Default RE: HELP! SHOULD I NOT EVEN OPEN THE WARHEAD BOX AND SEND IT BACK?

When novice r/cers and a WH come together=a bad combination, I guess! I will agree that the engine, and radio were problems that alot suffered, broken parts haven't seen many myself. Cold weather was the common temp when people were braking parts.

Back when I ordered my WH I knew I was going to change alot of things with it, radio, engine, get rid of reverse change the tires/wheels. This may have something to do with it being good to me for the most part. I had some problems with the tranny OWB twice, but not bad for almost 9months of running and about 6 gallons of fuel. Not one problem with the plastic spur, I did replace it not for stripping , but for normal wear It will wear over 6 months. I did get rid of the header tank and later switched to the smaller race tank, I still have a problem chasing needles at times, it seems to happen when the tank is really full. When I had my tmaxx with a picco 26 I had the same kinda problem with the stock fuel tank and eventually replaced with a 1/8 buggy tank. When DT comes out with a updated racing tank will see how that goes and if it has a different p/u and baffling.

This last friday I raced the WH and I did have alittle trouble with it getting hot and flaming out but did finish 2 heats with no broken parts. After I was done with the second heat a guy came up to me and said" what kind of truck is that". I said the WH, and the first thing out of his mouth was isn't that a POS and I told him what did you think after seen it in action he replied Didn't look like a POS to me.

The majority has spoken and that is fine I don't mind being the only WH owner at the race track I go to. If more people would see a WH set up like mine I think some would have some positive comments also. Alot of negativity has come from those who never seen a WH run, just read.

I went as far as to offer to help the guy who started"anyone own a warhead" thread he only lives about 50 miles from me. I wanted to show him how mine was running and to see if we could get his to run good also, he said he would meet meet at a hs, but never showed so that was his loss.

So to end this, I won't defend the WH anymore I'm just going to keep doing what Ive been doing. I will race it again cuz the handling iiiiiiiiiissssssss ssssssoooooo ggggoooooddddd!
