i was thinking of getting it.....good, bad, what ya think?

[Traxxas_Junkee]

ehhhh Duratrash, If you want a 1/5 I would say go for the HPI Baja. Looks like alot better quality.

[Ponch]

+1, Baja is way cooler for about 170 more.

what about the price i can get the "Duratrash" for from my friend....still not worth it?

[Ponch]

Honestly, not sure. Check around on ebay etc and see what they're going for.

[Green Hornet]

i was meaning more in general..... ive just allways wanted a 1/5 scale, and here was a chance to get one at a cheeper price.

i do like the look of the baja b5 better though....but ya a bit pricy.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

If he is a good friend, ask him to borrow it for a week and just drive it like it was yours and see if it breaks.

[Tex]

yeah your buddies for $550 is good if it's like new.

[ATA_Thrash]

Duratrack had a demo at the pro series... the truck broke and the buggy looked sad compared to the videos ive seen of the HPI. I try to get a used baja instead if u want to actually jump anything.

[Green Hornet]

thanks everyone...ill stay away from it.

Actually its not a duratrax, Its one of those FG monter buggy/trucks that has been rebadged. It is a good vehicle, but the B5 is purpose built and has a better design. But if you can get one of those cheap its fine! Its a gread tough basher and it is not made by Duratrax at all, but you have the support of Duratrax which is good. For everything bad said about Duratrax, they are top notch in service from my experience.
