Well here I go again. I really enjoyed the Project Cheap-O-Maxx so I bought another cheap truck to rebuild and it just arrived yesterday. It looks to be in fairly good shape and shouldn't take a lot to get it going but there is no deadline so it may take longer to complete. Ok, probably not! I already have all the parts on the way to complete it!
Here's what I bought to start with. It's a Duratrax Warhead(not EVO). It came with the radio,original manual,papers,dvd, a rechargeable ignitor, tools and a couple of extra glow plugs. It's even in my favorite color!
Some careful inspection revealed the few things it'll need. A new spur gear, rod end for the steering link, and skid. I guess Duratrax doesn't use any coatings on the steel parts, they all have surface rust on them but that'll all get polished off!
So there she is. I'll have parts by the end of the week but I still have a couple of other items to fix first, so there probably won't be any updates at least until then.
Warheads aren't real popular on RCNT, is there a just reason for that? We'll soon see. I like to try things myself so I'll see what I think after I get some run time.
I know there are some Duratrax haters, but any/all comments welcome.
Enjoy the pics
