Hi im new to nitro me and my son have just started out just looking for a bit of advise we was running traxxas tmaxx 2.5 and car cut out there was a tiny bit of fuel left and so filled up and tried starting and nothing iv tested the glow plug and its dead. Bare in mind it had been running for about 2 hours before. Just wondering if anyone on here could read my glow plug from the pictures iv tried to take best i can. Jus wondering if iv tuned it right or the just rubbish glow plugs they are HSP N4. Cheers

Hi, Im thinking of converting my fms chevy k10 to a traxxas system. Using the ecm 2.5 from the traxxas trx4m. The only thing im missing right now is the connector for the motor slot in the ecm. I cant find it online. So does anyone know what the name of this connector is?

I am trying to make my traxxas rustler 4x4 go faster the cheapest way possible because I'm not very old and have little money does anyone know what gears I should get spur and pinion I don't know what tooth count to pick

So it's been a few years since I last posted on here, or even owned an RC! Spending money on full size cars, moving to the other side of the world, life seemed to have changed... Until the idea of getting another RC popped into the back of my mind. Had a look on marketplace, there's definitely not as much choice as back home, and everything seems more expensive. I considered another Slash 4x4, probably one of my favourite RCs I've owned. However realistically, they are too big, don't fit into a normal backpack, and especially if I want to tire the dogs out and wipe one of them out (They're Frenchies, and stupid) It had to be Traxxas, specifically a Mini E-Revo, which I owned one 12 years ago. Me being young, silly and poor meant that it was only a matter of time before I realised it wasn't the best basher on 3s (absolutely ridiculous) and broke something every time I drove it, and couldn't afford to keep fixing it. Traxxas Mini E-Revo Double Backflip - 15 Mar 2010 Fast forward to last week, and a notification came up from marketplace. "Traxxas 1/16th Summit". Close enough, I could just swap the shell, wheels, rocker arms, right? Picked it up, it's well used, dirty, quite a bit of play in the knuckles, but it's a good start. Had a quick drive of it, very high centre of gravity, rolled over a few too many times then broke a front plastic diff yoke whilst making a clicking noise. Classic Traxxas things! Whilst waiting for parts, I decided to strip it down, clean everything, fit the mini erevo rockers to lower it, fit new bearings, refill the shocks and check the diffs. Both are chewed up. Delightful. Chucked it back together, shimmed the diffs, and hope they don't implode as no-one seems to have stock of them in Australia. A week later, this popped up.... $150 off Facebook. Again, not a mini e-revo, but bearing in mind that new diffs are $50 each, the electrics are well worth the rest, not to mention the gearbox and driveline components I can keep spare. Diffs are in brand new condition. More to come.... Broken stuff so far: 1x Diff output yoke 1x Driveshaft

Traxxas nitro slash 1/10th scale- boxed this comes with a pull start fitted and electric ez start set up aswell. 2x ez start Wands (one wand had a fault with ignition this could be a easy fix however I bought a second. 1x Traxxas pull start 1x Traxxas controller 2.4hz 1x nitro slash car I also have 1 or 2 spare traxxas 72 teeth pinion gears. in terms of condition the car is A1 no cracks or brakes in the body of chassis starts and drives brilliantly, however this hasn’t been started in a while I did however get it running for a short period of time earlier this afternoon but it ran a little boggy so will defo need a tune. reason for the change to pull start was the wand I had at the time was faulty and couldn’t find any in stock locally however recently I was able to find one and purchased it to complete the set, I can change this over prior to sale if needed or send it with the pull start and the electric start for you to switch yourself. please don’t hesitate to get in contact I am accepting offers. postage is available at buyers expense 🙂 If you would like a video of it running please get in contact this can be arrange. £300 including postage or £280 collected

Hi all, having another clearout of parts I have all boxed away, I honestly can’t see me using any of this so might as well get some use elsewhere. I have much more stuffs to go through but can only manage a bit at a time. so first up is this lot of Traxxas Trx4 and Slash/Rally 4x4 esc’s and motors. All in excellent working order. there’s 4 Traxxas xl5’s all hv and 3s compatible, one of which comes with a Titan 21t reverse motor (taken from a 2 run old trx4) and a brushed Titan 12t motor/esc combo for a slash/rally 4x4. now I know many people think these are rubbish but I’ve never encountered a esc failure from these Trx4 esc, plus the big advantage is that you already have a output for lights and the reverse is full power (unlike the hw1060 which cuts to 1/2 power when in reverse). Finally I’d like to keep the ec3 connectors if possible, I can pop a deans on though if that’s your preference. so if we say, £25 each for the combos and £18 for the esc’s inc. postage and fees. Rc4wd gelande chassis and transfer case, was a project that never started lol. £25. Traxxas Trx4 plastics all in used but very good condition also inc. is 2 metal (red) diff covers. 2 RED METAL DIFF COVERS REMOVED AND PRICE AMENDED. £20. all my prices include signed for postage and the PayPal fees unless otherwise stated/agreed. lots more to come, will do multiple deals and prices are a guide, I don’t mind listening to any offers. would also trade for a savox 1256tg or similar also a 120a hobbywing max10 esc. thanks for taking the time to look, Gaz.

I have a few to many Traxxas items, that I don’t need, all are brand new & unused and still in original packaging, all were bought for use with TRX-4 I really shouldn’t be left alone with a credit card. P&P at cost or below depending on number of items bought. Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus 4Amp, NiMh/LiPo Fast Charger £30 (Sold) Fastrax Rubber MudFlaps and Aluminium Mounts for TRX-4 Land Rover Defender £10 (per set somehow I have 3 sets for sale) one set still available (Sold) Fastrax TRX-4 Brass BK Front Caster Block (2) £10 (Sold) Fastrax TRX-4 Brass Hex Wheel Hubs V2 3mm & 5mm £10 for both packs (Sold) Fastrax TRX-4 Alluminium Front and Rear Magnetic Body Mounts £15 (per pack, does 4 mounts, I have 2 packs) (Sold) Fastrax TRX-4 Aluminium Front Grill Set (for defender) £20 (sold) Fastrax TRX-4 Aluminium Headlight Guards (2) £5 (Sold) TRX-4 or TRX-6 Five separate different brass weight sets £30 the lot, (Sold) TRX-4 Crawler under protection, stainless steel £10 (sold)

Hi, decided to clear out some of the radio sets I’ve acquired over time. this is the newest set having been removed from a Corally Radix today, perfect to make up a rtr or just as a spare set. (Looks very much like the hpi transmitter) looking for £30 ovno all in posted recorded and inc. fees. SOLD thanks again for looking, (more to come as I work through it all…) Gaz.

Here’s my Traxxas Bandit. Love the simple yet versatile chassis which can take a bit of a hammering. Wish they wouldn’t use the grey colour plastics though.

Hopefully I’m not the only one who has an issue paying strong money for an X-Maxx stand... I was considering the T-Bone version for the X-Maxx (USD50-odd + shipping) but then decided to give it a shot myself. This was £13 all-in and took about 30mins to put together. Happy to share more details with anyone who might want to do the same for theirs!

Hi, as the clearout continues, Traxxas Trx4 tactical unit body shell. in as new condition (comes as a bare shell) looking for £40 all in posted recorded and inc. PayPal fees. thanks for looking, Gaz.

THIS HAS BEEN SOLD Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 VXL I am new to RC cars and purchased this off a friend last year. This car is far too powerful for me so I ended up purchasing a JLB Speed instead. This car has had loads of upgrades and is ready to race complete with batteries and radio. Sky RC LiPo Dual Balance Charger. (Cost £80) 4 x Turnigy 6000 MAH Batteries. (Cost £45.00 each) Upgraded Servo (Power HD 23kg, waterproof, metal gears) (Cost £50.00) EZRun 4274 Brushless Motor (Cost £80.00) Upgraded metal rods and rod ends. Upgraded shocks and springs. Traxxas Alumunium chassis brace. Wheelie bar. 6 LED light kit installed. (I fitted this myself. No soldering iron so I used hot glue. You may need to redo this.) Suspension travel limiting straps. Dust/debris net included to protect internals. Loads and loads of spare parts and tools. Also original parts included. (check the last photo) Comes with 4 batteries so you can always have a spare set available. This machine is fast. I mean seriously fast. £520. £320. I would prefer cash/bank transfer on collection as I don't think I can get a box big enough to send it by courier. EDIT.. Price drop to £320 as I need a quick sale now.

I am selling some parts from a recent upgrade that I ran on my Traxxas Rustler. They are less than 3 months old and have been used about an hour total since brand new. I upgraded to LiPo and a Brushless motor combo. The battery combo I am happy to let go for £30 and the motor/ESC combo for £65. If you want the whole lot, come and collect for £80. I'm based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Any questions, please feel free to ask.

For a Traxxas Bronco....

Well we all need something to look forward to while in lock down so here is my contribution. After hosting some pretty large bashing meets previously while supporting my local model shop I now want to throw a Slash owners meet for some grass roots racing and bashing. The event which ill class as a glorified bashing meet will include some head to head shoot out style racing with the event winner taking home nothing more than the admiration of the group and the bragging rights. This is open to all slash owners. 2wd, 4x4, stock or modified it really doesn't matter its all just for fun. This will hopefully be the first of many events launched under the banner of the RC community group I am kicking off called GRRC, Grass Roots RC. The GRRC is all about getting the most out of the RC's people own. So the date will probably be two to three weeks after the lock down is lifted and we are allowed to congregate again. Location will be in or around Wakefield West Yorkshire (numbers attending will dictate the exact location).

Hey guys! Look forward to chatting to some of you! Check out our channel if you have spare time! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkqmxz1rLH7AWXwEafnt3pg Hope everybody is keeping safe at the moment. Take care ☺️
