E391: When Is A Traxxas Not A Traxxas?

Published: 14/11/24
In this latest episode I share my frustration with an auction purchase doesn’t go to plan. To find out why, why not join me. There’s also sneak peaks at the FTX Evo30 and a mint Rising Storm from Tamiya.

Man that really sucks about the Rad2, I hope you can get some if not all your money back. You got a great deal on the Rising Storm, that should be a fun one and makes up for the bummer deal a bit! Looking forward to seeing the beemer running around, it is a sharp looking car! Take care Andy and have a great rest of your week!

I feel so gutted for you about the Traxxas Rad2 mate, I can't believe that someone has done that! They may not have realised what was in the box I suppose, but it seems unlikely. Hope you get it sorted!!

What a bummer on the Rad2 Traxxas 😢 I like the paint job on the Rising Storm 😮 Take care, Andy 👍🤝

Cant believe the rad 2 😮 hope you get sorted out Andy 🤞 oh man, i love the Gravel hound, its proof that you can race on a budget, im gonna try and get some better diffs, it like to spin out a wheel when driven hard. But out the box i was very impressed. Look forward to seeing yours out on the track 👍

sorry to hear about this, man!
I recently dug out my traxxas rad 2 from 30 yrs ago... I added a new lipo battery and motor and it is quick! it's in nearly mint condition - does anyone know what one of these is worth? I don't think I'd sell, as I'm full of nostalgia for it, just curious. I have the box and all paperwork... 3 day later update.... my son just smashed the front end ...now trying to rebuild😢

Hope race the bimner.

Traxxas should make the rad2 again.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

I’m not sure Traxxas are interested in the vintage re re market , would be nice though

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Maybe I’ll give it ago round the track , but we shall see it’s not really legal for racing in any of our classes at the club

[@bradkalman2353]

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Unfortunately they're not but they should be cause they could make even more money.

[@peterd5627]

Wow I’ve still got mine which i’ve restored just need stickers/decals. Would you be willing to sell the box and Rad 2 sticker sheet

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Peter are you UK based? If I was to sell it on all the Traxxas stuff will go together with the box as it’s no good to me currently

[@peterd5627]

@ hi Andy I’m in the uk
