San Diego, CA – Traxxas has joined the 2015 Polaris RZR Mint 400 presented by General Tire as an official sponsor. Traxxas was started in 1986 with an idea for what was at that time an entirely new concept for a fully assembled, hobby-class R/C car. Today, Traxxas has grown to become the number-1 selling name in RTR nitro and electric models. No one has done more than Traxxas to advance the RTR category with innovative thinking and fun designs that make it easy for anyone to get started in the great R/C hobby.

“Traxxas is a perfect fit and they have a history of supporting off-road racing. Their product perfectly aligns with our goal of introducing new people to off-road. What better way than handing someone a radio controlled car as an example of what we do in full size vehicles?” stated Matt Martelli, Mint 400 CEO.

“We are excited to get more involved with The Mint 400.Traxxas has been a supporter of off-road race leagues such as TORC and Formula Off-Road. Traxxas also proudly supports racers such as Robby Gordon, Sheldon Creed, Jeff Kincaid, Keegan Kincaid and company president Mike Jenkins. We pride ourselves on making radio control cars that are authentic to off-road racing,” stated Traxxas Director Special Operations, Loren Snyder.

Traxxas will be displaying and selling radio control cars at Contingency and the Primm Valley Mint 400 Start/Finish Line on race day.
