Well I broke down today, and replaced my stolen XRAY M18. It is a great 1/18 touring car, and tons of hop-ups. And Xray does not hold back on quality. This is a well built car, and the same quality as in any other Xray product. The only thing that I don;t like is has bevel gear diffs instead of ball diffs, but you can buy them after market.

Yeah, I thinking about the NM18, but we will see. But I had to replace my stolen M18. I mean my old M18 was loaded. IT had the blue graphite chassis, blue aluminum motor mount, front one way diff, rear ball diff, GP 7.2V1200 niMH, Mamba Compition X package(8000kv), aluminum spur(needed it with the mamba), and chrome Mirco RS4 rims and tires. The car was awesome, and someone stole it. So hopefully I will be able to upgrade my new M18 to that status again, but maybe a 5400/6800 mamba though so I can actually race it.

I was just surfing Xray's site and forum and it seems the NT18 won't be out until after the holidays. Probably a good thing. Where do you race the 1:18?

right now I just practice at Hobbytown in st.charles, they have a little track in the back, and I have run my Mini LST and 18T there, but no real races, I have been trying to find a 1/18 race to race in that why I'm trying to start a 1/18th racing club so if I can get enough people, places like Hobbytown might let us run a race there (i was told that they have alot of track so they can make a decent track).

LH is throwing around the idea of having a micro on-road track indoors when there isnt a big race going on. Nothing is 100%, its an idea at this point. If they end up doing it, I'll be picking up an X-ray mini too.
The quality of X-ray products is got me a customer for a long time !!!!

Leisure Hours Raceway did confirm they purchased some carpet to run a small indoor mini track.
Most people who were racing 1/18th cars at Tinley on Weds. night in the past will probably be running the M18s and HPI Mini's up there.

drift with a RC18 then.......Then you could jump it when you feel like it. I don't think jumping an on-road would work out the best although I have seen it done more than a few times.
