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

[@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

[@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?

[@christopherherrington1694]

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

[@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.

[@BhutJolokias]

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

[@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..

[@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.

[@simonj126]

In all honesty, it looks a bit weird to have an open cockpit but no driver. It'd be like if the Losi dirt bike didn't have a rider - a bit awkward.

[@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!

[@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"

[@Jobro_Ya_Know]

I’m tired of traxxas. I just can’t stand behind a company that upsells every product to such an extent. I grew up with the slashes and they will forever have a place in my heart but what happened to this company. How a great has fallen

[@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.

[@DONCOOLJEFE]

Traxxas needs to market this

[@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

[@themetalmaiden7462]

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

[@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.

[@lucretia4217]

300$ max is what it’s actually worth

[@ONxONExWHEEL]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@fartfart7488]

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..

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

That driver just dont gaf 😂😂😂 he drives looking out into space lol😂

[@PeasantNo.471]

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

[@wheelsdownrc6348]

Probably don’t start the video off with ,You Don’t know how to get it.😂

[@MichaelMcClung-et8nk]

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

[@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!

[@Goopy_Joe]

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

[@garry3013]

For the rarity. In my opinion isnt worth the $, the hassles and struggles to find one thats available for purchase and ofcourse the unsafe situation you put yourself in, just to complete your acquisition. Glad things worked out but percentages were NOT in your favor.

[@marcoshuerta8661]

I don't know I don't see the value $600 idk .. but that's the hobby isn't it some people are going to really like it some people aren't

[@RCRitterFPV]

Very Cool, they missed an opportunity with that servo horn... that is a lot of plastic.... it has to be below 399

[@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.

[@DKGAMER-fisjebs]

It’s got the word Snap-on on it you are going to be paying 800 or more🤣

[@GreenJeep1998]

I’ve been calling it the Snap-On Tax😉

[@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.

[@AmesiesCorner]

I just won one of these today!

[@spol46]

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

[@dalaw6600]

I’m still salty over the parts bin “steering” servo they put in the Trx4m, that lasted until the second day before breaking one of the smallest saddest plastic gears I’ve ever seen. Then the price of their metal gears servo 🤦‍♂️. Only a fan boy like mark would pay for it 😂

[@kipcarson3307]

Mark I am not 100% sure but the first time I saw this was before you aired it a gentleman said in his second video that he paid $585 for the car

[@GreenJeep1998]

That will be a year and a half to save for it then……..or at least be where next year’s tax refund goes……🤔

[@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.

[@MrDrakePrice]

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

[@1lunifyd]

Crazy to think about just like snap on is over priced just like traxxas! No wonder they teamed up!

[@JonnyJetson754]

1 of those toyan 4 stroke engines in this 🥸

[@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.

[@randycoolbaugh1408]

Thanks... but no thanks. Hell back in the late 80's I would motorize/R.C. 1/8 scale model cars and have much more quality and detail than this.

[@shagy2500]

Looks good, but I will say there is nothing near worth what they are going for. Even if it's released without the Snap On body I wouldn't give more than $350 for it, it is practically useless.

[@michaelattenborough8363]

My 70ts. Tamiya sprint car is far more awesome that is a snopon con. Anything snopon is a ripof what 40 bucks a spaner that u can buy. Dowidad for 2dollors

[@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.

[@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!

[@Calcapwn300]

all that plastic...not paying 500+ for it. I'd wait for the used market instead

[@gadgetmantwincities]

Traxxas would not put all that R&D into a completely new platform and all the tooling to make this thing and not sell it to the public. That would be a waste of money from a business perspective. They are getting reaction data with this one.

[@martintaylor984]

I mean how could they do all that and make even the leafs plastic, the chassis plastic, the only metal is literally the cheapest thing they could have made metal. I love Traxxas but that is junk imo.

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

I think I'm the only one who thinks this is ugly as hell. Nothing makes me want this thing. Especially, the price people think this turd is worth lol

[@fernsolo]

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

[@JonnyJetson754]

This car would be insane when hop ups are available etc

[@GreenJeep1998]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@LyroLife]

Strange and boring car if you ask me. But no one asks me, so it’s probably the coolest car ever.

[@jrc-fabs1634]

So cool that you actually drove it!

[@karldwilkerson]

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

[@joesphblas6394]

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

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.

[@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!!!!

[@coyster530]

I honestly think it would have been a little cooler if they would have put a racing guy in the seat and had the steering wheel actually turn

[@allenmichaud1605]

That's for traxxas fan boys and old men over 65. A very low number of 20 and 30 something old basher dudes are going to "need this right now". Most of these guys are sponsored and or paid to sell these to us the masses. It looks good and looks even more slow and boring. And yes I'm old also

[@GreenJeep1998]

I’m willing to wait, but I’ll be honest, my Silent Gen Dad, 2 Millennial Friends and another friend that’s a Gen X like myself are all kinda drooling at what coverage we can find on them.

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.

[@polarlicht4758]

I think there were two vans. One was just a different body for the x maxx and the other a standalone model but idk on what platform?. So far we got like the hot rods, the hauler and prob some others as snap on only and later as regular models to buy for everyone. I think traxxas waits to see peoples reaction on that thing and if its positive they sure will produce more. Makes no sense for this special new platform to be produced lije 500 times only...

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

Beautiful.. But I'm afraid it's destined to go the way of the Traxxas Funny car. Too early, too ahead of the hobby.. This could become a hype, like No-Prep became, years after Traxxas stopped production of the Funny Car. (I got one. Expensive, worth it. I'm a fan of Funny Cars since I could walk.. :P ) It looks like fun. Imagine 6 or 8 whizzing around a dirt track, with weird, funny driver figures in 20's racing outfits, leather flightcaps and giant goggles and all.. By the by. According to another running vid (checked with GPS) it gets up to 29mph! Not 20/25...

[@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
