Ditto.
Sort of, "VERY entry-level".

There are many much better choices. I have owned the NQ, a Thunder
Quake, and a T-Maxx. Avoid Duratrax.

Why do you say that? I'm very happy with my TQ...

I saw a great little box-stock Duratraxx GP2 RTR at a track the other day,
and it handled/drove/looked great. Looked like good bang for the buck,
in my opinion. I can't talk about reliability since I don't own one.

On the ThunderQuake the only weak point is the shock towers. If you roll
the truck without the body on the shock towers take the brunt and bend under
the weight of the truck. I've hit trees, rocks, cartwheeled it, rolled it,
jumped it off a 8ft vertical face and haven't so much as bent or cracked
anything other than those shock towers. Perhaps I should learn to drive ;)

My buddy has a Nitro Quake, and it's basically an Axis with big tires. You
get a much better monster truck with just about anything that's designed to
be a monster truck. The NQ has a center diff that makes traction a
nightmare.

He could lock the center diff or get the Torsen Diff. Makes peformance
much much better.
Ive jumped my nitro quake to over 10 feet high repeatedly. Been very
very pleased with its durability. Thats whyI still have it after 4
years. I agree though with the other comment about the towers dont land
upside-down an 11-12 pound truck creates some force.

I just bought new rims, tires (zombie maxx) & F350 body will post pics
after installed.

It's just my opinion. I think there are better choices for the money
both performance and durability-wise. The quality of the materials, IMO
is lacking compared to others. The steel used for the outdrives bends
easily and it seemed like I was always fixing something or replacing
some broken part on my TQ and Axis. Not so on my T-Maxx, and it was
faster and cornered better.
