RE: What is happening to Duratrax and tower hobbies
Just remembered, I owned a duratrax overdrive ST in the early 2000's, I would give it a D-... When I was breaking it in, there was some problem with the carb where it would close the idle gap when I gave it throttle. I ended up having to put a spring on it to hold pressure on the throttle arm to be able to run it. Before it was even fully broken in, it stripped both spurs (two speed) and that thing would spit out rear dogbones like a kid spits out liver.... The engine was terrible to tune... The worst part about it was that I sold it to my friend and bought a T-maxx.... poor guy....
