I need an honest opinion on the DuraTrax Warhead, I have am opp to pick one up brand new for 50 bucks, is it worth it or should I buy it and eBay it?.

Jeez man for 50 bucks BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if it a huge turd it would still be worth having as your "whipping boy" truck!!!!!!!
Think about it you cant even get a desecnt set of tires for 50 bones!!!

Definately! For $50 it's well worth it. Actually, it looks like an ok truck from what's published. Probably more of a basher but who know's. And parts should be pretty easy to get.

Are you sure it's a warhead? The monster truck? As far as I know, they don't ship for a few more weeks.
Did it fall off a truck?

She said they just got the weds, and so I'm not sure why tower doesn't have them yey, of course tower is always out half the parts I need anyway so I go an see Joe at hobbytown go to Al's if I'm in the area. I think I see if I can get 2 one to bash and one to ebay to how it does.

I saw a warhead at leisure's old indoor track at the begining of 2005. It was like a brick on wheels going around the track but it seemed pretty tough. It's a savage copy
DuraTrax Warhead - bandit - 11-12-2005
a Savage copy eh?, hmm maybe I should stay away. J/k, I mean for the pirce, I don't think I going to pass it up. I mean if it for just for bashing, 50 bucks is not a bad deal. We will see. My cousin will send me it on Monday she said, so we will waht we get when it arrives. I post a full report.

with pics? please....lol

You can lower the ride height and put in lighter weight oil. It's got a bunch of shock position settings and you can adjust camber and toe in. It also uses Maxx rims so there's plenty of tire options. It may just surprise everyone when properly set up. And it's a big block with a two speed tranny!
