what do you mean a toy? 1/8th buggies are in a class all their own for durablility and speed. no other rc can touch them for their versatility. they are better jumpers than monster trucks, more durable than gt's, and can give some onroads a run for their money. you can get that truck to go as fast as you want if you dump a wad of cash into it. but it wont be half as durable as a stock 1/8th
btw, dont let the brand bother you dude. i wouldnt win a race just because i had nikes on. i owned the duratrax evader for my first truck and it was a blast. replacement parts were free under warentee, and if i had gotten another truck with all its features i would be spending a good 2-3 times more. dont judge a product merely by the label people slap on it. for example, is the ofna gt lx pro really a buggy that pro's use? no.

I took my completely stock Axis buggy to my track today. Went up against 3 Hyper 7's, and MBX Pro, 2 Mugen's and a 9.5...guess who won? I did, me and my "Duratrash Axis" 100% stock except for 17mm wheel hubs and TRC tires and wheels, jumping well over 9 feet, not a thing broken. After that I went home where there is a cop that catches speeders by our street...had him clock me....53.987mph yes completely stock.
Ok, Im bragging here and getting rude, but I just want ed to KILL any beleives that duratrax products are junk.
Anyone agree?

Sorry, I dont get that at all. I have a thundertiger EB-4 as well as my axis. Im not saying that my Axis is any better than the EB-4 I just wish more people would give it a chance. Just because I have driven the other buggies your referring to doesnt mean I own them. My Dad Works AT DIY on "Radio Control Hobbies" If I go into work with him, I can drive around the cars they have there. And they have almost all of them in the supply room. Just to show that Im not kidding.
Why to I feel alot of anger here?
oh, Racer6888 I agree on the Exterminator. I think its a great buggy, in fact it won RC CARS RTR buggy shootout. If you want more speed out of that buggy, add 2 more teeth to your clutch bell. The engine definitly has enough torque to turn it, and you will gain a few more MPH

That is pretty funny...I never heard anyone say Duratrash either. The track I go to, everybody brings all kinds of cars but nobody says anything nasty about anyone else's equipment.

Just keep up the goodwork
Just keep winning and you never know Duratrax will go to National's and you will be a sponsored driver for them.
Just keep proving it on the track and ignore what people say. Drive the car as much as possible, get enough practice, and join some Nationals around your area and prove them wrong about that specific manufacturer.
It would be wake up call to those people @ your track. Everytime you win especially in the 30 min. A main, then they ask you what kind of car and motor you were running. They will be suprise what is under the shell. I think you need to address this to the racers @ your track because I never read any names besides Duratrax!!
good luck!!

Honestly,
@ our area people will say this brand is better than the other because they never hit the track.
Once you go to a bigger track where there are a lot of competition. Most people does not talk about anyones products. Unless, the racer who is using it started telling everyone that he pick a wrong motor, car etc.
Those trash talker @ our area usually will stop talking crap once they hit one of our big tracks and usually race 15 min. main
This 15 to 45 main is not what kind of car. Its the matter of which car will run till the end of 90 degree F in 15 to 30 min.
Any car can win the race, its up to the driver how he handle his car on the track.
Imagine this if Mark Pavidis, Yuichi Kanai, or Kenji Osaka set up and race your car. They have a great potential to win not because they use a certian product. This drivers are manufacture drivers its their job to drive. They race because they are having fun and getting paid. Also, they have been driving and competing for years. They will try anything to win!!
