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 are 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 can break.

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.
This is a Ford -vs- Chevy debate.
[edit] External links
I don't get why links just get removed without any consent. Wedginator.com is a legit site with a lot of pictures and information on traxxas trucks. Especially on the Jato, T-Maxx and Revo. Just check out the picture galleries. There are so many tutorials which makes the information very useful. Wedginator 23:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I did read that section. Here's what I found that should be linked: "Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site if any. An article about a book, a musical score, or some other media should link to a site hosting a copy of the work if none of the "Links normally to be avoided" criteria apply. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons. Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews."
I beleive the websites that are on the article now follow all those guidelines so it should stay. Wedginator 01:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I suggest it might be best if you take a wikibreak and reread the relevant policies that multiple editors have encouraged you to read, especially WP:COI and WP:SPAM. --Ronz 02:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Traxxas nitro models have som issues, but the E-Maxx is a very reliable and fun electric! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.161.146.1 (talk) 02:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
