by pendemic on 2010-08-23 07:41:05 UTC

by pendemic on 2010-08-23 22:26:14 UTC
This sucks but you HAVE to order everything in japanses you cant have it translated if you do it wont work. And the fee to have it shipped here is 6,380 yen which is about 60 or 70$ so now im in the process of ordering two more.
by pendemic on 2010-08-23 22:26:59 UTC
cool, i could use 2-3 baterry covers for sure,
i wrote back to see if they have a warranty or any kind of service where if something broke i could get it replaced and the lady couldnt understand what i was saying.
by pendemic on 2010-08-24 04:18:19 UTC
cool, i could use 2-3 baterry covers for sure,
just got an email today, said a warranty is guaranteed, and if i have any inquaries to contact them again. so in about a week or two ill email and say a track broke or a battery door broke and see what they say.
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-24 12:06:17 UTC
They will say send us the door, or broken track haha
by pendemic on 2010-08-24 18:46:45 UTC
lol we'll be stuck
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-24 19:38:57 UTC
Exactly
by pendemic on 2010-08-24 21:09:55 UTC
i could send them broke ones back from a different one hmmmmm
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-24 21:57:15 UTC
if the doors are the same. wait would you send me one?
by pendemic on 2010-08-24 21:58:04 UTC
im pretty sure they are, unless their like the ones on the other tyco cars.
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-24 22:09:21 UTC
if they fixed them and they are like the super fast traxx door with the metal rod as a hinge it wont ever break.
by SavedONE on 2010-08-25 04:33:20 UTC
-the issue is the 9.6v pk. has all of its wt. on the hinges & the latch. The Super Fast Traxx supports the (7.2v) pk., on that inner "shelf" above the latch.
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-25 20:47:19 UTC
they still, might have changed the style of the door, to something more structuley sound.
by performerrpm on 2010-08-26 00:30:15 UTC
i seen a couple of the new ones on youtube, they dont look to be as fast but may be its the video. guess when your new one gets here you can compare them and let us know
by pendemic on 2010-08-28 17:46:04 UTC
i finally got it
EDITED: Hey guys having a cash shortage, so i really need the money putting the fast traxx on ebay today.
by pendemic on 2010-08-28 17:52:18 UTC
My laptop was stolen from downtown the other day guys so if you see stuff on my page its not from me, i have to contact ebay to close the account asap! but as always you guys get first dibs on the fast traxx, and in 2 or 3 days ill throw it on ebay with my new user name. sorry guys :'(
by notatoy on 2010-08-28 18:25:01 UTC
so sorry to hear this news i know what its like to have things stolen from you ,a couple of years ago my out building was broken into and a bunch of tools and r/c trucks stolen and to top it of i had no insurance so had to take the loss they should hang these scum >:( >:(.. to be honest unless you realy need the cash i would keep the fast traxx .you know how hard to come buy they are i love mine and would never sell it . even though it is a old 80.s model they are such fun i whish you the best of luck my friend 
by pendemic on 2010-08-28 18:39:57 UTC
these japanese ones are easy to come by im getting another one soon i just have to wait for it. i know it sucks man i wasnt to mad, the way things are people are getting desperate i just wish they woulda at least let me save some of my pics they can have the comp if it means that much to them. does your model have a turbo mode or something? a guy asked me if mine had a turbo mode. and were these re-released, i remember them coming out in the early 90's but not after that.

[/quote i understand bro its cool you can pick up another fast traxx and you must have a very forgiving nature unlike me .lol.. . no my fast traxx does not have a turbo function it say turbo on the standerd batt what ever that means but i can tell you its plenty fast and pulls wheelies on demand with a fresh charged pack ;D
by pendemic on 2010-08-28 18:57:09 UTC
lol yea man you have to, sometimes its best to just let it go than to keep dreading and getting angry over it that doesnt solve the problem. hm thats interesting to see! i wouldnt mind seeing a cheap super fast traxx on ebay for cheap in the box ;D
by djdarkforces on 2010-08-28 19:31:18 UTC

-I notice that the new Fast Traxx has a "wire in a tube" antenna on it, & not a metal one like the orig.
-that is 9.6v, & 1/14th, right, or is that 1/10th & 7.2v(?)

by performerrpm on 2010-08-29 03:02:23 UTC

by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 03:19:52 UTC
Yes I only wanted the half, shoul be just as fast as the fast traxx. But the minis will look good.

by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 12:20:42 UTC
The guy said it's fast, so I'm hoping it will be fun. But I cant brake the treads on it haha.
Notatoy- there is a scorcher on the German eBay it's a black one, I don't think anyone has bid, you need to tra slate it to understand it though.

by notatoy on 2010-08-29 13:56:52 UTC
i may come across one if i keep checking the goodwill stores and flea markets i found my fast traxx in a goodwill store boxed for £4.50 truth that was one great day .lol.. :D
by SavedONE on 2010-08-29 14:22:30 UTC
-I had a mini Schorcher, 6.0v, that thing was super fast, I couldn't run it in the house. They're best on cement, but do wear tires quickly. It was neon yellow.
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 17:11:10 UTC
Scorcher show up on the uk eBay often actually since I've looked I've seen three sell there and low priced.
Only a 6v scorcher I have a 9.6v
by pendemic on 2010-08-29 22:53:32 UTC

ill take it out the box and take more pics if you guys want me too
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-30 01:28:50 UTC
i think he is talking about a scorcher.if so i believe it is twin engines, the back four wheels are the drive wheels and the fronts spin freely.

never know, the only thing that might kill you is the shipping. but if you resell it youll more than likely break even of get a little more
by czstycor/c on 2010-08-31 11:45:57 UTC
Haha I would keep it for my traxx collection
by czstycor/c on 2010-09-02 19:15:56 UTC
so did you get your money back with the sale of the fast traxx?
by pendemic on 2010-09-02 20:15:51 UTC
so did you get your money back with the sale of the fast traxx?
no i had to end all my auctions, whoever stole my laptop changed all my passwords and my email address to paypal and sent the money to them. both cars are still sitting here :-[
by czstycor/c on 2010-09-03 00:22:19 UTC
