...
Is a Blue Eagle just an Eagle with different chassis, bellcrank steering, blue shocks and motor plate?
Are there other differences?
Last post
I took a little closer look and it also appears that the tower is longer at the bottom, so you'd have to trim it up some to make it work as well. Maybe add your own holes located somewhere in a sturdy spot in the bulkhead.
This is my bullet which I'm resto modding. I've been the only owner since it was bought for me new christmas of 1990. Wish I had a pic before I took it all apart to clean and fix. So far I've just painted the chassis underside. Some may cry...

Well, the fortunate thing is that a string of nice days may resolve this issue for me, but it is still something I may want to address for the future, or if we get more snow/ice.
What type of weight will people add to a car to get better traction?
Sorry for bad pic I pulled it off of craigslist. They look vintage and they are up for sale for $75.00. I was thinking about buying them but not sure if they are worth it

I agree with JK, nobody can tell you what tings are worth. I will pay a lot for things outers wouldn’t consider look at and vice versa. And we don’t talk so much about market value at RC10Talk.

OK, I've been totally unsuccessful in my search for a body for this car and I recently picked up another super clean but bodiless Bullet. So, has anyone experimented with available bodies to see what might fit well? I'd prefer a buggy body but...
Last post
Howdy Redscampi, how'd the bodies work out? I'm a little reluctant to pull the trigger on any $30 buggy bodies due to wheelbase and shock tower spacing differences... for instance, the body for my Traxxas Bandit is too long for my Bullet.
Having a tough time putting back my Sledgehammer, found a scanned copy of the manual but the guide on the bottom of the manual for the nut bolts and screws was cut off. any help appreciated,

That's a ground up restoration, alright--you're building it right there on the ground! :P
This new car looks pretty cool. 0-100mph in 5 seconds? That's fast. Lots of cool features in it also. molded in cooling ductwork for the motor, the builtin holder on the radio for an iphone so you have telemetry readout that looks like guages on...
