My 1/5th Truck
Well i got to the hobby shop and the fg was sold![:@] He had the baja but no bow it was a demo so everbody could drive it so i said no to that one!
I bought the New Duratrax Firehammer Mt!
I havent ran it yet but i'm still ear to ear with gittie! It just wow, I should have done this moons ago.
For what i was going to buy this was so much cheaper.[8D] I got the orange body.
I'm charging the reciver pack as i speak to test out the gear.
What should i get next for it? sorry JUCD VPR i beat u toi getting one

Thats cool your happy with it, i hear the firehammer is nice. I'm wanting the FG MT more though. Let me know how you like it. ENJOY!

The first thing i would buy is the air filter that duratrax sells for the buggy. It is a better air filter than what comes on the truck. I put it on my truck and it made a lot of difference.

RE: My 1/5th Truck
yea i have owned several other nitros, cars, trucks, u name it i've had it. i just wanted to try something different and thats what i went with. compared to nitro run times are much longer on a tank of gas. it has a great ease of starting. it holds a good tune, and sounds awesome. the size of the thing is like no other. the power response that u get is tremendous compared to nitros. it has a strong clutch and great suspension. i think that it's the best thousand that i will ever spend. there is a couple of things that i do want to do to it but im not sure yet. i kind of want to put a tuned pipe on it and better suspension, and put it a better airfilter on it so it can breath better. if yur lookin to get into a 1/5th scale truck then this is for u. i have talked to the guy from model-works.org, his monster truck is the same thing as the firehammer mt, and he's good and easy to deal with. and he's legit.
