I know that this is a predominately electric forum, but you need to see thislink. Watch the teaser at the top

wow! i want one.

crazyjr · 10.03.2005, 10:17 PM

Yeah, i can see that.:p

Whoa.....that's something new. Looks real slick, but the way the air filter sticks out kills the body lines.....any other options for that?

Cool! Just what I was looking for: a louder, slower, higher maintenance M18 that I can't run indoors! :L: :p

crazyjr · 10.04.2005, 11:08 PM

I figured you would say that Bat.:L: :D

crazyjr · 11.12.2005, 05:07 PM

If you click on the teaser it has a video to watch

its a dumb idea in general. Furthermore! the engine is sooo tiny, it will be a PAIN to TUNE!! its hard enough tuning a .12, try to tune an engine 1/3rd the size!!

crazyjr · 11.13.2005, 04:37 PM

To each his own, i guess. I like it, but i don't have anywhere to run it so if i got one it would probably be a shelf queen

I actually think it's a very cool car and a great idea. The novelty alone will make it sell like hotcakes.
Who knows - maybe it'll be like the Mini-T was and spawn a whole new class of 1/18th nitro vehicles.

Myself, I'll never ( shouldn't say never ) be buying a micro-scale nitro vehicle, but that doesn't mean it sucks :)

This is how I see it..

One more thing to convert! (even though it already has an electric version, lol)

The whole idea of a mini is to be able to drive inside I think, and this kind of limits you to outdoors only.

I'd buy one. I rarely drive my RC18t inside. It was only a matter of time before sombody did this. Batfish is right, the novelty alone will sell the hell out of this thing. Now if I could just figure out how to get the .28 from my Savage into that thing........

that would break gears at an idle

the motor woudl weigh more then the car

...and you would only have room for a 25cc gas tank, which will give you 2 minutes of run time :P
