Gen 1-4 Traxxas racing trucks parts Q&A

Post by TRX-1-3 »

Howdy, so I acquired a TRX-T Eagle with a Blue Eagle trans upgrade. My current thought(s) on the matter is/are:

Runner with a mix of vintage and modern/still available/compatible/equivalent parts.....

Like a TRX-SRT-T Condor or something. No Blue Falcons though. :wink:

Question: anybody know the dimensions/equivalency of the TRA 2531A Drag Slash HD Front Suspension Arms to the SRT? The part number is the same but just wondering.

Thanks
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Are the early plastic idler gears (#1996) strong or are they fairly weak?
I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

IIRC there was a white and black version of the idler. For some reason, I remember the black ones being more durable. But to tell you the truth, I never had an issue with the white ones. But I was a stock motor club racer kid.

Are you refering to the 30-T Idler GearMachined Aluminum (PN TRA1996X) ?

The original nylon idler. But yes there is also the X series aluminum.
