-I think the chassis are Duratrax WarHeads. It says in their YouTube pg., that the commercial is from 2006. I wonder how we here in the USA missed out on that?

Yeah really, how did we get passed over on these. I had a Warhead for a little while. Pretty good truck until the transmission locked up 2 minutes before the guy buying it showed up. Doh!

it''s from Italy so you could probably order them, just never receive anything. :willy Postal/package service there is notorious for items missing. How many e-bay auctions you see with ''sorry, not to Italy''.

Many years ago the Italian postal service went on strike. When they opened back up there was so much backed up mail they didn't know what to do so they just burned it and started over. :bang Class act there.

I guess whoever makes those vehicles subcontracted them out to various companies (DTX included) and the Europeans got a good deal with having a RTR licensed monster truck.

-they'd have made a bundle selling those here. Makes me wonder if they have any other MT's there, & elsewhere in Europe, etc.:wnk

You really shouldn't complain. The amount of stuff I have to import from outside Europe for R/Cs is insane. I don't think I sourced any of the Tamiya or GPM parts gor my TXT-1 inside the EU, apart from the servos.

Add that to the fact we get harsher sales tax and more expensive fuel here and you really have it good over there :p

-I'm not complaining, I just liked the look of the HPI truck, no anger here:tmb, tho it's odd that some of the Co.s from other countries, (like Carson offroad trucks & buggies), etc. don't sell here, (tho maybe the do?).
