Inside One of the World's Largest RC Companies!

What does it look like inside one of the biggest radio control companies in the world? While visiting Texas, we stopped in at Traxxas Headquarters to check out their retail shop and chat with Marketing Director Damron Atkins! All the Traxxas vehicles are designed, tested, and distributed from their massive warehouse in McKinney, Texas.
Their retail store is open to the public Monday through Friday and is stocked with every single model and product they make. Looking for parts? They have one for every one of their RCs.
Huge thank you to them for lending out a bunch of sick vehicles for our shoot at a Priority Tire warehouse (next video!!).

I'll never forget late summer of 2005. I lived in a small town & was bored to death having lived in the country all my life. Bought a nitro S-Maxx, & everytime I got it out, kids would hear it & run outside like it was the ice cream truck. That November several of the parents were asking me which one to get them for x-mas. The first warm wknd in January i quickly learned that Santa had dropped off 6 other rc cars/trucks on our block. We all had an absolute blast.

[@AnthonyELombardi]

What a fake story

[@tenncutt]

Is that like a T Maxx? Never heard of a S Maxx

[@FalconWing1813]

This place is my go-to hobby store and pretty much a second home to me. Genuinely the best place I’ve been to. I’m trying to get a job there now.

[@DanBrando]

Cool Traxxas is opening up to kinda pull the curtain back with the KZbinrs. I hope they keep it up as it makes me feel more comfortable with the brand

[@bradwallace383]

I live 20 minutes from the Headquarters. Frisco. Love it and the close proximity of parts and professional support and service. These guys are fantastic ❗

[@MrGonzoify]

I am fifty and I just bought my first decent rc car. I didnt' know anything but my friend has one and there is a local hobby shop with tons of cars and parts. I just rolled the dice and got a 4x4 slash, it was in my price range, and i loved the style. Long story short, i am hooked. Planning some upgrades and writing Santa about the X-Max lol. My buddy has the sledge and its incredible aswell. Whole lotta fun, great hobby to do with kids.

xmaxx is on my christmas list as well lol

[@hughjanus5518]

Lol X-maxx is a beast that hardly ever breaks.

[@schtinerbock4570]

Welcome to Texas. It's like a whole other country. Funny how those Traxxas guys don't get that giddy when Mark Santa Maria shows up. You should meet up with him and have a bash session.

[@RCGirl]

The freeways here are nuts!! I've never seen so many stacked overpasses. And gas is like half the price of what it is CA. 😮

[@rcplayground7]

Why does it feel different ?

[@blitzrc4713]

Well he is a bit of a d.....

[@TheCowboyfromhell87]

@RCGirl Just remember the left lane is for going 80+ mph. If you don't want to go that fast move over! Because an F250 with a ranch hand is coming up fast.

[@cwatson42785]

Why should they get giddy when seeing Mark? I mean he's a nice guy but he's not a celebrity or anything lol. Just saying. I'd be giddy to meet RC girl 😮

[@Basskingdom7]

Such a cool video of the Traxxas facility! Thank you RC girl for bringing us along! It was so cool! I am getting my first Traxxas Max V2 next week! I can’t wait to start running that truck!!

That's awesome! Tell them to make a trx-6m lol

[@drutang]

i had no idea the HQ is jus down the street from me!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@shaynejenkins446]

Are they ever going to show up at an RC event? They are straight up corporate people with no real connection to the RC community.

[@superstatus2640]

For real. I started the hobby with Traxxas products then saw how they can be and haven't bought their s*** since

[@cerealbucketcoaster]

Yeah.... screw traxxas

[@Konigstiger222]

Yep theyre purely in it for the money, not for the hobby. I didnt used to believe this (or maybe didnt want to) after being in the hobby 17 years I finally seen the light after repeated performances from their legal team. And now you cant even order Traxxas parts from Usa shops online if you dont live in USA. I used to order everything from Amain to myself down under, and now Trx wont allow shipping anything overseas from spare parts to entire kits. . . so they just lost a massive chunk of support overseas.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Yep me too one of my first hobby grade rcs was traxxas bullet looked like rc 10 but cheaper and tougher

[@tombledsoe8880]

Definitely, you guys are onto something. With the enormous building and worldwide presence in sales I am quite sure they will be contacting you guys for future advice of the direction of the company. Maybe you should drive to Texas, and start off a job interview with your wisdom of the industry

[@stephaneduke9736]

Bonjour à vous vraiment merci de vôtre partage cette vidéo est très agréable à regarder cette un vrai bonne visite .... Merci à Monsieur Atkins pour c bonnes réponses et ses explications ... en attente de vôtre prochaine vidéo ... Stéphane de France .

[@TrokaRC]

We need a MSM & rc girl event / colab soon!!

[@aguyinnc2865]

It's probably a good thing I don't live near there! I have four Slashes, two set up for Mudboss, 13.5 and 12T, one set up for Street Stock (or Super Street,) and a first Gen Raptor Slash. I also have a 4-Tec 2.0 Mustang. I raced Stock Slash on our local oval a couple of years ago, and won the points championship. Fun vehicles, love the support from Traxxas, especially the availability of parts. I DO wish, they would re release the SRT Stadium Truck, or offer the body and wheels to build a SRT Rustler. Not much crawling action in my area, but would love to have one of their Broncos. And more Slashes, don't have a 4WD yet. Btw I am 67 years old, got into RC back in '89, have raced oval for years, not as good on off road or road course. Haven't raced in a couple of years, hoping somebody would set up a new track nearby!

[@mikeg1841]

I live in Austin and as a Texan I can tell you that I am extremely proud of Traxxas. To a Texan it's obvious that their name is a combination of Texas and track giving you "Traxxas". We should rename McKinney to Traxxas, Texas for the love that Traxxas has shown for their home state. Texas has the best techs. Thank you for doing what you do Traxxas I love you guys. Thank you too RC Girl👍

[@erichbachman7363]

Coming from norway, I was wondering why Traxxas, but now I get it, thx! Had me fair share of Traxxas rc's in the past. Just recently bought a trx4m.

I met Damron yesterday, while at SEMA Show 2023 (Las Vegas). As I was wearing my MSM (Mark Santa Maria, for those who might not know) T-shirt, be wanted to take a photo work me, to send to Mark. One of these days, I might make it out there, to see the store in-person. One of the coolest things Traxxas has in their SEMA display is a mini TRX-4m crawler course in the center of the display.

[@rmarkley79]

I'm sure Damron has seen Mark a few hundred times, haha!

Very cool to see the Traxxas showroom! I was a little disappointed there is no underground bunker 😂

I used to race on a national level in the 90's and Traxxas was kind of a joke at the time. But... They have managed to transform the hobby and in doing so have become one of the biggest names in the business. They have got more people into the hobby than all other brands combined. Its great to see the success they have had and I wist them continued success.

Now we own 8 Traxxas crawlers... Hauler included! For sure the best brand ! PS: the ONLY brand mounting really good tires out of the box !!

[@mikemartin6857]

Literally just got home this evening with my brand new trx4-m f-150 ranger xlt ^high trail edition^ in black 😊 My first time getting into rc cars and I'm so stoked to play with it 2morrow on my day off! About 2 weeks ago I had ordered and fms crawler blazer from amazon and was so excited to play with it. The thing literally broke its rear driveshaft after only about 2 minutes of me driving it thru the yard ( a weed wrapped around the rear tire) I was super bummed out and took it to my local hobby shop and was told the fms are toy grade and not well built. They just happened to be a Traxxas dealer and encouraged me to send mine back and purchase one of their trx4-m models and since they work on them and carry parts.... it just made sense. So I saved up a few bucks seeing as how Amazon has yet to issue me a refund and bought myself one today. Wish me luck guys💯 really enjoyed the video 😎

Very cool!! Have fun with it. It's one of my favorite trucks I have.

[@nunodias3331]

Wow

[@bradh74]

I got my boys the Stampede trucks years ago. I was really impressed with how well they did off road! The water proofing needs a bit of work because of the amount of maintenance required to clean it after getting it wet, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Traxxas product or purchase one myself. Nice job on the video. Freddies Hobbies in Ravenna, Ohio, has a banked track for the big cars to race on as well as an indoor track. Not sure of the class but I believe they have a schedule for races and stands, you might want to check them out, Freddie seems to be a pretty nice guy.
