TRAXXAS 1920 SNAP ON SPECIAL SPRINT CAR RC REPLICA | EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

[@christopherherrington1694]

Can’t wait to see Kevin Talbot take one to the skatepark 😂

[@donaldlamacchia8844]

2 offenhosser carbs, silver vents on side helps keep engine cooling and ventilation, small pump was the fuel pump to pressure the tank, they raced on dirt track (Indy track) fuel tank was in the back behind driver. Uncle is a T collector, Dad is a model A collector , I’m a 50-70’s collector. Very nice looking car. Seeing these cars in life is a real treat.

[@TheDudeRc]

Good info but they are Riley carbs. Its also an OHC engine. Custom made model T frame called the "Skinny"

[@ToxMod]

“Wow” is correct, this is by far the prettiest RC I’ve ever seen.

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

It’s pretty gay…

[@wheelie642]

In 1920 did they race these cars on the beach or a track?

[@drewncars9505]

They need to release this as a model everyone can buy. I’d love to get my hands on one and take it to a circle track. It would be awesome to have an old fashioned sprint car class at Indy RC world!

[@joeantonissen3986]

They are next year

[@robertsandoval5434]

​@@joeantonissen3986 I really hope you are right. Im willing to wait but what makes you so sure?

[@trailblazer8380]

I think with 3d printing, and the trx4m, scx10, and similar platforms, more can come about

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

Good on Traxxas for creating something so unique. I don't know of another major rc company that's built something so far out of their general wheel house.

[@JonnyJetson754]

Agree its kinda as unique or more than the Losi Promoto

@@WigglesTTH has Tamiya ever built anything like an XMAXX or a Kraton? No same diff

[@tenncutt]

Needs to come with a man in it with goggles and a leather skullcap. Very cool looking, love the wire wheels and those tires.

[@BetriebAnin]

The price of this just goes to show how massive the Traxxas fanbase is. I’m not dunking on them, Traxxas is pretty cool, but prices like these are wild. If a lesser known brand like HPI or CEN did something as exclusive and hard to get as this, it wouldn’t be worth nearly as much.

[@ShawnMoreland317]

She's a thing of beauty. Maybe other manufacturers will follow suit. Growing up in Indianapolis and visiting the museum at the motor speedway, i saw many of the real life versions of these, and they are gorgeous. Always wondered why there were not any RC versions.

[@myharryface]

That thing is awesome! If they do a normal release I am getting one! -- I think there should be a race class for that ... through-back racing! So cool.

[@MB_IV_NULLA_I]

Mark, great video. Not sure what your affiliation is with Traxxas but the company should put you on their payroll. The company is getting free marketing on their products and your videos reach a large enough target audience that it is worth their time to partner with you - if they already haven't ;). As far as the car is concerned...I wouldn't buy one but it certainly looks great. The scale features are what makes it attractive and it is a concept that is totally outside the company's box. No doubt the sprint will be mass produced since it is apparent Traxxas put a lot of time into engineering the concept. Anyway, just wanted to commend you for another quality video - you are one of very few folks on KZbin where I will actually watch the content from start to finish. Keep up the great work!

[@joesphblas6394]

Gotta a feeling I feel a new racing class brewing up! Nice!

[@fernandoalbertomedina4829]

I won one in a Ebay bid 5 hours ago. I can't wait to have it on my hands. I know, it was very expensive. I know, the price will down to aprox 650 or less (like a Trx6) soon or very soon. I know, this spectacular car is NOT to heavy work. I must be very careful, avoid crashes, shocks or similar. I must use it in open spaces only. But anyway , I'm very very happy with my new car Spectacular video Mark. Great and valuable information. Thumbs up

[@fastlife1688]

Honestly, I was impressed by the looks when I first opened mine. Had the same exact wow moment. I like the way it drives. It's a cool little car. I have just a slight wobble in my front wheel. Nowhere near as excessive as yours. A little tip, open up the motor cover on top and add some grease to the bearing for the spur. I noticed an excessive amount of heat coming from that area. Checked the bearing and it was almost at the point of sounding like a creaky door. And I only ran the truck for maybe 3-5 minutes tops. Deep offset wheels fit. Tried some proline primes. Looks good with beefy street tires. Thinking I'm going to add a 17mm hex adapter and run my dboots hoons.

[@rcfamily4life74]

I’d love to get one maybe Traxxas will make it for everyone and some special dirt oval racing like they did back in the 20’s. Even something along the beach. Happy RC’ing Y’all!!!!

[@bucksrcworld8119]

great video Mark. These cars will always be an instant classic. we need to see this on the redcat car hauler. Cannot wait to see the regular release of this in 2 years.

[@DONCOOLJEFE]

Traxxas needs to market this

[@ryand4786]

It’s cool for sure , exclusive . I have the 1950 step van , which is just a body on a 4tec 3.0 chassis with custom wheels and tires . They started out at around $2000, I got mine for $600, a lot of money but we don’t get into this hobby for the R.O.I anyway. I hope to eventually pick this one up, once the excitement dies down , great video Mark 👍

[@fernandoalbertomedina4829]

You are ok . I paid a very high price. But I will enjoy it a lot. I want too a 1950 Van. I have three Traxxas 4tec I will try to get the body . The body is super ufff. New tyhe van does cost approx 600 dollars. I expect to get the body with 200 bucks or less..

[@Cougar5099]

I have just got mine its truly my first shelf Queen so freaking awsome

[@spol46]

The chrome thing on the side by the seat is a pump to pressurize the fuel system

[@noslackadventures8503]

Intake is on left side of car, the handle you called the brake is a manual fuel pump. I love these old race cars, if the release this car the aftermarket parts you could make to upgrade would be amazing. I see a whole new race class with this car, I am in if it gets released. Fingers crossed.

[@spoolyboi9434]

Be nice to see a non snap on version of this, never seen anything like this, currently on a hiatus from RC stuff getting into other hobbies something like this would make me get back into it

[@artieaudio77]

It'll be out next yr. With different decals.

[@BhutJolokias]

A spec class on a dirt oval would be awesome. Can't wait until they release it.

[@ONxONExWHEEL]

Nice job! Your video is way better than the other guys, keep it up man.

[@trashpandacustoms400]

That thing is awesome! It's as if Traxxas is using Snap-On as a sounding board for new products...

[@GreenJeep1998]

That, and using them as a test bed for marketing and to further develop and refine them for regular sales!

[@oldmanrc3252]

Wow guys this a nice piece of Rc art, I believe if I get one it will never being running it will be just at my office desk guys it’s so beautiful 🤩

[@RBRC1]

I see this being released to the masses….. all the plastic parts offered in aluminum as upgrades, different body colors and maybe a driver.

[@OGRCFanatic]

So cool. I loved the little dude in the drivers seat when you drove it around 😂

[@MichaelMcClung-et8nk]

Definitely a looker! I'd have to have batman as the driver! Great unboxing video!

[@ericcastaneda8797]

That would make a awesome spec class.

[@JonnyJetson754]

I would start racing again if so haha

[@ericcastaneda8797]

@@JonnyJetson754 those sprint cars would look so good just going around the track.

[@plap.]

The extra crome thing on the left side i believe is a pump that needs to be used by the driver every once in a while to pressurize the fuel tank to push fuel to the carb

[@lcpeterbilt379]

im guessing the cm if from Fred Clemmons old cars. Frederick Earl "Skinny" Clemons (February 14, 1889 - February 10, 1945)[1] was an American race car designer and racing driver. He was one of the first entrants at the Indianapolis 500. He designed and built his own cars, engines and created his own Independent wheel suspension which he patented in 1934. An identification letter 'C’ or ‘Cm ' often appears in front of the race Numbers on Clemons' cars. Lou Meyer, Joe Russo, Wilber Shaw and many other race drivers drove his cars

[@chrisgreener5599]

I think Traxxas missed a huge detail by not having function leaf springs. They did what they could by including the rotary dampers, but the leafs would have been so cool.

[@RodneyAEvans]

The silver thing on the left side near cockpit is a pump to keep pressure on the fuel system which the drivers did during racing.

[@JPaul60]

It needs a driver with the goggles and period helmet. I can see these used for oval track racing. Looks great with Snap On decals.

[@RickyRacer59]

First thing I would do is remove the white snap on socket wrench special sticker and probably the Cm-6 stickers. It would look so cool!!

[@boldrbangr9834]

The pics of the real one shows it had the CM-6 & Snap On graphics, so I'd leave 'em.

[@MrBumbles2]

lol in the early 70s i bought a nitro control line aka tethered sprint car just like it. but grey. in fact still have it , has a estes -21 its buried in the shop , still runs just drain trans fluid and fire it up. estes motor is actually a enya. hmm needs tires. was always going to make it rc but figured keep it stock being antique now lol. of course its all metal . but that looks sweet

[@trailblazer8380]

That sounds super cool!

[@jrc-fabs1634]

So cool that you actually drove it!

[@waynecastleman1363]

Regarding the stick on the left side could be a parking brake or possibly a shifter like some old motorcycles that had the shifter on the left side and was shifting by hand. Awesome looking car.

[@Rjames1989]

I just picked up a traxxas 33 hotrod snap on yesterday so cool and collectible

[@themetalmaiden7462]

That's cool. I keep waiting for them to update the 79 Bronco to clipless design like the 79 F-150.

[@GaryMuckler]

If traxxas dose not releace this to the general public they are a bunch of fools. I just started this hobby last (July) and I all ready have over twenty cars from traxxas arma losi and so on. I like your vidios I find them very informative.

[@arthopfer]

I think we need to see it pulling a few laps at Indy.

[@jamesplymire5342]

Its so cool that this was a REAL race car. There is also a model kit of this car.

[@Macgyver46]

I don't think I'll ever understand Traxxas marketing. From what little I watched of this video, the only thing that gives it value is its rare.

[@ThatTraxxasRevo]

Your exactly correct

[@JonnyJetson754]

The Design I am impressed with and how it could inspire more like it.

[@thatguych2]

Traxxas is trash in real life so many ppl trying to sale em on Facebook marketplace barely anything else just like real life if I see a lot of the same cars at the junkyard I know not to buy that car 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

[@davidrivero7943]

Limited Market since most of us are drivers & not collectors . And have no shame being second lol your throuro details in video is what's important. Now we need them for the masses & Traxxas , how about a Racing Class for these beauties ?

[@Truckziller]

This car has no impact on traxxas marketing. Snap on was founded in 1920, I dont think it was traxxas idea to make a special car for them..

[@droogsurgeon1440]

Music sounds like Com Truise. If you haven’t heard it before check that band out it’s awesome.

[@davidorr8645]

I knew you were gonna end up with this model!

[@polarlicht4758]

Hope they release it to everyone someday like the Hauler... btw does it fit on the Hauler? The noise of this thing sound almost like old car gear whine. Kinda acurate!

[@markg7030]

It fits but they are not the same scale.

[@tyrellcorp2118]

It’s gorgeous.

[@robertruiz5417]

Amazing review

[@TheDudeRc]

Mine has the same wobble on the same wheel. I think its just how they sat in the box.

[@GreenJeep1998]

Not gonna lie, myself and probably at least one of my friends will likely buy them if and when they hit the shelves. I can also see those radius rods being popped out in aluminum if there is demand for them, same with the later dished aluminum knock-off wheels too, those would be cool to see in both aluminum and plastic!

[@jaredsay3331]

I can see in the future of hobby shop having this RC race class

[@baggszilla]

Absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@IronknotOffroad]

Thanks for that. Looks awesome.

[@jjhardie449]

Would be even better if the wheels did not wobble.You think Traxxas could have made sure they rotated a bit truer. Other than that it is pretty freaking cool! I live in the Sprint Car Capitol of the World. So it's pretty cool to see them do this.

[@ThatAMGguy]

I take it you have never seen a real sprint car.

[@Rjames1989]

The silver piece is a oil hand pump to pump more oil for lubercation for the engine

[@PinoyHobbyNZ]

That's so cool!👌

[@radu-aurelcioara342]

Awesome review! :) What scale is this rig? Thanks!

[@nathansvatora9683]

Mark should come out with an action figure on MSM. To use on the open vechicles and moto. OR a head that would fit on a gi joe body, he-man body, power ranger body, etc. Maybe an extra big bobble head with a camera inside. FPV in the future. Always great videos.

[@noquarterschavez5415]

Mark, from my understanding they start oval race with those sprint cars like that started in Corona California.. I could be wrong but you might want to check into that..

[@poppop66rc]

I may be mistaken, but I believe that back in the twenties. they raced on banked wooden slat or plank racetracks!!!

[@Mona8519]

That needs a soundmodul! Thx for the infomative vid!

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Looks insane I like the details

[@RCRitterFPV]

It looks amazing❤... hope this come to a production....different bodies like a 1934 mercedes or the alfa romeo P 3...

[@fernandoalbertomedina4829]

excellent idea. I'm 57 model. I love the vintage rc old cars (1950 or less) . This classic would be a great success

[@BeatniksVids]

Devil's Bowl opened in Dallas off of Buckner in around 1950ish, so this is to early for that track lol.

Great Info on This new Whip! 🔥…💯

[@markcole6475]

Very cool concept but what would ya do with it besides running around a big parking lot? Looks a bit fragile to actually race with it ….not really a bashers by any means. ….guess if you have the money it’ll be a shelf queen.

[@J0NB81]

And in Traxxas fashion it’s cool and unobtainable.

[@AmesiesCorner]

Is traxxas going to make an icon tool car next?

[@Goopy_Joe]

Maybe not a popular opinion, but id love to see this as a crawler

[@michaelthompson7637]

Cool videos. Like the car. Not to nitpick, but they didn't make the brakes look like rotors, they made them look like drum brakes. I guess they were really going for that authentic look. I'd really like to see companies make classic cars from that era. A Duesenberg would be cool. Something like that. Or iconic cars from TV shows like The original Batmobile or K.I.T.T. You know, the classic stuff. Cool video. Thanks for making it.

[@maxstone2566]

Are the friction shocks functional?

[@fernsolo]

Looks great, now what if you put a 3S VXL system in it, you think the car can handle it?

I’m wondering how well the spokes in the wheels will hold up to a VXL, especially on 3s.
