My second Ofna is my 1/8 scale Titan DLX. I bought this one off ebay and was told it had a .25 in it. The guy didn't know it really had a Hpi.21 in it. He didn't know much about it. He said he bought it from a friend. I took out the .21 and pipe because it wasn't enough power for this heavy truck. I then put a Nitro-star.25 and a new cluch and a tuned pipe in it and the truck now moves rather well for it's weight. I also upgraded the servos to JR high torque servos, rebuilt the diffs center,front and back. It has a 2 speed trans, It came with the yellow body from the seller. Futaba FM magnum Jr. radio system. I bought the purple body and the Digger body. I really love the digger body . It looks so good on this BIG truck. The purple body is the everyday driver body. It is bigger than my Savages The yellow body pic is the day after I received it before I put all the new mods on it. A couple of months later I bought the new bods This truck is as durable as a Savage! New engine and mods added!

It's huge Wider and longer than the Savage. It's really heavy. It has a two teer plate system on the bottom which are both alum. which really adds weight to the truck. It is nearly impossible to get the front wheels off the ground even when trying to jump. I tried at the Monster jam last January in Council Bluffs, IA. I couldn't get it to lift off the ground. It kept rolling over the jumps like I was driving a very hilly road. It's like a bowling ball on wheels! LOL It gets up and takes off great and is very stable. It won't tip over just not a good jumper or wheelie truck. I get sick air with my Pirate and my Savages!

Here are some pics from last January from the MONSTER JAM show in Council Bluffs Iowa The arena holds about 18.000 people. It was totally cool listening to the crowd cheer if you completed a jump or a big awww! If you miss and crashed! I had already broke the bulkhead on the Pirate b4 these were taken. Check the General RC"S section of this site for the damage picsI posted in BAD CRASH PICS Had the yellow body on the Titan.. I had not bought the new bodies yet for the Titan And I didn't break anything on the Titan the rest of the weekend. The show was AWESOME! We will be doing this again next January I can't wait! My Titan truck is in the bottm right. Warming em' up before the show! Runnin' theTitan over the hills Me sizing up the ramp for the jump over the cars
