How to Become a Traxxas Dealer
Traxxas was founded in 1986. As an R/C, or radio controlled hobby specialist, they put out cars, parts, and other items. They were the ones that started the term “ready-to-run” or “RTR." Today, they are the makers of the popular Slash short course R/C truck. For hobby shops that would like to carry their products, there is one way to become a Traxxas dealer.
