same iwish they would do a retro color change for a year all the models that have been around for 20 years should get the orginal color schemes just one year
My dad brought me home a tamiya wild one in the late 80s. Got me hooked I'm 40 now and have a old Traxxas rustler 2wd . My 3 boys have brushed hsp cars so they can practice, there now ready for brushless and I'm getting them Traxxas bandits on 2s. Passing on the rc tradition.
My parents got me a stampede kit not knowing it needed a motor and transmitter. Took a month or two until I got the electronics. I still played with it pushing it off jumps. I was hooked on traxxas after I got electronics. Still a loyal Traxxas customer. Keep it up Traxxas.
Great vide. I do remember selling 4techs I think right before the Tmaxx came out. there was the Nitro Hawk (think Street Hawk and Nitro Buggy. then the nitro sport. Then nitro Rustler, and Nitro Stampede and they went with the new TRX15. Rustler/Stampede and Bandit were still mechanical Speed controls and transitioning over to electric when I Started working at Hobby Shack in 1998. 4tech. Remember when T-maxxs came in tons of people bought them. no one knew how to tune them. or fix them. and always wanted to spend tons of money on shiny parts.
I still have my TRX-3 and Monster Buggy, might research that beast. Had an LS-II (still have the body in box art graphics) and also the NitroHawk (what nightmare to run that was).
I remember my first traxxas RC was the nitro hawk in the mid 90's I was a kyosho guy prior to that. I just bought my son his first RC car for his birthday this coming Monday a traxxas rigid unlimited desert racer. Traxxas are the best RC cars around. Thanks for the video.
It seams like many people started getting into traxxas around the late 90's glad to see the hobby growing and being passed to the next generation. Thanks for watching :)
My first RC was a tamaiya hump back monster beetle, I currently have a Nitro Rustler that was given to me to give me something to occupy my time after heart surgery, and I love it, it is heavily modified now, lol.
I had my original Tmaxx up until a few years ago when I sold it. I do miss that thing some times, then I look over at my Xmaxx and smile at just how big the thing is.
Been Building and Bashing since I was a kid in the 80s and 90s!! Came along way from the Radio Shack day...😄 All Traxxas needs now is a Scale Lowrider! Either a 50s style Bomb, or a Mini Truck Style.....no one could stand a chance!!!!!
I have driven the trx1 on a track in 1995 it drove really good. I had a couple of traxxas myself the bandit from 2001 and know I have a bandit vxl on 2s
i didnt really get into rc until about 2013. i am still blown away with the power and speed you get with lipo and brushless motors. i didnt know about the little drone and chopper
I still have two of the Bullets. One I raced & occasionally won a few races & another I built but never raced. Still like new! Probably give it to the grandkids one day.
Good video. You mentioned one of my friends in the video, but they spelled his name wrong in the racing results all those years ago, we used to always joke with him about it. It's John Walters. I used to also race a Traxxas TRX-1 and Blue Eagle LS. They were competitive cars with just a couple of modifications, compared to other brands needing many mods to compete. It's a shame that Traxxas has abandoned the racing market.
Great video! It needs a new chapter now. One that includes the copyright lawsuit they brought against WB for their name "HBO Max" infringing on their ip "X Maxx" and serving cease and desists to people making hop ups for their trucks.
My RC list since I was 11 years old: Traxxas Slash 2wd brushed (Christmas '09) Used Traxxas Slash 4x4 VXL (April '13) Losi 5ive-t 29cc RTR AVC (Aug '16) WPL B36 6x6 (December '20) I may not have owned many but Traxxas was and still is a excellent place to start you RC hobby life. Much love.
Love it. My first kit was a Rustler back in the 90's. That, the Bandit, and the Stampede were all readily available as kits back then as well. I bought bearings and the XL-5 ESC right out of the gate. Good times!
My 1at Rc was nikko & now I graduated to traxxas what a difference it made the experience with traxxas is amazing more realistic models I own the traxxas bandit & the traxxas rustler these Rcs are my daily drivers & I personally wanna thank traxxas for your amazing work craftsmanship on these killer Rcs & yes yall Rock & team traxxas keep em comin in 2022 👊🏁🏁
Forgot to mention in the early 90s, they made an on road truck that was rolled put during the same time when the Bandit and Rustled was released. I believe it was called Spirit
This was a fun trip down memory lane. I've bought a lot from Traxxas over the decades ... Sledgehammer, Stampede, Nitro-Stampede, Villian boat, E-Maxx, Slash VXL and Slash 4x4. Before that I owned a LaTrax Corvette, which I think has some heritage back to Traxxas. My next Traxxas toy will probably be the new Sledge! :-)
My dad still has his 2002 stampedes that I have 2 of running and the other for parts. We have a lot of other traxxas old vehicles too like the first t-maxx and the hawk. Wow time fly’s
Epic video. Traxxas rules👍 my first gen Slash & E-Maxx testify. And now we got the next sensation! TRX4! A pure technical marvel. I bought a Chevrolet K5 BLAZER and its an ANIMAL!👹
In the mid-late 90's my neighbor got a Bandit and I've been hooked since. Traxxas isn't my favorite manufacturer but they have done alot for the hobby and making it affordable for beginners..
This is a awesome video about Traxxas. I was a little kid in 89 and had a Traxxas Hawk 2. All of my friends had Team Associated and Losi RC cars and trucks, at that time Traxxas was the underdog. Fast forward to present day and now the the underdog is the big dog!!! Great story loved the video 👏 #TeamTraxxas
The nitro 4-tec was my second but first road car belt driven all-wheel drive to speed transmission 70 mph I loved it but I still had my first truck the Clood buster now it's scale crawlers But I love it all 💪💪💪
Interesting video, shame they didn’t keep a top line racing buggy. But buggy racing on the whole died back during the mid 90’s. I still race a TRx3 in vintage events today.
I LOVED this!! You did such a great job putting this together- very well done! I didn't get started with Traxxas till the first edition of the Emaxx- I was unaware of anything Traxxas before that time period so it was interesting to see the early part of Traxxas. They sure do rule the bashing world- although I think Arrma is pushing to take the segment. I do have a question, how did you get all that old footage of Traxxas vehicles? That was sweet. At the end of the video in the credits you mention that you were able to pull this footage off of You Tube, but how did you do that?
also I remember watching those old game shows on Nickelodeon as a kid seeing them advertising at Traxxas bandit is one of the showcase prizes lol also great video by the way.
I remember the TRX-1 was representative of the “graphite revolution”. It started when many RC10 owners upgraded their stock chassis to aftermarket graphite replacements. Then Losi released the first car with a stock graphite chassis - the JRX2. Then Traxxas and other manufacturers followed in Lodi’s footsteps.
Cool video, I own a Stampede VXL 4x4, a Slash C10 Chevy Drag truck and I just got my new XO-1 today. I also have the new Losi Grave Digger. Thinking about getting the X-MaxX Ultimate next. I wish they would bring out mor drag cars, Like the Plymouth Superbird, Hemi Cuda, etc!!
Traxxas generally ends up being hated by a fairly large percentage of hobbyists. Why? Just look at their recent actions in the market. Picking on the little players. Traxxas will never see another red cent from me!
I had my first rc in the 80s but don't think it was a TRAXXAS. I didn't stay in the hobby and found it again in 2015 with the Traxxas bandit I got from a co worker and haven't looked back since then i have had two rustlers and a jlb cheetah21101 and 3 drones Good times
I miss those early 2000’s tricolor bodies
same iwish they would do a retro color change for a year all the models that have been around for 20 years should get the orginal color schemes just one year
I just got my hands on a classic stampede ‘ram’ body.
hi C L E L C...
'
what model with 3colors bodys
I miss everything from then hahq
My dad brought me home a tamiya wild one in the late 80s. Got me hooked I'm 40 now and have a old Traxxas rustler 2wd . My 3 boys have brushed hsp cars so they can practice, there now ready for brushless and I'm getting them Traxxas bandits on 2s. Passing on the rc tradition.

You should try other brands when you get another rc
I have had lots of other brands but traxxas is my favourite. They take a beating. Traxxas forever !!!
I wish they would go back to making the FUNNY CAR !!.. that thing is awesome !
Traxxas was my first hobby grade but the best part about Traxxas is you can build one without using a single Traxxas part.
not true anymore! Traxxas is bullying all the little players out of the market with cease and desist orders.
Its just whatever brand of parts you bought then....I don't understand your point...
Big flaw something will have to have a part number for Traxxas because u said u can build a Traxxas without using a single Traxxas part
Not true
Great vide. I do remember selling 4techs I think right before the Tmaxx came out. there was the Nitro Hawk (think Street Hawk and Nitro Buggy. then the nitro sport.

Awesome video, makes me proud to say I only own traxxas. (4-tec 2.0 GT, 4s Maxx, bandit brushed, Full aluminum Rustler 2wd VXL shelf king)
Ah, The Traxxas Stampede, my favourite car
My first RC was a tamaiya hump back monster beetle, I currently have a Nitro Rustler that was given to me to give me something to occupy my time after heart surgery, and I love it, it is heavily modified now, lol.
I had my original Tmaxx up until a few years ago when I sold it. I do miss that thing some times, then I look over at my Xmaxx and smile at just how big the thing is.
Hey bro! T-maxx Tony is here, and I learned something, Thank you!>

Absolutely the best, I love my TRX4 and my X-MAXX.
Glad you liked the video! :)
Lol same here I got a xmaxx and a trx4 and is the best of both worlds
Me too. I do appreciate my Outcast 8s big block beast also.
I had a Cat and a Bullet ... wow Im old
I remember they promoted the Bullet by claiming that it beat a bunch of RC10s and Ultimas in a race.
I still have two of the Bullets. One I raced & occasionally won a few races & another I built but never raced. Still like new! Probably give it to the grandkids one day.
Traxxas is my favorite hobby grade RC brand. I love my mini slash, and I’m currently turning it into a high speed vehicle.
I picked up my rc habit/addiction during the pandemic. The Bigfoot got me hooked!
Good video. You mentioned one of my friends in the video, but they spelled his name wrong in the racing results all those years ago, we used to always joke with him about it. It's John Walters.

Yes it is a shame. I wish Traxxas would get back in the rc racing market.

I may not have owned many but Traxxas was and still is a excellent place to start you RC hobby life. Much love.
Soooo many memories. Good memories. Tks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
exactly what I had been searching for. Great video!
Love it. My first kit was a Rustler back in the 90's. That, the Bandit, and the Stampede were all readily available as kits back then as well. I bought bearings and the XL-5 ESC right out of the gate. Good times!
Another good video. Seeing how traxxas has progressed is pretty exciting and makes me wonder what they will come up with next
Definitely a market shaper!
Rtr commercial airplanes 😂😂
I hope they make a 1/6 trx4 to compete with axial's scx6
Oh sure they progressed…… As being the most greedy and shitty RC company in terms of how to do things to stay “on top”.
Awesome video learned a bit now I want to collect vintage traxxas lol, thanks for that !!
My 1at Rc was nikko & now I graduated to traxxas what a difference it made the experience with traxxas is amazing more realistic models I own the traxxas bandit & the traxxas rustler these Rcs are my daily drivers & I personally wanna thank traxxas for your amazing work craftsmanship on these killer Rcs & yes yall Rock & team traxxas keep em comin in 2022 👊🏁🏁

Yep, purple white and orange. I loved mine.
And the street spot, and 4tec
Definitely an awesome video you should definitely do another video in the future talking about the history of RC cars
I have Traxxas Ken Block (it was limited edition 10 years back in time) and i still love it
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Bucharest Romania!
This was a fun trip down memory lane. I've bought a lot from Traxxas over the decades ... Sledgehammer, Stampede, Nitro-Stampede, Villian boat, E-Maxx, Slash VXL and Slash 4x4.

Love my vintage rustler 💯
My dad still has his 2002 stampedes that I have 2 of running and the other for parts. We have a lot of other traxxas old vehicles too like the first
t-maxx and the hawk. Wow time fly’s
Great video. lol after watching this video i charged up my slash 4x4 and went out bashing.
Nice lol
Great video!! Thanks for sharing
Very cool video thank you ! I love the Rc hobby and community 🇺🇸

Love my trx4 sport. Bought it at the traxxas store here in North Texas. Truly and amazing place
I am a huge Traxxas fan..love their Cars
Very well produced, glad I watched. Very good job man
Thank you glad you liked it :)
Now we have the Crawlers. I have several.

Great video, brought back so many memories, how time flies!
loved that bud you killed it!! god bless
I have two T to Emaxx conversions and a full aluminum extended Emaxx (shelf queen) with an Xmaxx power system. Traxxas is good stuff.
Great video, lots of stuff I didn't know in this production!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
A few years back I sold back to Traxxas one of there prototype buggies still new in the box. It was when they were still in a suite address in texas
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you soooooo much for this!
Great video Cole!! Lot of info!
In the mid-late 90's my neighbor got a Bandit and I've been hooked since.
Traxxas isn't my favorite manufacturer but they have done alot for the hobby and making it affordable for beginners..
Awesome thank you for putting this together. I actually learned something
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
What a cool vid! Nice work!
Thanks!
Good content here man! Never knew the history of the company that I enjoy their products like crazy!
Wow! Remember reading the add for the .15 T-Maxx in an RC Car Action years ago in a hobby shop that’s no longer there. Simple times
This is a awesome video about Traxxas. I was a little kid in 89 and had a Traxxas Hawk 2. All of my friends had Team Associated and Losi RC cars and trucks, at that time Traxxas was the underdog. Fast forward to present day and now the the underdog is the big dog!!! Great story loved the video 👏 #TeamTraxxas
Awesome video I think that it should have more views because it is super good. The cars have come a long way.
Thank you! Hopefully it will get more views at some point lol
You did a good job getting all the traxxas cars
The nitro 4-tec was my second but first road car belt driven all-wheel drive to speed transmission 70 mph I loved it but I still had my first truck the Clood buster now it's scale crawlers But I love it all 💪💪💪
Cool video, however some gaps I feel happened towards the end of the history lesson.. quite a few missed models.. hoping for a sequel.
Well done. Thanks!
Interesting video, shame they didn’t keep a top line racing buggy. But buggy racing on the whole died back during the mid 90’s.
I still race a TRx3 in vintage events today.

I think there was an option with the kits on the team associated
Awsome video!
Love this video! Great info and awesome action shots!
Thankyou for sharing..
Cool video, I own a Stampede VXL 4x4, a Slash C10 Chevy Drag truck and I just got my new XO-1 today. I also have the new Losi Grave Digger. Thinking about getting the X-MaxX Ultimate next. I wish they would bring out mor drag cars, Like the Plymouth Superbird, Hemi Cuda, etc!!
Awesome video guys, i really love watching the history of rc products, and this was no exception. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it! :)
That was very interesting and well done thanks for sharing I love traxxas
Thank you glad you enjoyed it! :)
One word says it all!
TRAXXAS 😎
My first was a Traxxas as well still running them to this day
Awesome, thx for making this video.
Np glad you liked it :)
Great information and video. One thing not touched on was the Traxxas Buggy 1/5 gas car think was made about 1995 thru 8
I have a traxxas s-maxx 2.5R nitro and it's awesome.
Great video!! I love it!! Very informative. 👍🏼
Would love to get my hands on these classic looking for sledgehammer and many more to name 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
thanks for the video nice update hope you also bring us History of Team associated.
Pretty cool video.
Had the Nitro Hawk back in the day...totally forgot about the Sledgehammer, man I wanted one of those so bad lol
Traxxas generally ends up being hated by a fairly large percentage of hobbyists. Why? Just look at their recent actions in the market. Picking on the little players. Traxxas will never see another red cent from me!
Nice video kid, real nice.
Informative video. I just mis the part that one of their current main activities is suing their competitors, slowing down the innovation.
😭
Damn good history report keep it up
Traxxas is hands down the BEST RC MANUFACTURER.
You must be joking 😂
Pretty cool and interesting video! Unique.
Great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video dude! New subscriber earned!
Glad you enjoyed the video. thanks for the sub! :)
They should try racing again
The Nitro Rustler was my first Traxxas but the Kyosho Assault was my first RC.
I had my first rc in the 80s but don't think it was a TRAXXAS. I didn't stay in the hobby and found it again in 2015 with the Traxxas bandit I got from a co worker and haven't looked back since then i have had two rustlers and a jlb cheetah21101 and 3 drones Good times
Thanks for the video love traxxas
i remember when the slash came out still a awesome truck to this day
