On smome pages it Itally I found price more than 500 euro. This is very much if I comapre 229 dollars and 553 euro.

Please, be so kind somebody and let me know how it works and whis price is true.
I am from Czech Republic and here is no dealer of duratrax (
Tower hobbies I see as good shop. Is it good choice?

Thanks for your ansvers.

That's US dollars.

OK, thanks.
Do you know why he price in euro is to high? I see it as bad joke.

ByPS2004

One more question.
the axis at http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNY18&P=7 is for $229
It is very low coast. I read taht it contains engine. It is true? The price is very low. All other web shops sells Axis for $540 or $470.
The Axis on TowerHobbies contains all ehat is wroten in specification?

nope, you just need a radio, glow plug and fuel. If that is $540 US dollars you would be much better off getting a better buggy. Have you looked at the ofna buggies?

The price on towerhobbies is correct for the prebuilt version. The RTR version goes for $279 US. I have to say the RTR is a very good practice car since everything is already to go, but after you double check the screws. I'm learning off this buggy. For buggies running in the 540 Euro or US $$, the shops should be showing some of the higher Kyosho Infernos, Ofna Hypers/MBXs and so forth, but not the Axis. $229 US = ~$180 Euro

Hallo, yes I know more buggies such ofna hyper or hobao or jyosho, but they have high prioce for me. Now I have 1:10 Thunder Tiger buggy. it is perfect, but 1:8 is my love form firt view. The price is for me good a the car is not bad as I read on the web. With some hop-ups I can get better axis ang go to race.
I am still begginer. Radio system, servos, fuels and glow plugs I already have got. The Axis for $229 is perfect for me.

Thanks for answer. The high prices which I wrote are by axis. 530 euto by axis. I do not understand.
I enjoy for the Axis )

ByPS2004

Sure, the prebul version i want. the RC system i have got from my old car.
I meke sure that the high prices are not for other vcas sush is koyosho, but not.
And is something wht you can recommend to me for the using of axis?
Can I buy with axis some erplacable parts? I don't know, tho front bumber? tires? stabilisers? or clutch or gears?
The shipping will be $60 and is good to buy something which can be broken and replaced.
with thanks,
ByPS.

On top of normal items, such extra glow plugs and tires, I'd pick up set of new differentials. After three months of driving this car my diffs went out. See duratrax.com for the parts sheet on the AXIS.

ByPS2004

OK, the page I know and i will look at it one more time (I have got it printed). Please, can you recommend soem better tires on tower-hobbies? I plan go on suraces as is grass, forest road, dirt and on-road ways ot parking lots.
Tip for tires, discs and foam inserts will be super information.

The diffs I wil buy to my store for future use.

And you are you satisfied with GEAR and clotch bell? is this good? I have got bad expirience with my smaller nitro model, there this went out for shot time of use from begin.

Thenks for you infors whis is for me relevant information what to buy with Axis.
Do you have any pictures ot videos? I found no so much pictures on the web (

Regards, ByPS

Yub, yub, cmdr!

From what I heard, Axis is not a good buggy for racing []

Do a search for Duratrax Axis.

If you plan to race you might want to look at a better buggy. The [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAXV1&P=7]Ofna MBX Pro RTR[/link] would be a better buggy to start with if you plan to race. I know you don't want to spend much but a little more now can be worth a LOT more later. The MBX is tough as nails & can take a lot of abuse. Good luck on whatever you get!

ByPS2004

The Ofna MBX PRO looks very good. The price is friendly.
I will look in my country, the HoBao distributors are Graupner here, maybe Graupner can provide this car.
Hyper 7 PBS Graupner is selling and another? This I have to determine.
I understand that more momey at begin can save money letter. I understand.
Thanks for the tip!

tpeep

i just want to know how does DuraTrash stay in business?

ByPS2004

You do not like DuraTrax, didn't you?
I seen here the Graupner Hyper 7 (the same as HoBao). It is perfect car.
I suppose to buy this car, but latter, I have to spare.
