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.

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.

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.

Title: Re: So far my Japanese Fast Traxx is....
Post by: czstycor/c on August 24, 2010, 17:57:15
if the doors are the same. wait would you send me one?
Title: Re: So far my Japanese Fast Traxx is....
Post by: pendemic on August 24, 2010, 17:58:04
im pretty sure they are, unless their like the ones on the other tyco cars.
Title: Re: So far my Japanese Fast Traxx is....
Post by: czstycor/c on August 24, 2010, 18:09:21
if they fixed them and they are like the super fast traxx door with the metal rod as a hinge it wont ever break.
Title: Re: So far my Japanese Fast Traxx is....
Post by: SavedONE on August 25, 2010, 00:33:20
-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.
Title: Re: So far my Japanese Fast Traxx is....
Post by: czstycor/c on August 25, 2010, 16:47:19
they still, might have changed the style of the door, to something more structuley sound.
Title: Re: So far my Japanese Fast Traxx is....
Post by: performerrpm on August 25, 2010, 20:30:15

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

-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.
