OK expanding now

So the diffs are tough as nails, the tranny while I havent torn it down seems solid as can be. The cvds and drive components are nice, the arms, carriers, etc are HUGE and beeeefy! Its got a good solid foundation - its also not like a savage with the sideplates. the bottom plates come off and the motor, fuel tank, tranny, and electronics as a whole all coome out fairly easily.


STEERING/MOTOR - problems Ive had so far.

Motor, the thing seems to run hot, even during breakin and thereafter. There is alot of fuel but the lines are good and the tank is sealed....Today finally though I realized the gasket on the header sucks and therefor its not sealing well and leaking. Also I think Im losing some compression and the higher temps then I want are coming from that which is an easy fix - the motor seems strong - but the local track is really short so I cant really tell for sure but 31mph seems sorta low IMO......who knows - others here say they are faster then revos. There is a guy posting that his son has a revo and the son drove the warhead and said you better watch out dad... so who knows really.....motorwise big blocks are so cheap and there are so many to chose from.....worst case ill replace. Ya not what you want to do on a new truck but its 400 bucks so , whatever if you want more power.....u need more motor IE my revo upgraded to an 18tm.

Steering - I broke the lower servo saver part - connected to the drag link. I think I have the saver set toooo lose, and its realllllly cold here in MI so the combo snapped it when I hit the wall at the track coming around the corner. I boiled the replacment and it seems fine. Lastly the tie rod ends are weak, its cold - but I think whats happening is that when in lower race mode the suspension/steering are more parellel to the ground and when the shocks compress - they sorta touch the draglink and knuckle part they attach to and flex or snap in cold weather. To me, this is just a matter of a updated tie rod end, or other brand that works better....thats all.

The truck handles amazingly well on the track - it steers fine for me.

Overall for a 400 dollar truck its great. Its got its downs - ya whatever, all trucks do. But I like it alot so far. Change diffs on a revo lol......people will find flaws.....Im gonna give it a fair chance though.

I AM BUMP STARTING THIS BABY - gotttta love that too

Take care - im here to answer questions about the DTX WH!
