Post by: classicfe on July 09, 2002, 08:27:26 PM
just a few questions about trax models, i notice they don't seem to publish how many of a particular model are made??? does anyone have a rough ball park figure of how many they do made of each model????

and my second question when are they going to bring out the fe model???? ??? 8)

RE trax models I emailed trax about 2 weeks ago to ask about producing a fe and the email I received back was to keep my eyes open. What we all should do is keep sending emails or phone them requesting that they bring them out

I heard more than a year ago that the blue/white and 2t-green FCs where definitely going to be the last of them, because the mould was going to be broken down for use in FE models.

Apparently they've been asked about FEs ever since the FC was first released, and the success of that model shocked even Trax.

There was Castle Grey with Gypsy red roof
Cuban Beige with Russet brown roof
Elk blue with Teal blue roof
Sarasota white with Turquoise roof

Ken,

I know it must of been an honest mistake but you seem to have missed Corsair Tan and India Ivory.

Cheers,

Craig.

Ouch. :P

Don't worry Wayne, if you get one half way along the production line it will be grey - I'm sure that's the primer colour ;D

Craig at least they all start out in a good colour.
 That is why they picked my car for the magazine because it was  the best colour.  :P :P :P :P

I rang trax to ask them when fe is to be produced and they said it should be later this year.I would not hold your  for it  ???

Ken you told me that you asked them to do a twin pack with the 2 colours reversed Tan with white roof and white with tan roof.  I think that is pretty close to becoming an Fe Poo mobile

could we have the tan with a white roof and detroit flash? this would just about make my life complete.

Actually the tan one that I sent them details of was Pueblo Tan not Poo Tan

I suggested a twin set with reversed colours as Trax have not done it before and in FE the Pueblo Tan and Castle Grey sedan was sold quite extensively in both versions.

I note in Qld Club's July newsletter that they have a raffle with first prize "your choice of one of the Six Trax model cars (FE/FC)."  There must be an  FE model.   Mike.

Hi All
My first question is: Why the hell would you break up an FC mold, that is/was one of the best selling models in there range.

Next question if you going to make an FE why grey? is it a colour, and then to suggest an FE Poo. You blokes need to have a long hard look at yourselves?. ;)

Now on the serious note I bet Trax are sick to death of all you FE FC nutters ringing and nagging. ;D

I would also like to say I think the FE will most likely make it into there top 10 sellers of all time. We all know the best and No 1 seller of all time will always be the FC.

Now Now Girls..
Poo might look fine on an FC with white, but really a two tone poo FE, you girls are joking.

Just Joking.......

Has the FE series been released as yet and if not when will it happen.

Hi John
I think Cat and Hotlips were trying to bait me so I had to respond.

I might have to see if any FE models are available. I have not checked Trax site for a couple of months now I suppose.

I might buy one or two for prosperity as I will never own a real FE. lol

Post by: FC0058 on May 13, 2003, 08:43:46 AM
 Hi All
Just went in the trax website and had a look. Yes they are there and they do not look to bad at all. I will be ordering them both real soon.

There have actually been 3 FE's released. The 2 tone blue one was released at the same time as the others but has sold out.

Slim,

If you'd really like to know, take a side-on shot of your FJ van (preferably with the flash turned off), and a shot of your van (with no shadows on it) from the same angle.  Send 'em to me and I'll mock it up for you.

cheers
