RE: new to rc click here
As impressive as previous monsters have been, drivers have found weaknesses: limited adjustability, difficult maintenance, and a tendency to roll over in fast turns. DuraTrax is taking dead aim at these drawbacks, and more, with the unveiling of the Warhead 1/8 scale 4WD nitro RTR! It's a truly aggressive approach to monster truck design, because the Warhead excels at racing AND tackles tough off-road action better than any competitor...it's two top-of-the-line trucks in one! With its unique features, options as standard equipment, and combination of insane speeds and unstoppable power, the Warhead declares war on the monster truck competition!
An incredibly high true drive overclearance!
A whopping 3.75 inches from the ground to the skidplates, so it can go where others can't.
The most stable high-speed handling!
Thanks to its super-low CG, the Warhead stays put through full-throttle turns where other monsters roll over, and the ground clearance can be dropped to just 1.6" for maximum racing performance.
The ultimate in accessibility!
The Warhead's modular design allows entire component sections to be removed easily, making it much more maintenance-friendly.
The greatest potential for driver adjustability!
More than any truck on the market, the Warhead offers fine-tuning for any kind of track and terrain, including:
*Four roll center options
*30 different combinations of individual shock mounting
positions
*Adjustable camber links
*Adjustable front and rear toe-in; infinite for the front; 2°
or 3° for the back
*Adjustable steering Ackerman
*Adjustable body mounts
*2-speed transmission with adjustable shift point
*Adjustable slipper clutch
The flexibility to use a starter box!
For drivers who prefer using a starter box (a real plus for racing), the Warhead chassis is designed to be flywheel-accessible.
A large capacity (250cc) fuel tank means long run times.
The sealed radio box protects the factory-installed receiver and radio battery. The SX200 steering servo produces 124 oz-in of torque * nearly 40% more than the best stock servo in other trucks. Pre-mounted and glued, the tires also come with foam inserts installed, and the chrome wheels are T-Maxx/Savage compatible.
Eight metal Rapid-Tune* oil-filled shocks offer superior dampening, and they're adjustable. Aluminum roll bar protects the engine and fuel tank, and doubles as a carrying handle and pull-start "grip". Unlike the plastic pipes found on other popular monster trucks, the Warhead's tuned pipe is made of aluminum.
Dual composite disk brakes provide reliable, responsive stopping power.
An adjustable slipper clutch controls wheelspin and helps prevent gear damage.
CV (Constant Velocity) driveshafts reduce friction and cut backlash, for more power
to the wheels.
Check out these top-notch components!
A powerful .27 engine by SuperTigre©
This "big block" beast produces a massive 2.5 horsepower, and features a machined aluminum heat sink head, ABC construction, a metal carb and dual ball bearings.
A DuraTrax 3-channel pistol grip radio made by Futaba© A 2-position switch on the top of the transmitter allows for quick and easy shifting between forward and reverse on the radio's third channel. Modelers also get throttle and steering fine trims, an LED battery status indicator and more.
The patent-pending reverse mechanism on the 2-speed Posi-Shift* transmission requires no reversing clutch, and boasts steel reversing gears and a positive lock with no slipping.
The diff gears, bevel gears, drive pinion and ring gear are all made of durable metal.
Complete (22) ball bearings!
A DVD is included with helpful tips on engine tuning and preparing the Warhead for off-roading.
* Length: 22.375 in (568.3mm)
* Width (w/suspension arms level): 17.5 in (444.5mm)
* Height (w/body): 10.5 in (266.7mm)
* Wheelbase: 14.375 in (365mm)
* Front/Rear Track: 14.0 in (355.6mm)
* Ground Clearance (fully extended): 3.75 in (91.4mm)
* Weight: 11.9 lb (5.4kg)
* Requires: 12 "AA" alkaline batteries for the radio; glow starter; glow fuel (20% Red Alert nitro recommended)
The trim scheme on the rugged polycarbonate body is available in six different colors, and ready for the included decals to be applied.

RE: new to rc click here
Hello everyone. I have just got a terra crusher. It is used but in good cndition. However, there is only one problem which i am wondering whether is a problem all terra crushers have. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me. Firstly, the truck doesn't start very easily (i need to press the starter about 15 secs til it starts). Also, when the engine is already warm, it usually turns off if i dont press the gas. The most important however!!!, is that the brakes do not work at all!! When i run it (not necesarilly very fast), and then i press breaks (moving the throttle backwards), instead of braking, the truck starts going backwards(while going forwards, its gears start turning backwards), so this terrible noise is heard which tells me that something is going wrong in there.
PLIZ HAELP ME GUYZ. I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY1'S HELP.
Also one last thing, how much percent fuel should i run the terra crusher on (i am currently running it on 16 %)
Thanks
Markos

Any noob that got this far, forget anything you read before this post, and disregard anything after it. You could do better with an Enie Meanie Minie Moe. Just don't buy a POS off E-bay you can't get parts for.
