Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2006Monster trucks
I am looking into purchasing a nitro monster truck and was needing some input on the new Warhead. If anyone has any information good/bad I would appericiate it! > I am looking into purchasing a nitro monster truck and was needing some > input on the new Warhead. If anyone has any information good/bad I > would appericiate it! Not that I go along with reviews in magazines, but the one I just read seemed pretty fair. It gave the Warhead bad marks. Durability was horrible. Its in a current issue. I think is the March issue of Xtreme RC Cars. >> I am looking into purchasing a nitro monster truck and was needing some >> input on the new Warhead.

Yea this is usually the case when you go for the less known brands - they don't stand up the beatings like those you can throw at a Savage/Revo/LST2.

While the Duratrax vehicle I own has been the best, most durable. Thanks for the input! Thanks for the input! Thanks the the input! Have any suggestions for a all around good truck? First Nitro Truck?? http://www.rcuniverse.com/index.cfm is a good site for reviews.. >I am looking into purchasing a nitro monster truck and was needing some > input on the new Warhead.

You need to find a forum that has warhead owners and read what issues that it may have from them. One place to look is RCCA boards. You really cant go by mag reviews. Hell MLST got a 9 out of10 in quality of fit and finish yet it has lots of slop. Rated high on durabilty yet you sneezes at it and a knuckle will break not to mention the paper gears. > I am looking into purchasing a nitro monster truck and was needing some > input on the new Warhead. If anyone has any information good/bad I > would appericiate it! Do you have any expirience with electric trucks? Is your heart set on a nitro? I've owned several Duratrax vehicles (Thunder Quake, Axis, Nitro Quake) and haven't been impressed with any of them. IMO, the quality is not up to the same level as Traxxas and HPI. My friend had great luck with his Savage (original version with the pull start). The most durable truck I've had is the REVO, but tuning it was a bear. I ended up changing the engine to an OS. The new 3.3 is out, but I haven't heard anything good or bad as of yet. It's expensive, tho. If you can swing it, go for a truggy. They are much more durable and nimble than a monster truck.

As for the new 3.3, I've heard a few stories about them throwing rods... SignatureDan Thanks for the imput Dan! Have a good one brother.......

I'm a big fan of the Revo actually, I wouldn't mind having a go with a 3.3. Seen a vid of one, and it didn't half shift. SignatureDan |
