The fastest name in radio control - if you have heard or read these lines then you have probably stumbled on traxxas and their 'toys for big boys' products. Based in Plano, Texas, United States, it is now the leading hobby level radio controlled model manufacturer that offers a variety of both nitro (mixed fuel) and electric powered (RC) Radio Controlled trucks and boats. One of their famous model is the tmaxx. It made its first mark in the RC industry in 1986 as the first to conceptualize an (rtr) or Ready to Run models. Basically, it was just an idea to sell fully assembled hobby level rcs that need less accessorizing. From 1987 to 1989, it began selling a series of electric trucks (Stadium and Buggy) models. While it's first, nitro or nitro methane (mixed fuel) powered models were released in 1992. While the initial issue of its most popular 'monster truck' mock-up, tmaxx, was released in 1999 was followed by highly regarded RC truck releases of the same maxx family.
The s maxx (stadium maxx), a race specified truck model of this brand, claimed the top speed of 40+mph. It was introduced in 2004, while the newer releases are configured trx 3.3 engine gained a top speed of 45+mph. In 2007, the electric version of the e maxx, was further developed and had its feature release. They continued its enhancement with the start of distribution of its brushless Edition. These releases were done together with some new features such as the 2.4 GHz radio system, Giant maxx tires, additional waterproof digital high torque steering servos, and improved graphics. After so many edition and revision from 2004 to 2008, traxxas introduced the new revo 3.3 in 2009. Which included some of the features from its electric counterpart e revo while adding the reversing transmission optidrive. The newest series of models that are currently racing their way in front of the track are the Summit. Introduced also in 2009, it shares major number of materials coming from e revo. The summit was designed for rock crawling. That's why it was engineered with 3.8 inches Geode bead lock style wheels and remote electronic locking differentials.
Newest addition to the race type rc trucks were the slayer that has claimed a top speed of 50+mph, and in the stadium models the jato series, with two speed transmission, that holds 65+mph top speed. In a more unadorned manner, Radio Controlled trucks come from two distinct type of power supply - electric and fuel. It can also be characterized by its use - on road (race or stadium type) and off road (all terrain type). Gadgets, gears and other customization are being added depending on the needs or demands of the person who has satisfaction in this kind of interest. The only common ground that they are on is the reality that even in technological advancement, the miniature world of RC will follow with the history of its innovators.
