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.

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

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!
