Re: traxxas funny car
A tube chassis and some bespoke electrics. This will be cool and will no doubt be an awesome model for customisation. Nice one Traxxas! 

Do, or do not! There is no 'try'!

Re: traxxas funny car
bad part is that the radio is also a lil too complicated for that target audience. Traxxas is heading back to the am radio route for quite a few of their models...

Re: traxxas funny car
I was wondering - Does traxxas have a financial stake in RCCA? I know one of the former "reporters" went to work as Marketing or PR boss for traxxas or something like this.... but given the amount of infomercials from RCCA that relate to traxxas and their overall bias, this cannot just be a "normal" advertising program...
