not all of them are...himoto has some totally diff breed...if you wanting to hit the track go with a 1/8th..the price of the buggy/truggy and the parts price isnt to far off the 1/10th and you will prolly get a much more durable rc....but if ya do go with the 1/10th get the single spd...or 3 diff.....dont think you will like 2spd on a track..and if u diff wanna go track racing the rxb-1 and the rxt-1 himotos are ready to rock...I have 2 hurricanes and like them alot but if you wanna race on a ROAR rule track you will need to replace the cane's engine or buy a rtm and put a .21 on it
