Status: offline 		i remember back in the day, i'm 25 now, but back when i was maybe 10-12, i had a fast traxx truck and my dad had the turbo bandit. i still have his turbo bandit, but it needs work. the low gear, which is the one you could do wheelies on, sounds stripped.. but the high gear, damn is that little truck fast!!!. the battery door has a broken hinge, and part of the front suspension is broken, but what a fun truck that was.. to open it up on a parking lot and listen to it take off.. those were the days...

Status: offline 		This is a shot in the dark, but I just got a Super Fast Traxx from a Goodwill Store for $5.00, but it doesn't have a tx. I was wondering if anyone has a TX they'd be willing to let go? I tried taking the circuit board out of a Terrain Twister I had laying around, but the performance was poor, and I'd kinda like my Terrain Twister back.

Another posibility is maybe I'd upgrade everything to hobby grade. The problem is that I have no experience with hobby RC's, and don't know where to start. I'd like to keep the budget low, around $100 if I can, but not sure if that's possible.


Can anyone help, or should I start a new thread, so I don't hi-Jack this one?

Status: offline 		I don't know what style of plugs the internals have, but if they're the regular plugs you could just buy a cheap AM radio (it'd be better than the stock one anyhow) and hook that up to it.  Should work fine.

Status: offline 		How would I do that? Where would I even start? I have no knowledge or RC's, and a little experience with soldering/ small electronic engineering. (I took it in Vo-Tech for 3 years back in High School 10 years ago.)

Status: offline 		Should just be plug n play.  Take the body/shell off of the Fast Traxx and find the receiver.  It'll probably be a boxy shape and it will have the antenna attatched to it.  Take it out.  Put the receiver from the new radio in and plug the servos/electronics into the new Rx.  Put 'er all back together and you should be good to go.

Status: offline 		There are no plugs, everything is soldered in. I can take pictures of it when I go home this weekend.  The Fast Traxx has only 2 drive motors, one for the left wheel and one for the right one, there are no steering servos or anything. Whats a good radio to get?

*Edit was something dumb I figgured out.

Status: offline 		I have one of the old turbo bandits and have lost the remote over the years. I would like to find a new remote so my son can play with it now that he has figured out how to control an rc car. Does any one know how to get on or have an extra they would be willing to part with?
