INTRODUCTION
Traxxas Slash 1 10 4x4
Traxxas
Known as the fastest name in radio control, the Traxxas brand came to life in 1986 and is still going strong today, turning out industry leading radio control products from their facilty in McKinney Texas.
Over the years the innovative mindset of the company has propelled them forward as an RC industry
leader.
In 1989 Traxxas took another step forward, and extended their lineup from land based RC models to off-shore fun, as the entered the RC boating world.
After their success with a number of RTR electric models plans were made to roll out the first RTR nitro truck. The Nitro Hawk was released in 1992 and was extremely successful, and opened the gate for a whole new crowd of nitro enthusiasts.
But Traxxas did not stop there, a few years later in 1999 the T-Maxx was rolled out, and on board the beast was the latest innovative technology that would forever change the RC world.
The T-Maxx housed the first nitro engine with a real forward and reverse transmission, controlled by the driver with a 3 channel radio system.
The lineup of Ready to Race models at Traxxas have excelled with amazing designs, features, and outstanding performance.
No company is complete without customer support, and at Traxxas I have found out for myself, that they are committed to backing their parts and products with a knowledgeable team, ready to assist and deal with any questions or problems you may encounter.
