Traxxas 7012X Body, 1/16 Slash, Prographix

Traxxas, founded in 1986, introduced a groundbreaking concept in the RC hobby world - the fully assembled, hobby-class R/C car. This new approach offered all the benefits of a traditional hobby-class kit, including replaceable parts, hop-ups, and a high-quality component radio system, but with the added convenience of a pre-assembled, colorful body, ready to run right out of the box. To describe this new class of RC vehicles, Traxxas coined the term "Ready-To-Run" (RTR).

Recognizing that the RTR concept would appeal to entry-level beginners, Traxxas set up a toll-free customer support line from the very beginning to cater to this entirely new category of hobby consumers. At first, the acceptance of the RTR concept was slow, as traditional R/C kits had always been unassembled. However, once people realized that a Traxxas RTR offered the same performance and quality as the traditional R/C kits, with the added benefit of being pre-built, the ready-to-run car quickly became a runaway hit. Nonetheless, Traxxas continued to offer a kit version for those who still desired the building experience.

Traxxas has since grown to become the number-one selling name in RTR nitro and electric models for the past four years. The company has been instrumental in advancing the RTR category, leveraging innovative thinking and fun designs to make it easier for anyone to get started in the RC hobby. Truly, Traxxas is the fastest name in Radio Control.

To get the most out of your Traxxas RTR vehicles, the company recommends using Traxxas stock and hop-up replacement parts. These parts are made from high-quality materials and are designed for lasting performance. Consult your user's manual for the exact parts listings compatible with your specific Traxxas RC vehicle.
