Talk:Traxxas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
traxxas first started their campaign of evil and destruction in the year 1966. The heasquaters was in okinawa japan. This japanese company then moved to america for one purpose: to annoy americans and then the world. They began making such anoying products like the traxxas mud tracker which was basicly a push bike with big wheels, and an engine, which constantly fell apart. This was a good attempt at their goal, but it just wasnt good enough. They sold themselves as an american country which began building a range of minature monster trucks in a 1/10 scale such as the t-maxx, along with some others. These are still on the market today, and they constantly fall apart meaning you have to buy new bits which are "stronger" and more expensive. These also break leaving any owner very, very pissed off. Fact
~Stephen~
It's true that the vehicles benifit from stronger aftermarket parts, but using the stock replacements is more than adquate to keep the vehicle running at the original performance level. Hobby level RC cars should be viewed in the same light as full size off-road trucks and buggies. They can survive much harder abuse, relatively, than their real-world counterparts. They should not be expected to survive the level of abuse common to toys from companies like Tyco. You get speed, performance, and maintainability as trade-off for durability and low cost.

[edit] Blatant POV
Can't belive I actually read this but before I edited it this article said:
"Their nitro powered models have better performance, and compete better against other manufacturers."
Anyone actually involved in the hobby will know this is completly untrue and is at the very least an issue of hot debate, including it in the arcticle as fact is out of order.

Why were the references to ultimatetraxxas.com removed? It's extremely relevant to the customizing and use of the products.
---Danny I agree, also www.therczone.com gives great sources and here is another pic of a tmaxx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ttothemaxx2.jpg#filelinks
