Traxxas are world renowned for awesome remote control cars that are ready-to-run and super-fun straight out of the box. So its great to announce that we now stock some of their finest models! Read on to learn more about these incredible vehicles and some of their unique features, the full selection is available at our webstore. At RC Geeks we love cars, trucks and buggies that are robust whilst also easy to use; Traxxas models have always ticked these boxes. We feel the innovative designs, robust material choices and stellar performance that their vehicles provide, more than justify their prices. All of the models featured in this blog are ready-to-run out of the box (in fact they are famed for it), requiring no assembly or setup.
