Has anybody on this board actually owned and broken a Duratrax product? I've broken everything I ever drove at some point, including my Savage - which is thought to be tough, and my Stampede - which IS tough.
My point is that Duratrax is an important manufacturer for beginner level enthusiests, and I don't think its fair to just rip em apart for no reason. I would never buy one of their trucks now because I have moved on from that nitch, but the Firehammer is a good big buggy and is probably a better vehicle than the Traxxas monster buggy.
I have a 2 Duratrax Intellapeak chargers, and a Piranah charger. Both work great. One had a problem when the inverter plug broke and they sent one out to me no questions asked. I am happy with them.
