new 1/16th scale nitro.... - 01-22-2006, 09:50 PM

Have you guys seen this thing yet?


It looks and sounds cool.. just not as cheap as I would like. The 'normal' version is about $280
and the Special edition one is like $370 (all hopped up). I just posted the info on my front news page.

It's hard to tell if it would be fun or not. Any thoughts? Would anyone here actually consider buying one?

I think it's a sweet little car but I'm not into minis enough to spend $380 on one. Although it's not a bad price for a car that's sooo tricked out!

Hmm.. - 01-23-2006, 05:57 PM

Well, I wouldn't go runnin 30% in it that's for sure =)

It would probably last about as long as any other motor. And I bet it's a lot cheaper to replace!

is it a .12? Im sure witht he car being as small as it is and so light, the motor would last longer (less stress) throw a set of half 8 crime fighters on there and we got a whole new class to race!

yeah it's smaller than a .12, although I'm not sure of it's exact size. I bet we could squeeze a .12 in !!!

That little thing is awesome!! I do belive the last time someone posted up info about one, it had a .05 or .08 in it. Seems like it would be a lot of fun!


Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
