Duratrax Evader EXT2 1/10th Scale Stadium Truck
The four new trim schemes and the split 6-spoke wheels? Strictly for show. But everything else about the Evader EXT2 is strictly for "Go-go-go!" A Photon Speed 2 motor delivers the speed, a proven Sprint ESC provides precise control and treaded all-terrain tires put power to the ground anywhere you go. They're all included...and like the metal-capped oil shocks and onboard gear for the Tactic 2-channel radio, they're ready to take off-road by storm.

Affordability, durability and performance. That's what every first-time driver wants and that's exactly what the DuraTrax Evader EXT2 RTR delivers - and then some!

Tough MagnaFlexTM Chassis

Off-roading is a breeze for the injection-molded MagnaFlex chassis. It's ultra-tough to absorb impacts and everyday wear and tear.

Complete Ball Bearings

A complete set of ball bearings provides smooth, reliable operation and extended life.

Precision Metal Idler Gear

A metal idler gear helps make the EXT2's durable, long-lasting tranny off-road ready.

The performance enhancements begin with the included Photon Speed 2TM motor, which delivers quick acceleration and awesome top-end speed. The SprintTM Electronic Speed Control offers forward, brake and reverse, while the battery hold-down accommodates 6-7 cell NiCds/NiMHs and 2-cell LiPos. Please note that a low-voltage cutoff (LVC) is required to use LiPos.

Killer looks!

Want to trick out your Evader EXT2? Plenty of hop-ups are available for unlimited upgrading possibilities.

The Evader EXT2 RTR is rough, tough and ready for off-road action. Everything a first-time driver could ever want is included, so they're guaranteed to get hooked on the first drive!

Great truck, better value, very durable
My boys (8, and 10) drive these trucks hard. They have a skateboard ramp they use as a jump. These trucks launch into the air and have taken quite the beating. We did kill a spur gear, but that's only because the tranny had loosened up unknowingly. Duratrax does say to check the tranny mount screws for tightness every so often. Oh well, only a $3 part. Overall this is a great truck. Don't bother with the Walmart or ToysRus R/C cars. This truck uses the same batteries and parts the big boys use, but in a beginner package. I would recommend an extra battery and 15-minute quick charger. We get around 10-12 mins of full throttle running on 3000mAh batteries. Overall, 5-stars, highly recommended.
UPDATE: Dec 13, 2012 - These trucks are still going strong. I've had to replace the motor on one, an A-arm, and a pinion. I wouldn't say this is any fault of the truck or manf. My boys drive these things rough! We began using 7 cell batteries (probably why the motor went out) for extended run...

Can with stand kids
I wanted to get my kids some thing beyond the toy RC cars but I did not like the 200 - 300$ price tag I saw out there. Then I saw one of these at a local hobby shop. Great Ready to drive Car. A 9 and 10 year old have just spent two solid days doing just about any thing that could be done to them. Very good deal for the money and my poor Blue Heeler is worn out. One Issue, get extra battery packs and a rapid charger cuz a 3 hour wait for a child is for ever or so they say over and over again.
get the traxxas.
this is just my opinion. take it for what it's worth
i have bought 3 duratrax units. 2 buggies and a truck. they are all very similar. the trucks are pretty much the same as the buggies with the exception of bigger tires and wider control arms and the gearing is different because of the tire size. most of the parts are interchangeable. the shocks on the truck are bigger.
i bought the original buggy to bash around with in my back yard. then i bought the truck and another buggy for parts.
the shocks break fast. they are very poorly made. of coarse, when you buy new ones you have the option to upgrade to the aluminum shocks that are built for these (add this up).
the motors smoke pretty fast (i always break mine in and use a smaller pinion to try and save the motor). at 15-20 bucks a pop, they get pricey fast.

my point is, after you add up the stuff that's going to break right away, the price gap between this brand and the better brands, such as traxxas or...
