Default RE: Warhead????

Warhead looks good so far. Nothing like the Raptor... Look how low the muffler and engine are- that is a plus= lower COG. Pretty big shocks too.

I think some more trucks SHOULD take Traxxas's lead and get the Pillow Ball type suspensions integrated. IMO The C-Hub setup is DATED; look at all of the next GEN 1/8 scale Buggies. Mostly if not all PBS. I just think PBS is more precise and remains tighter for a longer time. Doesn't look like the warhead has PBS- just a knuckle c-hub. My Savage felt sloppy within a matter of weeks, no matter what I did.

Body... Meh. Guess MFG's just don't like paying the license costs to get a nice body like the old school days (Kyosho and Tamiyas Toyota's Chevy's Fords right off of the showroom design). Just looks like another RTR cheap body. These manufacturers need to realize, sad but true, that people will buy these based on just how they look. People used to buy Blackfoots to get a Ford. Big Brute to get a Toyota. USA-1 and Clod to get a Chevy.

WHEN is a manufacturer going to step up and put a regular body on an RTR and not these bubbly, cartoony cheesy looking bodies? The licensing CANNOT be that much... Proline, Parma, HPI and more do it!
