Traxxas Bullet

[rroodd]

Not really a Traxxas guy, but I can't stop looking at this picture I have in a magazine, of the 'Traxxas Bullet'. Looks awesome I reckon. Does anyone have one of these..? Are the wheels really aluminium, or just chrme plastic..? Would love to know more about these if anyone has any info....??

Cheers,

Rod

hello.......i have one on ebay ending today.....mine doesnt have the original body though......and mine has the traxxas hop up chassy and shock towers......the rims are plastic satin aluminum....

the car appears to have been based of the original rc10....in stock form i think its pretty heavy......looks cool with all the gold and i like the body

Rod, What do you want to know? I have quite a few of them, both stock and with some hop ups. First, no, the wheels are not really aluminum. They look close, and SEES made a set of alloy wheels that are close. the bottom line is it really is very close to the RC-10 in a lot of ways. Alot of people say it is a carbon copy. One of the big differences is that it has an upper chassis deck. I will try to find some time to take some pics and post them if you like.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any other information, jlschu@sbcglobal.net

BTW, I am looking for NIP Bullet bodies and also a Radicator, either NIB or New Built. Anyone?

Thanks!

Jay

Thanks Jay !! Very informative. I figured they must have been at least a bit competitive, because that photo in the magazine...wow, they just look awesome, and ready to race..

What about the "Sledghammer" on the same ad page,...you got one of them too..?? They look like a mean truck....

I had two Sledges NIB, but they have been sold for about a year now (I cannot really seem to get into the Monster Truck thing). All of the early Traxxas cars are hard to find and there really is not a big following for them, so if you can find them, sometimes that can be cheap. If you need parts for any of the early Traxxas cars, I might be able to help.

I alot of people think they are copies of the RC10. as I mentioned. Quite honestly, they are, but aren't all the racers of that period. The RC10 really changed the racing world and set the benchmark. I don't really care, I say, just as in ALMS (which I am a big follower), the more then marrier!!!!!!! I like diversity, keeps things interesting.

If you like the Bullet, you should do some research on the TRX-1 and TRX-3.... they are great too!

Let me know if you are looking for anything specific.

I will take some pics of one of my bullets this week. I need to update my showroom anyways.

Hi Jay - Have you got a white chassis tub for a hawk?

[Razer]

DO any of you guys with the graphite Bullet chassis have a copy of the instruction sheet that you could scan & email to me? I'm not certain whether I have all of the parts for the battery hold-downs or not.

I have a couple Sledgehammers in my showroom (and they are for sale).

I also have a used white Hawk chassis tub. I'll put a pic in my showroom for anyone interested.

[Gruntfuggly]

I'd be interested in the chassis tub if it's in reasonable nick...

[mrlexan]

Sorry Grunt, Don't have one currently, but will let you know if I see one.

Razer, go here: http://www.traxxas.com/support/legacy_models.htm . That should help you ID the parts you are missing. Hope it helps.

Razer sorry but i had computer troubles right after recieving your email....the parts your missing are two fiberglass straps..and 4 threaded screws with lock nuts....i dont have the part numbers for them.email me again if you need the direction sheet still......i first got to find it......then i need to install my program to scan it for you.......i can get around to it this weekened

[Razer]

I have the straps, but I'm pretty sure I have the wrong screws (they're all different, lol). Please send the instruction sheet to rockrazer@gmail.com when you have time. Thanks!

Sledgehammer was one of the first trucks I owned (white chassis).

Great little truck for the money. A year or so ago I had some spending money and was looking at some NIB ones on ebay for a runner , never picked one up despite nice prices.

Thanks Jay !! Looks nice ! I love the way the body shell sweeps up to blend into the rear wing...

Cool to see the old ad.

I'm looking at NIB partially built Bullet - any idea of what it's worth?

Thanks,

Rob
