4wd, runs great. comes with fuel, freshly painted body, glow plug ignitor. needs new body posts, and batteries for the controller. Can hear run and drive it for a few minutes until the batteries give out. then the thing goes full throttle.
Bought it rebuilt some things on it. cleaned it up. Now have not touched it.
Its cleaner than that. That was the day i rebuilt the axels and took it for a test ride. And found out the person had the transfer case gears in wrong. But now 4wd works great.

KIT FEATURES * Chassis. Remember the DuraTrax Axis that we tested last month? The Quake uses the same chassis, and with its sweet blue color, it really stands out. A long, upper aluminum plate reaches from gearbox to gearbox and makes it nearly impossible for the chassis to flex. Except for the engine-mounting screws, all of the screws on the chassis’ bottom have been countersunk to keep them from hanging up on any obstacles (the motor mount is attached with button-head screws). A slot is cut out of the bottom plate so that a starter box can be used to start the engine if a non-- pull-start powerplant is installed later. The chassis’ layout is typical of most @9-scale buggies; the engine and fuel tank are mounted on the left, the electronics on the right. The radio box/servo plate is a one-piece unit that runs the length of (and lends additional stiffness to) the already overbuilt chassis.
Suspension. Once again, the Quake shares its parts with the Axis buggy. The truck’s front end consists of the typical lower A-arm with upper-link suspension that’s found on most cars. The upper and lower suspension pieces are marked with arrows pointing to the front of the truck. If you ever have to remove the suspension arms, the arrows will remind you how to install the arms. Hub carriers are attached to the end of the suspension links. Plastic hubs house the bearings for the front wheels. The truck’s rear end is set up a little differently; upper and lower wishbones are used to support the rear hubs via pivot balls. Two adjustable rods attach the rear hubs to the gearbox and allow you to adjust rear toe. The rear suspension even has adjustable caster. The lower hinge pins have a button head at one end and are held in the arm with a C-clip at the other end. All upper links have various mounting positions to choose from. The upper links are attached with long shoulder bolts. Blue-anodized shocks are attached to all four corners of the truck and provide smooth damping, The rear shocks are mounted in such a way that they come into contact with the bottom of the body posts when the suspension is compressed, but this is easily fixed with a little trimming
Steering. Twin bellcrank steering is used to guide the truck. The bellcranks pivot on strong steel pins that are fixed at the top and bottom, while the rod ends pivot on a ball stud that has been threaded into the ends of the bellcranks. A built-in servo-saver is included. Adjustable turnbuckles are not, but who cares? It’s a monster truck. If you really feel compelled to adjust front toe, the threaded tie rods will allow you to make the adjustment with only slight disassembly.
Drive train. Power is transferred from the engine to the drive train through a 3-shoe clutch and 14-tooth clutch bell. The center differential consists of a SIT main gear with a planetary gear differential inside. The front and rear differentials mate with the center unit via dogbone drive shafts. These diffs also use a planetary gear setup inside. The rear wheels are driven by dogbones; the fronts use universals. Two composite disc brakes slow the truck and can be adjusted individually.
The engine is the * .21-powered with pull-starter!
