Thunder Quake .. why is this not a good truck?
what is so bad about this truck?? I only see negative things mentioned if I see anything at all.. I put the t-maxx wheel adapters on and it screams.. seems so well built, engine starts and runs great.. what the heck is wrong with this thing?? thanks!!

I don't know about the truck it self but,
The engine runs great,keeps a tune and has plenty of power! My brother did have problems with his Nitro Demon but, he does not have any Patience either! :surprised He could not get the engine tuned right and he gave it to me so, I took the engine and put it in one of my Maxx's and had it tuned in less than an hour! It wheelies all day long and the top speed is not too bad either!

LOL
Go to the bank and beef up your line of credit... LOL
I've been into this since last spring, and I have over 10 now. And, I still check ebay every day for deals. It's a sickness I think...
I do have a NitroQuake which is very similar to a TQ. It's not a bad truck. Just little things bother me about it, and I hate the shock towers (mine tend to bend every run). I've never had any issues with the diffs. Overall, the fit and finish is not as nice as the other major brands either...little details like the cheesy radio box.
