[Dynamite Arrows]

:D It's official, the Xray M18 has found it's way into public hands in Italy. So hopefully it won't be too long finding it's way to our shores??!!

Well sounds like a good christmas prezzy to me :D. What price will they be about and can you get different models like the 1/10th scale cars or is it just one standard chassis and wheels.

[Dynamite Arrows]

£99.95 I hope! as this was the price quoted previously. Standard HPI Micro wheels and tyres will fit. The car should have a Ferrari 360 Modena shell in the kit. The wheelbase of 150mm means any 150 wheelbase Micro RS4 shell should fit without any problem, BMW M3, Skyline, Merc CLK etc.

[dominic evola]

Well I think that is reasonably priced, maybe a bit expensive but hoping for good things.

Thanks Pete

;) If appearences are anything to go on, this thing will leave the Micro RS4's for dust. It looks stunning, just got to shoehorn the radio in. It weighs about the same as the HPI, hopefully the kit tyres will grip on carpet.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

hopefully there will be enough of these to run a heat or two at the carpet wars at the next meeting

and yes they are £99.95 for the cars
and the electric pack at £79.99
all you need is then a receiver and a tranny and charger
if any one is looking to get one my local model shop has got some they are in croydon south london with the name S.-.-.-. R-----

Does anyone know which model clubs actually race these things :D?

[Dynamite Arrows]

:)We're running them at Stocksbridge Radio Car Club, North of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Other clubs which run HPI Micros which will (presumably) allow the M18 are : Coastal Model Car Racing Club, Taunton Mini Stox Club, Warfield Model Car Club and in Ireland Ulster Model Car club. I understand Wrexham have started running Micro's and there are other clubs too.

[dominic evola]

Thanks very much might be down sometime.

[lewist]

we are going to start running the 1/18th scale stuff (hpi + xray) on monday nights in the new year at High Wycombe Mini Stox Club.

should be interesting because we are racing them on a pritty large (well compared to these didy things) circuit.
