How much is one of these? Did you compare it against the 18B and the Half8?
169.00 same as a 18b, but the vendetta has allum parts

oh and if you break parts, they will send a new ne for a year.


DuraTrax is so confident in the quality and durability of Stress-Tech plastic parts that we’ll replace any Stress-Tech part that breaks during the first 12 months you own your Vendetta. Just send the broken part to DuraTrax and we will send you a FREE replacement
I like to call those the "Kill you with Kindness" warranty. Sure it's free but if it's always breaking and you're always sending and waiting for parts, what good is it. Maybe Duratrax is good about strong parts, never owned one yet.

Did you consider the Kyosho?
no i didnt i guess.... jessie wolkenhiem bought this car, and said it was the deal. im not planning to get all competitive with it... just some fun on the side.

how much are the K cars? i just assumed they were high lol, that and owning a K car, is well, not in my vocab. Wink
I think half8's go around $189. Are you anti-K (xray only right)?
looks like the .5-8 is 30 bux cheaper, but dont come with oil shocks...
either way im excited, i cant to play err i mean to see the look on the kids faces!
Cool, mini's are neat. Just spent 40 mins running the Mini T testing batteries.
Slim, you know that they race those things at River Valley Raceway tonight? Racing starts at 7pm. See you and the kids there?
awesome! but it wont be here till next week plus i guess mama will make me wrap it or somthing stupid.... lol
Nice, I've heard of the vendetta but I had no idea it was made by Duratrash...I mean trax
The Vendetta, is a good 1/18th buggy, compared to the Kyosho Half8. The Half * electronics are terrible and it is tremendously slow. I hate to bad mouth Kyosho because I love the full size inferno, but the mini version is really not built that well. A couple a friends of mine have these and they have alot of trouble with them.
I was thinking about a Vendetta when I was looking for something to replace my Mini-t. They had one at HTSC that I looked at. Only problem is the duratrax name in there. I also heard you can get them in Kit from overseas on ebay rebadged as the Anderson MB-4 (or mabey the duratrax is a rebadged MB4? dunno).

As for the Kyosho Half 8 well when it comes to Kyosho anything they make that is RTR is grabage. Complete junk and should be avoided like Bird flu.
john you gotting rid of your mini-t? i know you already got a new 1/18th but. . . ? if you sell the mini-t call me!!!
lol.. I'll let ya know tommy if I plan to sell it. It will most likley be after the holidays if I do.
