Traxxas Lineup 1990

Post by Dangeruss »

In 1990 Traxxas was busy advertising its truck line as the segment of the hobby was growing at a rapid pace:

Blue Eagle: Released in 1990 just months after the original Eagle, the Blue Eagle included all of the upgrades that allowed Tom Owens to take first place at the 1990 NORRCA Off-Road Championship. Included a .4in longer graphite chassis, bellcrank steering system (from the Traxxas Bullet), and new externally adjustable ball diff 3 gear transmission. The shocks and motor plate were also changed from gold to blue.

Hawk: brought out in 1989 the Hawk was an entry level racing truck that shared the Radicator's platform with a .25 inch longer ABS tub chassis and 4-wheel independent suspension with lower a-arms and adjustable upper camber links, ABS plastic oil filled adjustable shocks, gold anodized aluminum shock towers, bellcrank steering, and planetary transmission with high clearance gold anodized motor mount.

Sledghammer: Unleashed in 1989 the Slegehammer monster truck with its ABS tub and platform shared 4-wheel lower a-arm/upper camber link suspension, bellcrank steering, and planetary trans was beefed up with two oil filled coilover ABS shocks per corner and 1-3/4 in. lift from its alloy skid plates. Originally white & gold, it received black shocks & anodizing in 1993, then all black plastic & blue anodizing in 1997.
