Hong Nor Tarantula/OFNA Titan Monster Truck

[cwstevens]

Anybody got any info on Hong Nor's new truck the "Tarantula"?

[TMx]

whats that?

[Possumbot]

yea,i remember seeing that in a thread about the new futaba radio or something, the thing is huge compared to a dominator, i'll try to find the pic.

[fezzy]

There was rumour of it coming with a 4-Stroke. It could be pretty cool if it did.

[TMx]

OMG that thing is sweet. Any price rumors? Thx

[extremetmaxxer]

it dwarf the lil dominator! im a t-maxx guy all the way but....damn! i want!

[cwstevens]

according to the post from the hobby show and according to an e-mail i got from hong nor it will be released in japan with a 4 stroke but it will be distributed (sp) by Ofna over here with a .21 force.

[RC action1]

Thats lame! If you know When will they release it here?

[hardcoretmaxx]

wow thats thing is big

[fezzy]

I have a Dom and it by no means looks small to me, but that thing dwarfs it big time... It must be bigger than a Terra.

[NitroOwnsYou]

OMG another OFNA for me to buy! I love OFNA! Schweet!

[Bullet 87]

Ok i know it didn't come out yet but i am very interested in it. If ya see it let me know what it is like.

[mojoman]

4 strokes are harder to tune:confused: :mad: :mad:

[hardcoretmaxx]

Hong Nor Tarantula/OFNA Titan Monster Truck is that the same truck and do you think that that big of a truck would brake more like a MP with those huge tires and when you jump it that the momentum of the tires would screw it up in the air

[morfracerX]

last news i got guys the new ofna mt will come with that new ofna .25

[mercenario27]

I called Ofna yesterday and all the told me was that it was coming out in a couple months, no other information. Does any one else have pictures or any specs on the Titan?

[cwstevens]

A buddy of mine in my club has a really good conection at ofna and he says that they have a demo truck in there hands, and he is saying its bigger than the monster pirate and will tell us more after they run it.

[Crashmaxx]

They have it on tower hobbies now. $989.99 I hope that price goes down. Here's a link to it:OFNA Titan (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p.pgm?Q=1&I=LXDBU6&P=7)

Hey, if you backorder it a that price and the price drops before they send you one, how much do you end up paying?

[moep]

humm...

Tower's Low Price 989.99

of course, tower always specifies the prices 100-200 $ higher than they will actually cost when stocking, but 800$ is still a bit much for this truck, isn't it? :rolleyes:

[RC Jack]

Someone said in another post that Tower, even before the truck is released, posts the list price. I can't believe this truck will be nearly $1,000!! Considering that the new T-Maxx will be about the same price as the old T, at $1,000 each, they won't sell many!! How many 7/11's are people gonna hafta knock over to get one?:D

[Possumbot]

isnt this the titan? probably 500 600 for 1, ofna isnt stupid enough to sell a truck for 1000.

[fastruck]

the ek4 with a .70(biger than .25) sells for 499 and it is not RTR but with the radio servos make it run is not even close to that price $989.00.

and the Madforce is $449 and with combo pack it is only 559
agin not even close to the titan.

600 will sound better for this truck.

maybey that they ?(LOL) goin to have the 4 stoke version in the usa one day and that will cost $1000.

but 989 maybe thats a error in price it's not advertise on ofna site like the dominator RTR is.

just a though to exersize the brain.

[RC Jack]

If that $989 is not an error, there may be a lot of divorces over this one!:D

Granted, the Titan is really.....spiffy, that's just waaaay too much money, considering it's made in a country where labor & manufacturing rates are extremely low! Making a profit is one thing, laughing all the way to the bank is quite another!!

[Nitro Power Kid]

I agree with Possombot, Tower tends to throw out a price (usually MSRP) and then later the actual price is much lower. Don't bother comparing the Titan to the "new" Tmaxx, all of the eye candy aluminum upgrades are stock on the Titan, along with the high torque steering servo, cva's, slipper, 3.2 mm plates. You get what you pay for. I suspect the retail will be in the $600-$700 range but will probably drop with time.
NPk's dad

[moorerc]

Just look at the Dominator. It start on Tower for $650 I believe, and now it's down to $550. Or you could go to Ace and get it for $475. What ever the reason for the price, that things looks wicked! It looks much stronger than the Maxx, and simple plastic wrap cover around the gears will keep the dust and dirt away.

[drader]

Anyone know if they are going to use better diffs? Or the same one's that kept snapping in the Monster Pirate?

[robc]

First off, the Titan is made for Ofna by HONG NOR, the Monster Pirate is made for Ofna by HO BAO so they share no parts. Second, the diff problem is ancient history. My original diffs are a year old, 3 gallons through them, and beaten regularly. The Dominator has alum. diff cases, and these can be put in a MP for $12 each.

[drader]

I ask because Ace told me the newish cast aluminum cases work fine with Dom tires, but shred with the bigger MP tires. The only option is the $99 CNC diffs, and you need 2.

[morfracerX]

sime info and a video i got from ofna (http://24.76.40.199/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=279)

[Maxx Lover]

GIME GIME GIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i have a t-maxx, and i love it (big surprise), but the titan is the sweetest thing. A .25 + 8 shock suspention + 2 speed = hell for the neighbors. I am getting one, if i have to kill all the OFNA staff to get it :D

[Maxx Lover]

im just playin' , OFNA, you know i love you :D

[RCtinkerman]

Ok the price is now $719.00 at Tower Hobbies.:D Come on a little more please:p

[NitroRookie]

Who here thinks the Titan is better than the Savage from the info available ?

[Jasio18]

here is my view
.21 and .25


uhhh, i'll take the .25

thats my 2 cents

[robc]

Titan weighs 3 lbs more, much heavier duty truck, way better shocks (aluminum vs plastic), better and stronger steering servo( 144 oz vs the 90 oz Savage servo). Only upgrade the Titan needs is a FM radio. More expensive than the Savage but you get what you pay for.

[NitroRookie]

Does anybody know if the titan comes with reverse or is it a forward only truck ?

[robc]

Forward only.

[NitroRookie]

Is there going to be a reverse module for the titan.

[jives]

/me grabs glass of water throws on Credit card "Down boy Down" :D

[aluminumcrusher]

Folks me and my buddy was at the hobby shop the other day and i must say the truck looks good like the old school crushers. we both wanted to buy one but the price is to high. i never would have thought that ofna would put such a high price tag on one of their kits; i mean they usually give you your money worth, they must be under new management, like some one from tower hobbies or kyosho. so we both said down credit cards down, so we decided to wait and see what the savage & monster-gt looks like in person,they are in our price range. SORRY OFNA YOU DON'T GET OUR MONEY THIS TIME.

[pops5486]

I am going to pick up my Titan tommrow...figure 620 bucks is worth it because its already a BIG block, mostly aluminum, a 2 speed, good servos, and a fail safe all standard. Just wondering about the 2 speed...is it a smaller pinion and larger spur gear for top speed or the other way around...i can't WAIT!!!!
Thanks for the help!

[jives]

Tower's Price is steep $720 puts it out of my reach for now. I've seen ads for $599 RTR. I'd still like to see an 80% w/ or w/o engine just to lower the initial hit on the CC and be able to choose my own servos and radio. If they release a version with engine for around the same cost as the Mad Force or w/o engine for less I’ll probity jump on it.

Take a T-Maxx or Savage add 4 aluminum shock and you’re getting cost to $500, you can get an EK4 for $500 but you still need radio/servos and starter. So a $600 price tag on the Titan isn’t all that bad but $700…

Hopefully they will drop in price.

Thanks for the help! Hey pops it's a larger pinion & smaller spur gear for 2nd=top speed, and here in cleveland only one hobby store has it for now at $750.00 bucks he must be smoking crack!!!

Hopefully they will drop in price. The ek4 sucks because of the high price with no radio gear, and it only hit willies. the titan it takes off real fast and by keeping all four tires on the ground and has great top speed. it also has to great of a top price for me. have fun pops and all who buy's one.ps and it sits up like an real monster; no flat pan like the ek4. by for now ALUMINUM CRUSHER...

[cbr74]

The Titan, like the Dominator and many other Ofna kits, will be available as a rolling chassis and as an 80% (ie: engine, but no radio).
Look for the rolling chassis to be somewhere in the $400 ish range.
This is the option i will seriously be considering since I have three good FM radios and a NIB Force .25. All I'll need is a good strong steering servo to be good to go.

[NitroRookie]

I tell you what. If I had the money to get the Titan I get one in a heartbeat. Because it's one sweet lookin Gigantic Truck.

[Mt killer]

I understand your logic here on the EK4. Now I have to say I'm a pround owner of a EK4 with the following upgrades
1. MSJ starter
2. MSJ Head
3. 18 tooth clutch bell
4. monster pirate wheels and foam (for looks)
It is the best example of why I bought a nitro monster truck that I have come across. I used to have monster pirate with a metal two speed and super hot motor (G-1 picco) but then a guy showed up to my local BMX track and he let me drive his stock EK4. I lost my mind and sold my Monster pirate and my .21 T-maxx. I was the same guy that seen the Nitro magazine's movie and said "it wasn't anything I didn't aready have with my MP" But once I took her around the track a few times. All of that changed and now I have my EK4. It has had it's problems like any new MT. But the new Version twos have been a huge sucess story up to this point. At this point I'm runing real crazy with no problems!

I ran with a Titan the other day! That is one of the best trucks on the market with out question. It is beyond belief how well that huge truck performs. I even got to swap remotes with the owner. It was kinda funny becuase he fell in love with my Ek4 just as I did with the Titan. I can honestly say that the Titan is a very strong argument for me to get yet another RC! I have to say that it would not be easy to compare the EK4 to the Titan. Do you want a truck that will tower over everything and have the agility of a cat? or do you want a huge well balanced truck that has the most power you can even imagine in a nitro? I have to say you would have to drive them to decide. I would hate to have to choose. I'm just going to have them both (if my christmas sucking up works out!) The Titan would be the best bang for the buck right out of the box if you ask me. But then again your going to hop it up anyway so once again we have a pardox! LOL! both trucks are Bada$$ period! Drive hard which ever one you decide!
:cool:

[pops5486]

Picked up my TITAN today...took a week to ship the friggin thing from texas to new york...damn ups...anyways all i can say about it is WOW!!!!....over and over again wow...its huge and damn is it heavy...i really wanna break it in today but i am gonna wait till tommrow after i check everything over and loctite everything...one quick question: this is my first ofna and apparently need a hump 6v pack, does the ofna one fit directly into the reciever box...i have a flat pack but it don't fit...ahhh well....i will keep y'all up to date with this MONSTER!!!!

[pops5486]

Ok i tried to break in my titan today and am having some problems: 1st off as soon as I start the engine the fail safe goes on and off I have no control of the thing, secondly when i do have control as soon as i hit the gas it shuts off...this isnt my first gas car but i am stumped...any suggestions? I checked everything and cant figure it out...please help

[misio]

The only think that I did with my new titan was 2-speed, it was set that truck was only on 2-nd gear, with motor I just add one more shim for had and am running 30% mugen fuel and runs very good is rich but it runs good. Once is cold I have some problems to start, I have to open some gas.
It has good take off and runs very nice – I just love that truck.

[pops5486]

Anyone know if you can convert the .25 pullstart to something like a drill start (like on the Schumacher Fusion...got some wicked black and blues on my fingers

[aluminumcrusher]

I THINK THE PULL STARTS ARE GREAT NO XTRA EQUIPMENT TO CARRY AROUND, ALWAYS KEEP AN XTRA PULL START WITH YOU IN YOUR TOOL BOX. AFTER THE ENGINE IS REALLY BROKEN IN THE PULL START SHALL LAST A LONG TIME....ENJOY!

[tmaxxinbud]

hey,

i dont really want to bring the Titan into this forum, but there are no other forums. I am going to buy a new MT, but i cant decide on which one. I have it down to the Savage and Titan. They both sound like very nice trucks. Mostly what i want in a truck is the best suspension from the factory, a very quick truck with reasonable amount of top speed, one that handles great, and a reliable truck. I want this stuff from the factory because i will not be able to do many upgrades for a while. The types of driving i will be doing include: any kind of off-road bashing, jumps, maybe a few races, and just driving around on the roads. that is why i want good suspension, torque, and speed. I have considered the new T, but it does not sound reliable (a-arms breaking, plastic gears breaking). i will most likely be waiting for the Monster GT, but i am trying to figure out which is better for me now.

P.S. The same message is in the Savage forum so i can get most responses

[NitroRookie]

It the TITAN RTR the best Nitro Monster Truck since sliced bread. The RCCA guys that did the test drive of the Titan liked it alot. The only things they didn't like was the weak brake servo and the light bar blocking the glow plug access.

[t-maxxismonster]

I saw the titan in person it is small (but has a huge engine) onroad type tires way over priced for what it is and it is SMALL mush smaller than you think:(

[misio]

“ONROAD TYPE TIRES WAY OVER PRICED” I didn’t know they call them on road?
As far as size it is abuts the size of Terra Crusher, it is bigger then Ek4, or dominator, or Monster Pirate, or Savage or traxxas. The main size different is how height is the truck. Ofna Titan is much higher then any other truck on the market, if you add wheels adapter it will be 1 inch wider then Terra Crusher (wheel adapters helps a lot).
In January Ofna will make new Titan that will be abut 3-4 inches longer and they will have upgrade kit, with that kit The Titan will be the biggest truck on the market.
With all this biggest you can easy put .70 in the titan but then you may (you will) have different problems like blow dif and, engine problems , but it will go whelles like Ek4.

I had Ek4 with .70 and I sold for Titan and am very happy with my new truck.
So far I have, abut 2 gallons of 30% mugen racing fuel on my Titan and runs very good, the only think that I replace is:
1-cvd
2-dif bearings
3-4 bumpers (am not so easy on my trucks)
and at list 5 new bodies, and one body mount.

So you can see for 2 gallons of fuel and jumping, running on parking lot and off road in the park, running in big snow that not so much for replacement or repair.

As far as upgrades I did:

-Aluminum clutch shoes
-servo for brakes
-wheels adapters (from ek4 or any 17 mm adapters from eBay)
-upgrade trany with style gears 51-48 (stock clutch belt – I find out if I put bigger clutch belt I burn shoes even aluminum very fast)
-slipper clutch is off
-Rb one-piece pipe 086 with power adapter.
-Jr MRX3I fm
-battery pack

I will have some more photos to show you how Titan looks compeering to other trucks.
;) ;) ;) :o

[NitroRookie]

So where are the pics you said you had.

[misio]

Not now but i will have some soon.

as for now the only 2 i have.

Were did you guys hear about the new Titan in January? I am thinking of getting one. Let me know please. Thanks.

[misio]

My friend at the hobby shop told me, you could also call ofna. They will not have date but is coming in January.
Do not wait just go and get one, more fun for you.

I called Ofna and they said sometime in January. Also should be the same price too. I hope it comes with a gear guard or something like that.

[drader]

I just saw the Titan in person at Ace... let's just say - the pictures don't do it justice. It looks so well built (and HUGE), quality shocks and drivetrain, just MASSIVE. My buddy will buy one tomarrow. We were both waiting for the BFT, but this one sure is tempting! I also saw the Savage in person, and it didn't do a thing for me. Go Ofna!

[DipInTraffic]

i saw the ofna in person today .........its huge way bigger than the savage .21 .........does anyone have pictures of this truck...with a different shell? how fast does this truck go? what kinda rims tires and stuff fit on the truck this is my 1st hobby car all others were the top of the line radio shack cars lol :D

[hua15]

It looks great at night time.

http://www.rcrock.com/images/truck/titan/indoor/4.jpg

Really nice looking tune pipe, very polished. And I love that yellow exit cap, my car would have been so much cleaner if all other truck came with that.

http://www.rcrock.com/images/truck/titan/indoor/1.jpg

This truck is really huge!

http://www.rcrock.com/images/truck/titan/indoor/3.jpg

Huge adjustable shocks. Don't know how long those bumper will last, once...

http://www.rcrock.com/images/truck/titan/indoor/5.jpg

Amazing engineering, look all those gears. Looks very beefy.

http://www.rcrock.com/images/truck/titan/indoor/6.jpg

Fully adjustable everywhere, looks very strong to me.

http://www.rcrock.com/images/truck/titan/indoor/7.jpg

OFNA really took T-Maxx brace design another level up.

Hua15,

Do the stock JM Rims fit on the Titan axle studs or would I have to get wheel adapters for the JM Rims. When I get my Titan RTR.

[DipInTraffic]

the wheel just fell off my truck ........everything is loose..........what did your car come with ...........i got a ofna yoyo
and no fuel filler bottle .........

[mumblesjj]

Hi, I have my titan for about three weeks it is all brokenin, how can you tell when the truck is in second gear, do you hear the gear shift like the terra crusher,having problems adjusting the shift point.:D

[Mt killer]

It is no secrete that I'm a very convienced EK4 owner! but I do not have a closed mind I can really apprecieate other rigs. I really like the Titan at our local BMX track. But the guy doesn't bash as hard as I would like. So I would really like to see some vids on the Titan. I don't think the OFNA vids do this thing justice. So I ask you Titaniacs to post some vids of your rig getting down!! :cool:

[DipInTraffic]

when i get my truck started and all broken in ill be sure to take some videos..

[beasstofa25o]

hey! i am thinking of getting one of these but i dont know its between this and the ofna 9.5 buggy. i wont be on rough terrain, mostly grass, dirt and sand. im not into the whole "crawling" thing...but i do love to jump. my question is, is the buggy or the titan better at jumping? i know the titan has two shocks per corner, but it is also heavier. its also like 150 bucks more, so whats your opinions guys? i might also do some hill climbing but it wont be like tall grass or climbing over logs or anything..just hauling up steep hills and possibly jumping the peak

[DipInTraffic]

ahhh the titan is too fast for me :D i gotta get used to it ........it crashed in to a parked car today i got it up to a pretty good speed and hit the brakes and it slid into a parked car (ice still on ground) but anyways i got a wobbly wheel broken and a bent shock the shock is fixed now tho :cool:

[picit]

Ofna is saying about a week or two on the chassis conversion, my sales rep at Horizon said they would call my shop and let me know when it comes in and Ill let you guys know!

[drader]

Has anyone tried a different pipe with the .25? I wonder how good the stock Ofna pipe is. I was at Ace today and the owner said Ofna has delayed the release of the "Deluxe" kits by a month, so they can unload the old stock. Sounds like it comes with longer suspension arms, so that should be very interesting, coming from Ofna.

[picit]

They say the price will be pretty good to help out the guys that have already bought them, I have mixed feelings on doing it because the thing is alreday heavy enough but man over two feet long would be kick a**.

[Archerboi]

Have you heard anything on the new truck with the longer chassis? Will it be about the same price. I am hoping to get one in the summer.:D

[picit]

Retail goes up $100 but my dealer pricing went up $50 so you will probably spend an extra $75 on it to the consumer, still cheaper than doing the conversion.

[NitroRookie]

It looks like my going to save my money and get a Titan Deluxe RTR. If it comes with that version available. Because with a 250cc fuel tank that truck could get a estimimate 20-30 mins on a tank of fuel. I know it will get double the run time of the Terra Crusher with it's 150cc fuel tank.

[picit]

Well the big block motor uses way more fuel than a small block so I dont think your run times would be that long but it will be impressive.

[picit]

Well I lost my front drive shaft last nite, the set screw came loose and lost my front wheel drive, doesnt handle too great in 2WD, pretty easy fix though, more locktite!! Ran with my buddies Savage last nite, seems to be way faster off the line but that Savage jumps really well! Going to be some good competition!!

[DipInTraffic]

i usually run my truck in front of my house when everyone is away at work and the street is clear .....today i took it to the basketball court . i wanted to see how fast the truck was so i ran it accross (5 courts sidebyside)the truck was going pretty fast but i didnt hear it shift so i made a u turn and made it come in my direction then it locked up and flipped ....it broke the two back body posts and gashed the heat sink the truck shut off in the process it left me standing there like *** so i got to start it...when i pulled the cord the truck would move with every inch of the cord pulled out ......the truck wont roll backward now either .....help me out plz:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

OK now I have new video of Ofna Titan for you, just please go easy on me that my first video. It has 8MB and you can see my Titan and some others Savage, Tmaxx, Dominator.

I will do better next time.

The drive shafts are tweaking me!! Anyone else having problems with them, Lore Locktite and they still pop loose, got a fix though, the shafts are a little short so I added a little piece of fuel line on each end to take the play out of them so now the cups cant pop off as easy!!:D

i just used alot of locktite 271 the same stuff my dad used when he was building his motor

Hello,

I got a Titan for Christmas and designed some Ti skids for it. About half you have seen this, but we ALL need to come together to get Hardcore to make them at a good price for us.

The will be done next week and I'm organizing a group buy, you all need to contact me if you want the intro price, we need at least ten of us. Price will be UNDER $100 for Two skids maybe as low as $80, but we won't know exact price till they cut the first ones.

That looks nice but I will have to wait tilt, February to see if I will get deluxe kit for my titan.

[metal gear]

Ofna should have made the Titan with a reverse or have an option to buy a reverse module just like the Savage 21. I hate having to run a mile to the car, buggy, or truck to get it unstuck when it can't go forward for some reason. Also, it helps in the truck's drivability and fun factor

[0700]

You would "hate" to have to fix your reverse tranny all the time too. Supermaxx guys are dying to get our tranny in that truck.

[metal gear]

I would prefer to have OFNA engineered the reverse as the Titan itself was being built from ground up. That way, it would be a better fit, durability, effectiveness, reliability, etc.

Hi folks,

I was sad about the weak performace of my new Titan.
In heavy off road my clutch melted away like ice in the sunshine.
So i decided to install a second Force .25 engine from my spare Titan
(Spare parts for Ofna Cars are not available in Germany).
I just mirrored the engine mount holes to the other side, cutted of
the inner engine mounts, moved the RC-Box to the front and remountet
the throttle-servo without the holder plate.
The throttle linkage was a bit tricky but is working fine.
I installed two fuel line splitters which are available for airplanes to
split the fuel and pressure lines.
Surprisingly, starting the two engines one after another is no problem.
I thought one running engine would flood the second engine, but this
is no problem.
Engine synchronization? No problem! Due to the clutch system on RC-Cars
no synchronization is needed. When both clutches during driving are
engaged both engines run at the same rpm. Just make sure that both
engines are idleing the same.
For engines setup and breaking in driving with one engine is no problem.
Just make sure to stop even the second engine if one stalls becouse the
running engine sucks (sorry, is this the right word?) the fuel away from
the carb of the not running engine, so that you can't restart the stalled
engine if you are running the car for more then 30 sec. with only one
engine.

By the way I nickle plated all steel parts to get them stainless and
re-anodized all orange aluminium parts to natural color.

My Titan performs now very well. The two engines sound pretty well.
Now I have got enough low-end punch for wheelies from standstill and
the clutches are lasting much longer.

Bye and have fun

Peter, you did a real nice job with the 2 engines! You must have some real good tank pressure!! That one tank can't go far, tho. How long does it run on a tankful, both engines runnin'?

Nice job!

[Terra Crusher]

peter VERY nice job!! good luck with her and have a blast!!:D :D :cool: ;)

[pie]

Thanks RC Jack,

at full throttle one tank full lasts of about 3 minutes.
Not long, but worth it, I tell you. The car flys over the
dunes like an 1:10 scale buggy with 1.2bhp. A lot of
fun. I dont want to see how the car would behave with
two better engines. The Force .25 are OK but I don't
belive that each one puts out 2.39bhp.
I Think two Hyper .21 8 Port engines should be better.

Bye
Peter

[RC Jack]

Peter, I thought my EK was bad on fuel! I could get about 4-5 minutes on a tank. Ever consider a larger tank?

Looks factory, Peter!

Hi,

How to guide will follow tomorrow. Sorry, today I had more fun
to create a video of my Titan doing wild wheelies. Even
because some in the Ofna-Board thought that the pics are fake.

Download my fresh videos under:
http://www.formatcsdm.de/FORMAT_RCMS/Projects/

DivX 5.03 and normal Mpeg are available.

For sure, Im working on the guide.
Bye
Peter

Titan.

Any problems with the Titan? If so, which ones? Have they been corrected yet?

[0700]

Yes, they were too short, but now they have 3" longer conversion kit.

Early Titans lacked locktite of any kind.

Meesh would you like some Ti Skid plates for that beast ? or a pair of crazy nut cooling heads?

[0700]

Ti Skid plates are hardly optional :D

Crazynut doesn't make a head for that motor.

email 0700@duhengineering.com for ti skid pics

[swimman]

I'm trying to decide between the HPI Savage and Titan. The two trucks are obviously in different leagues and prices but don't know which one I will get. What are the benefits of both if you own them? How easy are they to work on? Performance benefits if any? Thanks...

[vsnakebytev]

Where can I get the Conversion for the Delux Titan??? I have looked all over....

Have they come out with the optional 3 speed?

[fuzzylogic]

Feedback from you guys on this truck....how has your experience with this truck been?

Read that the CVDs break really easily and the differentials go bust pretty quick too. How durable is this truck

I'm considering purchasing one of these babies....is it worth the dough?

[RushMan86]

Hey guys, I just recently aquired a ofna Titan and it should be here in the next week or so. I am very excited to drive this truck. Its not the delux version but I should be upgrading to that soon. The guy i got it from installed a 250cc tank, ported 25, aluminum clutch shoes, and new tires and rims. I am familiar with the monster truck scene as i own 3 savages and previsiously my own creation of a 2wd nitro rush monster. But is there anything i should know about this truck and is there anything i should keep spare in my tool box besides CVAs which i just ordered 2 pairs of.

[mercenario27]

Just add threadlock to all the drive cups. change the diff lube to something thicker, 50,000 or higher.

[RushMan86]

All right I'll lock the diff and watch the CVAs. Anything else. What tires would go good on this thing besided dom tires which he already is including. And what bodys fit can I use savage bodys?

[Information Man]

My Titan still will not shift after adjusting the set screw, very dissapointing since I paid a lot of money for this truck. Does anyone here know if I install the aluminum clutch shoes will that help the tranny to shift, thanks.

[Psycho Chicken]

Does the Deluxe RTR come thread-locked, or will I have to locktight it myself like on my Thunder Quake?

[Freedom]

What run times do you guys get when running your stock Ofna Titan Deluxe? Where is everybody?:(

I don't think different clutch shoes will help.

Have you tried proping it off the ground and running the throttle up to see if it shifts then?

I don't have a Titan (yet ;)) so I'm not sure on what type of two speed it uses, but you might want to pull it out and look at it. Cam and lever two speeds normally have another screw to fasten it to the shaft, one to adjust and the other to secure it. Clutch type is a little different.

I've never seen any "RTR" Nitro that doesn't need thread locking.

[Jasio18]

I'm looking to buy a Titan. I want to buy the RTR version and sell engine and electronics. What are some of the lowest prices that you have seen???
If its a 80% with engine, its fine too.

They have a titan twin and super conversions coming out in nitro house for normal titans. I would like to put 2 RB S7WII engines in there....overkill????? nahhh :D

[hctechno]
