Traxxas Traxxas 7012X 1/16 Slash Prographix Body with Decal Sheet

Traxxas was started in 1986 with an idea for what was at that time an entirely new concept for a fully assembled hobby-class R/C car This new car would have all the same benefits of a hobby-class kit such as replaceable parts hop-ups and a high-quality component radio system however it would be fully assembled with a colorful body right out of the box Traxxas coined the term Ready-To-Run (RTR) to describe this new class Since a fully assembled ready-to-run car would appeal to the entry-level beginner a toll-free customer support line was set up from day one to service an entirely new category of hobby consumer At first acceptance of the RTR concept was slow because traditional R/C kits had always been unassembled Once people realized that a Traxxas RTR had the same performance and quality as the traditional R/C kits only that they didnt have to build it the ready-to-run car was a runaway hit A kit version would still be offered for those who still wanted to have the building experience
