I got mine fixed yesterday (the broken inner rim) and now it won't stop raining!!! I want to finish my breakin...

I did get the body painted though. I just did a quick rattle can job because I really dont like the stock body. You have to make it look like swiss cheese to get it to fit. I am going to order a few HPI 150mm bodies to try out.

theboom - as far as top speed XRay claims 50+ KM/H so that is what around 40ish? I believe it too. I have not finished break in and mine feels really fast at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. Once I am done with break in I will strap on the GPS and do some speed test. Should be Sunday or Monday...

Ok no problem. I will figure a way to set up the cam out side and get some vids .. I dont have a tri pod but I can set it up on something. You just may have to point me in the direction of some where to host the video.

Irish ... I was looking at your web site yesterday... I may be in contact with you soon for some decals and such. Good site. I bet your business does well. Do you have a big shop? I am up in Chicago 3 to 4 times a year for family visits and such. So I guess we are going to have to race on my next trip. Should I start the trash talking now???

Pretty cool little car! According to an article I read, Xray claims about 31mph top speed. I watched the video Xray has posted on their website, and this little bugger really screams...

http://www.teamxray.com/nt18/index_high.htm

I saw these at the WRAM show yesterday... almost got one, but then I had to bring myself back to reality... I like the 1/18th cars/trucks for their indoor driveabilty, so I'd be better off getting an M18 with a CC Mamba & LiPo setup, or upgrading my Micro RS4 with such a setup. These are very cool little cars, though... I might talk myself into one yet! One guy at the show had the micro starter box too.

you can also change gearing and do motro work to get it faster as well

Jeff,

Dont waste your money or time on HPI boidies. There are only 3 that have the possibility to fit:
BMW - I bought it - WAY too narrow.
Corvette - I have it on my NT18 now - roofline too low - gotta cut a lot of holes
Vioer - Not tried it yet - but will likely fit like the corvette.

Actually of the 3 bodies I have tried so far - the stock body fits the best - the roofline is about the same as the corvette. But stock is just a little wider.

Haven't tried the proline Mazda - but with its high roofline - cooling head will likely fit without cutting. Just not sure of its width.

Can tell you the Sierra truck bodies are way too narrow.
