What is Traxxas' warranty on this? I assume some of the breakable things aren't warrantied, but battery and/or motor?

Traxxas sent out a replacement driveshaft. Broke on first battery. Their suggestion was to upgrade the driveshafts to metal. The hobby shop took care of the motor and speed controller. If they hadn't I would've been out $100, half the cost of a new one through traxxas.

I forgot to mention the motor and battery can all be replaced under the 50% plan after thirty days. When getting used to this truck run it in "training mode" first. Once you can control it without wrecking a lot or just flipping it over go for "sport mode". Training mode cuts the power to 50% which still makes for a quick truck btw. Sport mode for a beginner is just insane lol.

Generally the vehicle is warranted for thirty days. After 30 days the speed control can be replaced for half of new price. The truck is very solid out of the box. Most breakages come from wrecks. This is a great starter truck for someone new to the hobby very easy to work on if necessary. I wrecked one into a yard ornament statue at @35 mph nearly broke it in half. Replacement parts were @25 bucks took me an hour to fix it. The wreck was 100% my fault and could have been avoided with a little self control. Which is easier said than done the first time you run one of these. Practice in a wide open area with few obstacles at first.

This car is not very durable at all I broke soooo much stuff on this car the. I had to order parts online because like no hobby shop sells redcat parts so I would say traxxas is better

From what I know you have to but another. Try battery plus or contact kid Trax.

If you live in bront Tx you can go to Dell at RC unplugged. and he always gets the parts right and trys to save you some money by upgrading your traxxes to the best it can be.

no, only because they share almost no parts. you would just be better off buying a prebuilt one from traxxas or just used. i just finished building mine for 900 dollars

Wow, the same thing happened to one of my kids motorcycles and the other one was fine. I called the 800 # in the manual and was given instructions to take a photo of the battery and yellow chips that came with it, but I never followed through because I then found a broken wire!! It's been in my list for months to try abs order a new battery..... :( my poor kids only enjoyed their motorcycles for a few months before the problems started.

I assume it is because it is pretty simple. The motor could be fixed by any motor repair shop and the rest is just mechanical. bolts and nuts and maybe some welds.Thanks,BobSex Trix

Yes it is all Traxxas parts. You will probally want am extra battery because the 7.4v battery will give you about 25 to 30 minutes max run time and the stock charger takes longer to charge. Purchase an aftermarket quick charger to get charging times under an hour.

It has a warranty. If it doesn't fly, you can contact the manufacturer and as long as you have a receipt they will send you a new one

This is the brushless edition. The "L" in the part number only referred to whether the LiPo batteries were included. Traxxas doesn't include LiPo batteries with their trucks anymore.

Not sure what the warranty is but it is only $ 35.00 so I wasn't concerned. I have had this motor installed for in my Astro Van for over two years now with no problems. There were plenty of aftermarket motors available but this one is a genuine AC/Delco so I went with it.

I would contact Kid Trax through their website and ask them directly where to purchase replacement battery.
