BOOO....traxxas has a new site and took down the legacy info

Post by jwscab »

Traxxas updated the site, and much like associated, got rid of a bunch of stuff, but TOTALLY removed the legacy stuff....grrrrrr!

at least we can still get some stuff from associated, though much reduced.....

just FYI....

Before all the files completely disappear, I'd suggest an email to Traxxas requesting the pdfs. That way someone can maintain the legacy info-- maybe even post them in the scans section.
Personally, the last of my vintage Traxxas items are in the BST. :wink:
The preceding contained opinions, beliefs and thoughts that all may not agree with. No offense was intended at any point. Carry on.

This reminds me of when you call customer service. You get a real voice saying "Your call is important to us, please hold and we will assist you in the order your call was received." Then a computerized voice says "Hold time is 34 minutes".
