Oh yeah there also was an Eagle and and an Eagle Expert.

I own 2 used Radicator Experts

I have a pair of eagles, neither has a trans like that one. I never really researched to see if there was more than one.

If you have a different tranny then you more than likely have a few Blue Eagle, or Blue Eagle LS trucks. Traxxas evolved the Eagle pretty quickly when they were focused on racing about the time those trucks came out.

i got bored today, so i got the body trimmed and mounted (sorry if you wanted it jay). i'm not exactly sure how i want to paint it. i thought about painting it like the truck that won traxxas their first national championship. but, i only can find one pic and it's not the best.

i thought about that, but i know what will happen. i'll get it done and a real nice pic of the truck will surface, and it'll be nothing like the way i sprayed it.

to be honest, the body in the pic i have looks like one of those "rush jobs" where the person only had a couple of colors to choose from, a roll of cheap masking tape, no artistic ability, and sprayed it in his hotel room the night before the race. it's kinda ugly lookin'....... :shock:

mine came with the same ones. i guess the TRX-T Graphite decals on the boxart didn't make it into the production kit.

I was never a big TRX fan nor a truck one, but that one looks fantastic Jason, I'm anxious to see the body painted!
