I wanted that thing when I first saw it. I used to dream about getting it when it first came out, too bad it was a few years later and my kit was a T2 (which I still have.)
Nice find! If you find another in good shape, let me know!

You know you guys can find out part numbers here, this a very good source of info (if you are into Traxxas stuff):

I have Traxxas tires, not rims. The card looks new, can't be OEM. #1770 spiked rears.
jay, does that car have the same trans/motor plate that the blue eagle ls2 had? reason i ask is because i have a new gear cover for one if somebody needs one.
I recently received a Traxxas project car and I had questions about the differences / similarities between the TRX-1, TRX-3 & Blue Eagle transmissions. Based on pictures I've seen, the trans that's currently in the car is from a blue...

The TRX-1 case has 'TRX' molded into it on the side opposite the motor plate whereas the TRX-3 case does not.
The TRX-3 trans also has a slightly lower CG due to the diff gear being closer to the chassis. I mean literaly you can almost see it...
So I had enough parts lying around and I decided F it, I'm going to build another one. Here are some pics, I am not going to use everything in the obligatory money shot parts pile. But it will be pretty much built from new parts with some other...

OK so I was thinking about taking this in a different direction. I picked up a 2628X off the one deal. Realized after it shipped that it is for use with the 2629X long wheel base chassis. So now I want to make a LWB TRX-3 with a Lethal Weapon and...
So I am having a revision here and am rebuilding this TRX-1. So far I've got the transmission rebuilt and I pressed on a steel top gear. It was a little notchy so I beveled the idler gear slightly and ran the trans in with a drill. It spins...

Just messing around. I want to set this thing up for carpet off road . I was putting together my version of the TCP wide front configuration (the arms are impossible to find).
So the TRX-1 front can run short TRX-3 arms, regular long 1931s, and...
I always knew I'd be adding the TRX-1 to my RC family, but I didnt expect to get one now. My neighbor got this in trade, and hes not interested in vintage RC so I traded him a few things for it...
Although its in good condition, its got some...

Good info..thanks guys. There is a diff rebuild kit for the Blue Eagle LS on ebay right now. Will it work for this TRX1? If so Id rather buy the kit instead of having to hunt down all the items I need.
Here are a few pics of my other TRX-1 builds. One is almost complete. Still looking for parts to finish up.

Isn't there a non-rare alternative like using black or used parts just to put together a racer that represents the functional aspect of the TRX-1?
there is that alternative but some of the guys around here that have some of the most impressive cars...
Many years ago I remember this car being releaed onto the racing scene and I always wanted to learn more about them or even own one.
It is well known these cars have a long wheelbase but it seems like these is a lot of caster built in also. The word...

my TRX3 is still missing the white bumper..... :cry:
I've been getting back into the hobby this summer after a 20 year hiatus when my daughter spotted my box of RC cars on a shelf in my woodshop. After a couple of father/daughter afternoons spent cleaning parts and assessing wear, I put...

Exactly. The leading edge of the sidewalls is cut straight up with a 90-degree edge, while the trailing edge has a more typical front forward curved edge cut. If it was cut more like the one in the last TRX-1 box picture, with the front edge cut...
