Finished the car over the weekend, mixture of oldish electrics. Still prefer the feel of brushed motors
Will give it a couple of runs before running next Sunday at an out door winter series meet
Excuse the paint, just a quick blow over so I can run

Visited one of the LHS last Wednesday and saw a whole bunch of guys I knew from BITD racing. I knew instantly that I had to get back in so I bought a Slash since SC truck is the biggest class. I like the looks of the HPI and would of course love an...

Maybe this is an odd question but I'm really trying to figure out what I should do. So here's the story, I bought a TRX-1 off ebay for what I felt was a good price. It as a couple small things I want (wing wire, buttons, etc.) But after that I...

This is a dumb question coming from me, but I can't seem to find it. What the heck is the TRX3/TCP body part number?

Thanks!

These trucks are a blast!!!Super Rooster and 2 batts in mine.Mike's is about the same with a rebel 2.Put on a set of 2.2 rpm revolvers with Yokohame Geolandars.Lifted the reat body mount and put spacers under the front mounts and the clearance is...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Well it's been a long, long wait, but today I was finally able to give my son (and myself) a Traxxas Slash for Christmas. It nearly wiped out all of my Buggy Champ/Sand Scorcher savings, but it's totally worth it.

Now I...

This build was originally inspired by a readers ride in RCCA. I added a Proline Baja Bug body (short version) not the short course one. Also some side guards for the inside were fabbed up as well as the rear body mount. I dug up some NIP 2.2 Proline...

Here are my Trx-1.
The car are in very good condition,only raced on carpet a few times.

//U.p

Hoping someone can help out.I need to find out what bag J consisted of in the SRT kit.I'm hoping somebody has either an assembly manual or some sort of parts list that may show it. :?

Hi guy's.ive been reading alot here for the past week's...it's time i post some stuff.here's my TRX1.it's not as clean as some but it's good enought for me.
i used to raced one in 1992-93 and like all racer i'd sold the car to get the next...

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail ... (Thin Lizzy). A Texas song for a Texas Car ( I know, I know it's from overseas :roll: ). I always listen to music when I am creating. What do you guys listen to when building? Anyways, I felt this was an...

Finally, here are some pics of some of The Squadron .

One Car is a runner, the other while not mint, is the shelf, or at the moment cupboard queen....

As per usual, original bodies are like chickens teeth. The runner gets the privilege of a bandit...

does anyone know if the bullet arms will fit the trx1? hobby shop has some, and i cant size them since i didnt get the trx1 in the mail yet, anyone have them handy to compare or maybe know part numbers?

There is a Blue Eagle on local auction site....are these rare?..this one is in very good condition..anybody got any pics of the body?

Just managed to score a REVO.
WOW.
I noticed the rear suspension ws sloppy and thought I'd have to buy new pivot balls,or uprights,but all I need to do is tighten them! HA! :D

Here's where I need some help-do I use any lube on the pivot balls?
If...

does anybody here have a 1/16 slash. theirs a new track to race at near me they only race 1/16 & 1/18 scale. I was looking at the new asc, but I dont like the fact they dumped the shaft for a belt, so I am leanning twards the slash. what do you...

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering if anyone has tried crush tubes in the TRX-1 rear hubs.

I find the rear wheels tend to bind if done up too tight.

I took my Slash out with a couple for friends for a quick spin.

A few pics of my old Slash that I have since traded, I wanted to move it to make room for the new 4x4 Slash. I put a lot of work into it the time I've owned it, brushless, FLM front arms, RPM gear cover, RPM rear arms, alloy shocks, Pro-Line wheels...

I have a TRX 1 that I intend to run through the winter here in the UK.
What I would like is a good base starting point : ie
Shocks, what pistons front and rear
what wt oils and springs, although the spings I have are not coloured
what length shock...

This is my first RC video, I used a traxxas so I guess it goes here.
I love to beat the snot out of my RCs sometimes so I might as well get it on video before I seriously brake something.
..................anyways, enjoy!

If for no other reason, I have to get a Slash to plant one of these on it....

Check out the Baja Bug video..

There is just something too cool about a Baja that can fly.

Decent used condition. needs a good cleaning, batt strap and rear shock tower. I also just noticed the shocks are backwards.

im on a hunt for a rc i once wanted. double decker chassis, made out of that white fiberglass stuff you see on the rc500.
stadium truck style, long a arms, transmission had a circle on it, kida bulky looking i think.

any one got pics of this, or am...

After reading through some of the posts in this section I have decided I would like to get my hands on a new built or near new built TRX-1 car.
Ive always liked the looks of this car with its wide yet sleak aerodynamic body and I can remember them...

This was another one that I managed to get done over this past weekend. I think this car is totally under-rated. I love how this thing goes together. Quality of the parts, I think, are superior to Associated and Losi. I like the plated hinge pins...

Hello
Here is my traxxas bullet before restauration. I have find some news parts like a chassis to restaure it. :mrgreen:

Nearly some photos of the finding parts.

I have yet to do a step build and post, and after talking to James this weekend, I figured now would be the best time....

I got this car about 6 months ago. 90% of the car was there NIP with a few missing pieces. I had to source a diff which wasn't...

I think I have everything to complete the kit. Just have to start building it.

going for the slash .

Hi Guys,

I recall back in the day when racing the TRX-1, MIP cvd's were available.

I have a TRX-1 at the moment and would like to fit or adapt cvd's to it.

Does anyone know of the required length, or if a current MIP kit would suit.

Hi every body, this is my TRX 1 in black and RCPS body, I must clean the car and resend some pics.
PRP.

Starting to biuld NIB a radicator kit that I have. My question is are any rims avialible to replace the pink rims in this kit. I want to keep it as original as I can but the pink rims just don't get it. I see that tower has some white rims for the...

I need to know what was the original rear shock tower looks like. The one on my car is aluminium and looks kinda home made. Thanks!

Anyone have scans of these? I picked up a blue eagle roller, and would like to see the manual.

my TRX1 manual is long gone, got mushed up in a wet basement incident.

shoot me a PM or whatever....

thanks!!

I picked this up several months ago but i haven't started doing anything with it yet due to a multitude of other projects bot RC and non-RC related. I have some great ideas though! I like this car since it was the first Traxxas buggy and came RTR, a...

My Nitro Rustler ran away from me at full throttle,after the crystal in thew rx vibrated loose...It hit a parked car's front tire head on and cartwheeled for a few metres,before landing on it's roof with the throttle screaming...So,I decided to make...

Here is a pic of my Vintage Traxxas Hawk with a Custom Painted Chevy 1954 Truck Body. Everyone check it out and let me know what you all think of this truck????

the plastic drive axles. does anyone know of any replacement axles for this kit . the plastic ones look a little weak.

Here's a little Video of my, now sold, Traxxas Bullet Bettle Bala de Plata

sorry for the crappy editing and quality, but you get the idea :mrgreen:

There are tons of picture in my Tamiya Page:

I think its awesome!!! LMK what you think about it:

I have a new TCP I am getting ready to build. The car I have is missing the slipper assembly, so my question is this:

1. Would you run the stock slipper (still available new) to maintain the box stock form?
2. Will the Losi Hydradrive fit under the...

Long story short- My wife, kid and I go to a birthday party at my wife’s cousin’s house. “Cousin Eddie” as we call him(because that’s his name) and I are in the garage looking at 4-wheelers when I notice a Stampede in the corner. They have 70 acres...

I have had this car since 1990 ish I raced for Traxxas in the early 90's and had a blast,Thats when offroad was fun..Loose dirt rules!!!!!! 8)

Well, thanks to Asa, I have my one and only Traxxas Vintage racer.... It is a Traxxas TRX-1 in excellent condition... He had replaced quite a few of the white nylon parts before parting with it, so there is not a whole lot left to do to it. I have a...

the stock setup is crap and ive been messing with different setups and i cant seems to find a good setup. Can anyone help?

I dont want to keep jacking the other thread, so here is my 2 slashes painted up....

Do any of the other cars in traxxases line up share the same gear box halves? (part # 2791 on the TRX1). I have found no other matching part #s. Just wondering if maybe there is another part # for the same pieces from another kit?

I didn't see any threads about the Rustler so I figured I'd start one.

When I got my old buggies out over two years ago I wanted to try something 'modern' but didn't have much of a budget. I scored an XL-1 Rustler for under $100 shipped not knowing...
