kulangflow · **Duratrax Axis conversion -** 02.19.2008, 10:08 PM

So, I wandered into a local pawn shop today and found an 1/8th scale buggy roller. The guy didn't know anything about it, and I ended up buying it for $30 because I figured I could eBay it for more if it didn't turn out to be "convertable" to a higher power.

Research led me to see that it's a Duratrax Axis. It doesn't appear that there's much out there for this particular vehicle, but I'm tempted to convert it just because it was so cheap, and I've already got an MM/9XL combo and servos lying around.

So, do any of you know much about this thing? Would it be worth my time converting it, or should I just ditch it and invest my time/$$ elsewhere?

Thoughts?

Oh, side note, I also bought a mini-T roller with tons of upgrades for $30. Eh, why not, right?
