Traxxas timeline?

[8rad]

Does one of our more knowledgeable Traxxas guys care to throw up a timeline for us Traxxas noobs?

I don't have any info off the top of my head, but you can visit traxxas.com and look in the legacy/discontinued section and check out the copyright dates on the manuals and drawings, that will give you an idea.

and on the old site they had a timeline but its long gone.

True, and I still cant believe they left out the time-line info when they revamped the site.

But...Using one of my favorite interesting web sites, I did find a semi working old Traxxas page that has the time-line and history still. Shows the years from 1987-2003 and still shows the little pics/names of the vehicles when you click on each year.

What about the Slash? When was that first released?

[Lonestar]

Good job Lowgear - I think you're missing the rad2 which was a rad with a trx-1 tranny, basically... I'd say 1992

Slash was released in mid-08

I copied the list from the old archived version of their site using the link that was posted. For some reason they left off models in their timeline.

I will gladly add to the list any models that are missing as long as the right year is known.

Cool, I had no idea. I knew they were/are fairly recent and quite common, so their absence in the timeline was conspicuous.
