You see there's this loading dock where Bill "the guy with all the cool toys" volunteers and I was running in the parking lot, showing off for a bunch of the guys standing against the rail on the "Viewing Platform" and failed to make the turn! Well you guys know how cool it is to turn with one of the front wheels in the air! LOL It just doesn't turn as sharp as a REVO or TMAXX especially with the slick blacktop..........You don't think there's much give in concrete elite?

    Status: offline     		I hear ya elite, 2nd day with my 1st RC truck, TMAXX bulkheads, both front ones, head-on into another concrete structure. Same parking lot, showing off again. 1 day experience with RC anything, 3 tanks of fuel through the truck, full speed into the seeement. Everything seems different when you're looking at it from the side. LOL. My 1st investment $150 for 2 pair of aluminum bulkheads (still there today after many many impacts). I don't think it'll be long before the aftermarket stuff will be coming.

    Once again though, it was a pleasure removing the bulkhead from the WarHead compared to the TMAXX. I've done a lot of TMAXX bulkheads (only one of my trucks has the aluminum and my oldest son used to make a habit of nose diving the other and the wife put one of the EMAXXes under the wheel of my old Buick at full throttle too. OH yeah, landing on the back bumper, sure...rear bulkhead in a TMAXX, oh what fun!!!!!!!!! Oh, the Buick was parked, but the E was so jammed under the tire we couldn't push down on the shocks enough to get it out, had to put the car in neutral and push it backwards.

    Status: offline     		Hey wyd,

    I picked up my (son's) Warhead today. We where checking it out and noticed that one of the front tires rubbed (just one spot not the whole tire) on the metal peice that the turnbucket attached to. There is only maybe 1/4 clearance there.

    The guy at the shop tried to see what the problem was and it seams like the tire was just a little deformed at one spot and buldged out. He just swapped one on the rear with the front and it was good.

    My question is will this cause any trouble with vibration or anything like that?

    Is this normal to see something like this?

    I ride mountainbike and I know that tires don't come out perfect and it away have a little imperfections. I hate when it's the front tire I aways think my rim is bent.

    Do you think if I contact Duratrax they would send me a new tire?

    Thanks

    Status: offline     		If the tires are glued right, I doubt you'll find much problem. It'll probably be fine once you get the tires spinning and centrifugal force moves the foam inserts inside the tires.
