Changes: Trim TRK

Revision as of 13:35, 14 August 2020

Description

The Trim TRK is a Tooned version of a generic pick-up. It was released as a so-called Torpedo. The Torpedo style was a new cartoon style introduced in 2005 and depicts a vehicle in a skinny, Torpedo-like shape with outboard wheels. These unique vehicles perform well on the track, but the exposed wheels make them more susceptible to bending axles in boosters. Re-releases of Torpedoes vehicles have been somewhat limited, if existent at all. Trim TRK is one of only two Torpedoes vehicles with a plastic base; the other is Tor-Speedo. To compensate, the body of the vehicle is made to be quite heavy.

 ==Description==
-Trim TRK was part of the Torpedoes series. The ''Torpedo'' style was a new cartoon style introduced in 2005 and depicts a car as a skinny ''Torpedo'' like shape with outboard wheels. These models should work well on track sets but the exposed wheels make them more susceptible to bending axles. They're probably better suited for gravity-driven tracks than Wall Tracks or tracks with a [[Booster]]. This series appears to be loosely based off of the 2003 Kawasaki ZXR-9 Concept.
