Will there ever be a 1/18th nitro r/c?

[InTheZoneAC]

I think those little 1/18th electric trucks are nice, but it's electric. I have hated that stuff since I got into nitro r/c 10 years ago.

So, do you guys think there'll ever be a 1/18th scale nitro stadium truck?

Well, considering that the onroad XRay M18 was just recently made into a nitro, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see it in trucks(& I'd be surprised if XRay was NOT the first to do it, since the M18 & the M18T are so similar).... :cool:

There's an ad for Xray's nitro mini stadium truck in the latest RCCA, page 155. It's called the NT18T.

I just bought the Xray NT18T 4wd nitro stadium truck. Check out a few pics before the build in my thread!!! They also have an on road nitro car.

Xray also has the NT18T on their website too :)

There are also a few 1/16th scale nitro buggies out their too.

IRC has one http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=209262

and so does Kyosho http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=219188&highlight=Kyosho+Nitro+Mini+Inferno

Even though they wouldn't be 1/18 (they'd be 1/16th instead) it shouldn't be long until we start to see stadium truck versions of the nitro 1/16th buggies. Kyosho already has a ST version of the electric half eight, I'm sure a mini nitro ST is in the works ;)

See? I told 'ya... ;)

Himoto, Red CAt racing and Team VTX are coming out with a 1/16 scale rc truck. I think they are all the same truck though with some minor variations between the distributors.

Team VTX also has a truggy version of there 1/16 scale nitro buggy coming out.

It isn't really that fast. A brushless 3S LiPo powered Mini-T or RC18T is good for 50+ MPH, though at this point steering becomes tricky :).

yeah 35 is nothing compared to what brushless is capable of, and yeah im sure its hard to control a tiny rc car movin at 50 lol that has to be scary lol

A couple of guys that I race/bash with both got the 1/18 xray nitro stadium truck. It's a solid and very well built truck and quick too.

Trinityy is also coming out with a 1/16 scale nitro MT
