Sorry I didn't get the links up right away.



Picked her up for $30.00. Needs servo's and a remote, but it runs fine. Needs a lil cleaning though.

Any clue as to what it is? Aside from a 4wd shaft driven monster truck? Seems to have a pretty good bit of Aluminum hop ups on it too Go me.

Thoughts?

BTW, the car is my bro is laws.. Its an HPI dorifto mobile . Took the pic for size reference :P

**Edit** All pics are up now.. Sorry they werent when I first posted.

That's a deal for $30!

I'm gonna guess:

Hpi Nitro RS4-2

Ofna Dominator? [sm=confused.gif]

ThermalRD

Nope, thats no Dominator. It looks like one of the old Duratrax MT's. What were they called.... Nitro Quake, and Thunder Quake? Something like that.

ThermalRD

Hmm.... Heres some info. [link=http://www.duratrax.com/pdf/dtxd74-sell-sheet.pdf]duratrax pdf thingy[/link]

mac_24_seven

I believe your right... It's a duratrax.

I'm havin a hard time finding a servo for it though. Even on the PDF file you linked me to, it doesn;'t list the steering or throttle servo.
WTH?

ThermalRD

Those should be common size servos. Should be able to use whatever brand you like.

As I have learned. I was looking for a Dura Trax brand servo's :P

I'll eventually end up with a new Traxxas Nitro Stampede.. But this'll be a good learning experience. Lets hope this duratrax is not too big of a piece of junk that disillusions me out of the hobby. The local hobby shop does carry parts for Duratrax stuff, so at least I'll have a near by resource.

Fortunately it looks like a Nitro Quake, the ThunderQuake's 2 speed w/rev. tranny is a total POS. I have a Thunder Quake that's been sitting idle for a few years because the tranny chewed through 2 sets of gears after putting a hotter engine in. I am in the process of maching a new tranny shaft that will allow me to put an OFNA two speed assembly in it and do away with the clunky rev. unit. The TQ would have been a great truck if not for it's tranny, yourNitro Quake should be pretty durable given that it's a single speed tranny. If you haven't picked up a servo yet I would recommend something like a HiTech 5645MG at the very least, those tires need a strong servo. The stock servo wasn't quite strong enough for a truck that size.

Good Luck
