Does one of our more knowledgeable Traxxas guys care to throw up a timeline for us Traxxas noobs?

I don't have any info off the top of my head, but you can visit traxxas.com and look in the legacy/discontinued section and check out the copyright dates on the manuals and drawings, that will give you an idea.

Cheers buddy!

Using one of my favorite interesting web sites, I found a semi working old Traxxas page that has the time-line and history still. It shows the years from 1987-2003, and still shows the little pics/names of the vehicles when you click on each one.

Check it out: http://replay.web.archive.org/20030704092124/http://www.traxxas.com/about/trx_about_history.htm

What about the Slash? When was that first released?

Good job Lowgear - I think you're missing the rad2 which was a rad with a trx-1 tranny, basically... I'd say 1992

Slash was released in mid-08

I copied the list from the old archived version of their site using the link that was posted. For some reason they left off models in their timeline.

I will gladly add to the list any models that are missing as long as the right year is known.

Thanks Lowgear!

Mods can we sticky?
