TRX-1 pedigree question - Detroit?

[Lonestar]

Hi guys

I am writing an article for my trx-1 rebuild, with some history about the car. My memory is betraying me. I have somewhere in my mind that the TRX-1 made the A at the Worlds in Detroit in 1991, in the hands of Rick Velhow. Can someone confirm this, the name/spelling of the hero who did this and possibly provide some pics?

thanks for the help

TRX-1 made A-final in 1991 worlds but in hands of Scott Montgomery. Rick was an AE-driver there.

On middle of page 2, there are couple on action pictures of A-finals and Scott's TRX-1 #4 is there with AE's and Losi's.

Ha - I knew about Scott and the Nats, I got him mixed up with an AE driver for Detroit.

Thanks for the info!

Hey I never said I was as knowledgeable as you So, sir, tell us - what is the original name of the TRX-1?

Paul

Edit - hold on, is it that "guessed" name that is the same as a future serpent onroad car?

Talon is the first name, followed by vector just before TRX-1 !

Yep, they ran into trademark problems with Talon, and Vector. I guess Eagle/Mitsubishi wanted some money for use of the name.

Wow I'm impressed by your knowledge gentlemen - Kenooze, can you drop me a quick PM (in french ) with a few lines about the name and history and the why's, and I'll make sure you get credit in the article that'll be released on Georges' site?

thanks to both,

Paul

Hi Paul,

No probs, I will try !
But if you take a look in the scan forum, I published few things about the 1991 Worlds, including the official programm.
In that one, you will be able to find a page of publicity with the "vector" annoucement .
That's collector !

I will get it scanned in, tells the history, etc. of perhaps Traxxas's only true race car. Perhaps why I have a new one on the shelf

What you really need for the full history of the TRX-1 is the December 91 and the February 92 issue, the 91 being the worlds, the 92 being the full test review with historical insite.

Luckily I have both! I will try to get them both scanned into the archive seperately.

A little teaser......
