I guess you could look it up, that is what I would have to do if I was interested in finding out where it was located. Off hand, no I do not know where it is.

The owner of my first hobby shop worked at the factory. Sadly I lost track of him when he closed up. He said the rustler I bought used from him was a test mule for the vxl. Cool guy, I miss him. My Chinese is awful though, limited communication with the hobby shops.

RE: Where is the Traxxas factory?
iv highly thought about it. go to a short course race and slap one on there. take some pictures. or for a real challenge see if i could slap one on the traxxas sponsored race trucks over a traxxas sticker on like the nerf bars or something so when the camera cuts to that view there's an AE sticker over a traxxas sticker. that would be epic!

You could crash a Revo into a brick wall at full speed and the brick wall would need repair but not the Revo!!!

But I thought Traxxas built the fastest and strongest RC's available?? They never break! You could crash a Revo into a brick wall at full speed and the brick wall would need repair but not the Revo!!!

HA!! I could see someone building a Tamiya big rig kit and painting it to look like the Traxxas big rig.

The 'factory' is in Plano TX, I have driven past it. They do final assembly, and the production of some parts there. The cars are not entirely made over in Taiwan, only the injection molding and some stamped metal parts. The engines are also machined and assembled at the Plano plant, after the blocks and heads are cast somewhere else.

Unfortunately its easier and cheaper to have someone overseas to make parts for us. But then prices get jacked up and we pay out the ass for something that costs half as much to produce.
