Default which well built 18th / 16th?

had a very brief fling with a blaze a while back but it felt too much like a toy and not a proper racer. Is there anything out there that feels as good as a scaled down 1/10th if you know what i mean Would like another mini buggy to run but only if it feels right.

90% of the micro National field are running the LRP Shark Pro:

Save your cash and go for the Shark ST pro .....

The best micro on the market for sure, and the quality is as good as any 10th IMO .....

they feel a little more chunky than the smaller Blaze, definately a worthy race car ... and a lot of fun to drive too

Check this out ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b4cVkNBCJU

Shark 18 factory is the best 18th scale.

Build quality and handling are in a different league to the rc18.

You can get a shark factory for £170 delivered

Rc18 factory £80 + exotek chassis $100(about £63)

Not alot of difference in price but then you are going to need to spend alot more money on the rc18 to get it to handle close to the shark.

The standard blaze and factory shark share alot of the same parts but there are a few very important differences.

The shark is wider and already has all the components fitted to make it a race winner.

Back to the rc18 i've had one for over a year now and spent alot of time messing with it trying to get it to handle and alot of £'s. I've recently bought a shark that blows my years worth of messing with the rc18 out of the water it literaly smokes my rc18 and i've not even started to play with the setup.

Maybe I would give a try to Traxxas Erevo and Slash in 1:16 size. They both looks great and solid.
