Traxxas SUCKS
 
i have a nitro sport. It never has run right, and now my slipper, and Ez start are broken. What a POS!
Needless to say it is in the trash now.

The nitro sport is a piece of junk, but that doesn't mean all Traxxas cars are garbage. I'll pay you $25 to take that nitro sport out of the trash and send it to me.

Yup should have gone with a HPI firestorm or a team associated rc, but insted i got a POS nitro sport, what was i thinking.

It's pretty naive to base your opinion of a company on an experience with one of the company's most dated and cheapest platforms.

Well i really don't want to buy another product from traxxas ever again. Based on the experiance that i've had, it sucks. I was also really mad when i wrote this

COOL, somebody that I can agree with. Even my local hobby shop refuses to sell anything fromTraxxas.
I , also, will never buy anything from them!!!

What do you like least about Traxxas, how easy stuff breaks on them, or the inabability for their nitro engines to actually run, and preform.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../msn/48_48.gif</p>

Every company makes at least one really pathetic vehicle, and that's one of them.

Always owned a Traxxas from back when they first came out with a onroad truck electric lime 27 turn lol to my new slash vxl 4x4. Always the best only other Rc I has was a hpi savage 4.6.

I can agree with that. So since i've allready discoverd a crappy product form a sopposedly good company, then what are some other RCs that really suck from big companies like losi, hpi and team associated, cause I really don't want to buy another really crappy product.

The pro15 is one of the most indestructible engines ever made... maybe you should try breaking the thing in properly.

rc awesome 12-08-2010 05:18 PM

RE: Traxxas SUCKS
 


It never has blown up it just doesn't run right. BTW i broke it in the right way, and insted of breaking it in for 4 tanks, i did it for 6.</p>

Just ask for opinions before buying something. You get what you pay for too. The cheapest stuff from almost every company is sub par.

<div>ill take the other side of that bet.
at the urging of a friend who kept claiming that the slash wasnew and better and how traxxas had really stepped up the game on this one andblah blah blah i drove one. after 10 minutes i wanted to stomp a mud hole in its roof and set it on fire. wordscan not describe my hatred for that truck. i have had a dislike for short course trucks sense</div>

whoopee 12-08-2010 06:35 PM

RE: Traxxas SUCKS
 
ill tell you what i got a traxxas t-maxx 2.5 as my first hobby quality rc. it made me mad a plenty and wished i hadnt got it a couple times but it was tough as all and that little 2.5 went 8+ gallons before it slung the rod and that was with me that never had it tuned right allways to lean or rich then i rebuilt it and went another 5+ gallons!! now i have got me another maxx truck t-maxx 2.5r from stormerhobbies.com and am happy i got another traxxas.
I would recommend a t-maxx to any one wantin a glow powered monster truck!! IMO its a pretty great little truck it would even be better if traxxas would offer a big block conversion for it!
 
Whoopee

but still all of the problems that i've had with it doesn't make me think very highly of Traxxas. They just SUCK

i would pay $30 for you to ship it to me! a nitro sport was my 1st rc. it was a pain, stuff broke often and the motor was a @$#% to keep a tune....but it still holds a special place in my heart.

to get a good nitro truck, you have to pony up some big $$$.

traxxas is like microsoft and intel. they make such junk it keeps LOTS of tech guys working. just remember a new jato is $360. not $600. sometimes you get what you pay for. dont get me wrong i have a t-maxx, 16 mo old, and a jato 12 mo old, and a jato 6 days old my sons. but if i was to go racing, or jump 6 ft jumps i would NOT have a traxxas. also traxxas thinks they can tell you to not do drugs, alcohol, tobacco, just check there forum rules. note i said they are TELLING you. thank you i just turned 62 and i already have a momy

You act like you are 6.2 years old...

We get it you hate traxxas forums... Pretty sick of seeing that "momy" BS posted everytime someone mentions traxxas (BTW its "mommy" ;))

After 62 years you should at least have learned to spell, or use spell check...

Mabey its not the product but the user that is the problem? ive hadE maxx /T maxx /S maxx / Revo and have never had any major problems with any of them.
People are always quick to blame the product for the problem but are never willing to concider that mabey they are the one a faut. Improper carbneedle setting /slipper settings for the surface there running on etc etc.

If you are gonna say the vehicle sucks show some manfacturing defects or somthing that proves its the RC at fault and not YOUR lack of skills.

+1 on that. Nitro seems much tougher to start out with than something electric. Maybe the OPshould have got something like a stampede or rustler for his first truck. Probably would have had better luck.

RE: Traxxas SUCKS
 
a nitro sport? they still sell those? agreed that those are the worst r/c traxxas has ever spawned, you get what you pay for.

however traxxas is making leaps in quality, except for a couple cars, they are not built to be top performers, but are built to be user friendly and rugged. you really shouldve bought a t-maxx, stampede, rustler or a slash Short course.

bottom line is everyone makes stinkers, you bought the worst

lessen learned? do your homework.

first traxxas was a rustler, pre xl1, I was harder on this thing than any other RC before or since and only ever broke a castor block 2 or 3 times, and finally stripped an idler when I put way too much power to it... then a .15 pro maxx, had some problems with tuning but I did buy it used, then a 2.5 Tmaxx and it was awesome and ran great with tons of power, then the first EVX E maxx. again it was awesome and very strong, I drove it off cliffs all the time, even though it was landing in sand i was a 10 foot cliff and didnt always land on its wheels... I did have RPM arms and shock towers all around as well as skid plates.

Traxxas is TRASH!!They put the same rigs out with little to no change's minus bodies..HOW MANY 1/16 EREVO MOCKS CAN YOU PUT OUT?The slash the great slash if it was so great why does everyone upgrade to non traxxas parts hmmm?Or better yet convert to a 1/8 buggy?IM NOT A FAN OF ANY ONE COMPANY JUST OWNED MANY,MANY RC'S AND TRAXXAS ARE CRAP IN MY MIND!!

did you read the last line he wrote or just stopped where he wrote it was strong. "I did have RPM arms and shock towers all around as well as skid plates." I'm sure that's what made it strong in his case ;)

I NEVER EVER had a problem with any thing I bought from Traxxis,1,2,3,gen T-maxxs,nitro Rustler and a few sport boats for the kids.Well I have been doing this since to mid 80s,but some people just dont have the patients that these little nitro motors need. Good luck with your NEXT adventure into nitrodum!!! You'll find that sweet spot keep on keepin on!!!http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../thumbs_up.gif

I had a traxxas nitro rustler about 4 years ago.  I beat the crap outta that thing, replaced a few parts here and there and beat the crap out of it even harder.  Engine was great...if you knew what you were doing.  I actually got that thing up to full speed and jumped it over my moms silverado.  Amazingly, it was stil in one piece.  I would buy another one right now if I had the money.  That truck was fun.

traxxas sells more RTR rc's than anyone. so, naturally there are gonna be more haters who either got a dud, or who dont know how to run/maintain a rc.

can you say you cleaned the car after every run or was it just filled up and ran in all conditions with no care for it.

RE: Traxxas SUCKS
 
My friend had an old Nitro Rustler, same exact thing as the Nitro Sport, just an engine that's way worse than what's in yours. We got that sucker to come to life again after years of no operation, good job Traxxas :D
