Traxxas is one of the leaing hobby level radio control model manufacturers based in the United States. Traxxas produces a variety of cars and boats. They offer electric and nitro powered versions of most of their models. Traxxas' nitro powered models like the Revo, Jato, and T-Maxx run on a special nitromethane/methanol type fuel, and are intended for nitro enthusiasts. For electric enthusiasts, Traxxas also makes electric cars such as E-maxx, Bandit, Spirit, Rustler, Electric 4-Tec, and Stampede. Although some models appear to simply be electric adaptations of their "nitro" counterparts, they usually are quite different. All of their models are geared for the "backyard basher". Though they have no racing team or competition kit versions of any of their models, the Traxxas Revo is raced internationally and has won many championships. Traxxas is known for their great customer service and easy to use cars.
