Default 18ss VS Landmax drag race!!!

It happened yesterday. The battle was between my HPI RS4 18ss and a Kyosho 1/8 Landmax with GS .21 - R engine and novarossi tuned pipe. I thought i would be elliminated till I saw it happening: my 18ss started a bit faster, it kept 1 meter distance from the landmax till the 2nd gear arrived ... then the small 1/10 FLEW destroying the landmax! I didnt expect it to happen cause it was the first time i run my car next to a 1/8 car. I'm looking for your comments.

Hey man...i own an evolva...:P I bought it cause evolva and serpents are the most rappid rc's on the planet. I just killed a landmax with a 18ss that's all and nothing more. Everything happened at top speed of 55mph max not 200 :P The reason that made me so excited is that i bought 18ss cause neither my evolva or my v one RRR can play at parking lots cause it's a pitty to destroy them. So i bought 18ss just for fun and it turned out to be one of the most powerful and well behaving stock cars i've ever driven. I even find it better than the kyosho FW Don't you agree my friend? Here's the pic of the killer...and of the victim:P (ferrari 575GTC-> 18ss / Sub.Impreza-> Landmax / Vaxhuall Astra-> kyosho alpha 2)

No my friend they are all nitro powered. But a convenient racing type electric car with brushless motor could kill both landmax and 18ss in a glimpse...
