1/16 and 1/18 scale nitro

[\Doc\]

Hey guys,

Looking at:

1) Team X-Ray NT18MT
2) Trinity NEXT

Anyone own one or know someone who does? The X-Ray is my first choice as
it's a true 18th scale MT, but parts availability here in the US seems to be
sparce. The NEXT is also neat looking but I'd prefer a MT.

I've looked at what CEN has to offer (M16 IIRC?) in this category (PUKE!)
and the Schumacher Rascal would be in my garage if it wasn't 2WD.

Interested in your thoughts and opinions.

Obviously, don't buy the Cen :-)

I personally like the setup for the Xray, but then again Xray could
poop something and I would still buy it.

I just think they make great stuff.


That's just my two cents.

You could check out the Team Losi...wait never mind I think I have had
this dicussion with you about AE and Losi.

Go Xray.

Thanks Rob! How does it handle rougher terrain (ruts in track, mogul
sections, etc.) being as small as it is? Does it plow through grass ok?

Wow that Sir, is a really sweet looking Track. Could never really see
one in Wisconsin. Too much snow, or maybe if you build it they will
come.

Thanks for the great site. I just made me sad, in Wisconsin we are
getting 1 foot of snow. Still have to wait for it to melt before I
will be out racing.

Yeah i am in central FL so we race all year round. As far as driving a
N.E.X.T. on clay or the street it handles great but won't go on grass it
sits to low. Jumps good too. I also owen a losi mini LST<electric>. It
goes on the grass fine sits higher. Rob
