Good find, would like to get more details on this. Duratrax usually includes some decent features for a nice price. Sure wish it was 1/10th though

Technically the WK is 1/12 and the TLT is 1/18. Maybe these will be the perfect size? I hope one of "experts" has some info.

everything duratrax makes is cheap, both in price and quality... Don't get me wrong, they have great designs, they just need to put a little more coin into the manufacturing process. I swear, EVERY duratrax car we ever sold came back within 24 hours needing repair. if these are ment for serious crawling, they are going to take some serious upgrades. my $0.02 |

I heard the duracrap rap before i picked up my miniquake. I got one anyway, and I was impressed by it, especially the one year stresstech guarantee on the chassis and suspension components. I have been beating the crap out of my MQ for about two and a half years now and only been through 4 steering knuckles and a couple of diffs, and this is with a 5000kv hyperion and 3s lipo. it has bounced back time and again. I'll definently be looking forward to this thing coming out. |

ok, i was a little harsh, their mini's aren't bad, mini quake, vendetta, vendetta st. but every evader (st, st pro, bx), nitro evader (st, bx), and warhead all are fragile. |

I think this is great! Im glad more companies are stepping up and providing the crawling world with more options. No matter how well the quality of a product is, or is not, there will always be upgrade parts.

At least Duratrax has the forsight to be one of the first MAJOR manufacturers besides Tamiya to get involved. I give HPI credit for coming out with a converison.. So what if there are noobs? Do you want the sport to progress? Then you have to let new people try it. I am a nitro buggy fan. But I decided to give the ax10 a try because I wanted something fun. Not have a serious rig. Now i am converting it to a scale truck, and I have enjoyed working on my ax10 more than my Mugen. And i realized how cool crawlers are and more about electric vehicles. No offense to anyone but I find electric race buggys boring. But if it wasnt for the ax10 I would have nothing fun to play with. Besides my girlfriend.

| Of course we do... but we would also like to see smarter n00bs not asking the same question 50 times a day, and complaining when we say "Use the search button, it's on here already". If they are a little smarter, and not wanting every bit of info spoon fed to them, we might be a happier group of people. |

my lhs has not heard of the duratrax truck yet but from what is available on the web its still 3 months out so im not surprised we have not heard anything yet duratrax is not a brand that spends alot of time or money in advertising i hope it is a rock crawler...the more trucks on the market the better it just means more parts and more inovation for us |

With the guarantee they have and whatever they make their parts out of you should be able to pound on these pretty decent. My ex g/fs nephew had a Duraterd buggy and he beat the SHIT out of that thing and never managed to break it.
