Wow, I just saw that. Wonder if it has a .12 in it or what? Must be a special size pipe cuz it looks small. Sure would like to see under the body!!
Wonder how it handles?
Can't wait for more details!!

I read about this "surprise" elsewhere. I was hoping it would be an offroad vehicle. Oh well...

I love how they say THEY are the first to have a 1/18th nitro on-road, HPI had one a few years ago but nice try.
Anyways, its still badass and a 1/18 ST or MT would be the ___

I don't remember the name but HPI had a micro nitro onroad car, search for it and you'll find it. It may have been like 1/12th scale though and if so props to Xray for having the first '1/18 nitro onroad'. Whatever it was, it was discontinued a few years ago.

Ah, ok...You were talking about the Nitro Mini. They were alot larger than this (though they were "mini" compared to 10th scale) Yes, i agree, props to Xray!

wow can these things even run outside. it just doesnt seem like it will work. it will be the same thing as putting a mamba in it.if u can find the terrian it would be a cool. imagine watching these things hit 30+ with a big puff of smoke behind it and the sweet noise of a nitro engine. none of that electric whinning stuff. i hope that these little engines can make some noise

The small .12 block engines on a 1/18 is not convincing for me... unless it fits with a .049 engine. Tires are going burn down so quick with some 1+hp engines. I would like to see a 1/12 Nitro Mini like HPI RS4 Nitro Mini instead. This Xray is likely to be called a "Nitro Ultra Mini"... and it requires an ultra mini starter box!

The 1/18 tire surface area just cannot handle the power from a 1+hp engine. Do you think a set of 1/10 touring car tires can hold up on a Monster Truck chassis?

I know Mr. Scumacher . It was just a joke relating to loving tire ripping, chassis twisting, grossly excessive power
