Here's my TRX1 (light) runner - pics taken before the maiden run I've shown these a few times here already but hey you asked for them

Lonestar, that TRX-1 is very nice. This is my first time seeing it and I have to say its a cherry. What does the under side look like? motor guard

Thanks for the kind words Lots of work went in this one, but at a time where most parts were available in black anyway, so not too much of a challenge either really... I doubt you speak French, but you can still have a peek at the article I wrote for a renown (in France, at least, for what it's worth ) website...

All the light/dark blue ano (shock caps + motor plate) was removed and then the metal was polished to what was intended to be a mirror finish but never quite turned like it but stayed matte instead



Motor guard is marked, like every runner's... so is the chassis, but it wasn't new in the first place (came from a donor car I bought here I think, yeaaaaars ago) and I have a few more trx1's in various state of restoration... so I don't mind running this one now the pics have been taken

yup i just saw that

weird...

gotta talk to the webmaster about why he just prevented this from happening as it was working a couple of hours ago... i guess he doesnt want any kind of hot (warm?) linking to a subset of his site

this will work:
www.overrc.com
click vintage in the left black column
then do a ctrlF on trx and click the trx1 link
sorry bout that

TRX1 gotta be the best lookin buggy out there

Here is a shot of Wendy driving her Hawk2 on the track. At first she is just bashing around and then she starts making laps.

My TCP is the little buggy in front. It's just waiting for me to finish recording.

thanks for posting. my buddy had the first hawk , he let me drive it alot and it really got me liking electric traxxas .. i had i nitro hawk and it was the biggest pile of crap in gas rc history

The nitro hawk was a pile of crap.
I have one too. Its a parts car.
The chassis was paper thin like a sheet of foil.

I want to get an SRT bad. I had a TCP years ago and have regretted selling it ever since the guy pulled out of my driveway.

Man I would kill to have a NIB one of each. I still have my old Stampede and Nitro Stampede though. I will have to post pics whenever I get them going again.

looks great! what's the motor/esc combo? part numbers?

Great looking cars!
I have a somewhat dilapidated Hawk 2 coming in the mail, hopefully I can add it here soon.
