Like Mr.Ed said but maybe a rad2. not really sure if the rad came in black until the rad2 came along and 'bout the only real difference is the tranny/slipper setup. Nice lookin body on it which is definitely not a radicator/rad2 body...is that an AE sticker on the roof?

Could well be an AE on the roof, it's a current UK ebay deal if anyone wants it £55 buy it now posted with cells esc and decent motor, I just sniped another NIB TT Phoenix (B3 in other guise lol), so I can run one and not disturb my shelf queen, so no need for this one now.
its not a trx 1 . looks like a rad 2 . from what i heard the black chassis rads where sold to europe. don't hold me to that i might be wrong . i have a nib radicator in white and was told it is a u.s. version . the rad kit is based on the truck kit.
Beware of the AT10-EB - it isn't a bad deal, as you rightly spotted it's a B3 with a lower price tag but it is poorly built. I ordered one for a friend and checked it for him as it was going to be his first hobby-grade RC car and I didn't want him not to be hooked.
Among other things, rebuild the rear shocks with shims inside to limit travel, as at full droop the rear bones will hit the lower-arms. This is a perfect recipe for nosediving in jumps

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...
