are you joking they are not that small
its honestly say about half the size
I have a TC3 and Rc18T both by AE and have very simmilar chassis and its about half
also if I put a mamba 8000 and 3 cell lipo The 1/10 guys wouldent be able to catch me
I have seen vids of 1/18 scale cars dominating a 1/10th nitro race because it handled better and he could hold more speed throughout the track its all about consistancey
I wish I bought the FT but it wasnt out when I bought mine, I now have to buy all the hopups and and ended up ditching the stock stuff anyways,(when I go brushless I will loose the ESC)

I am planning to get the all aluminum kit also which makes from the suspention down all aluminum and then pick up a CF chassis
Its should be fast and strong
