Reviews

RC Driver - September 2006

"Race truck performance. Double shocks improve handling. Most M18 option parts fit the MT."

"XRAY's M18 1/18 vehicles have proven the company's no-compromise racing design a force to be reckoned with on the track. The M18MT takes it one step further by offering race truck designs with enough ground clearance to go where few micros have gone before. More than just a big tire version of the race truck, the MT was improved in all the necessary areas to accommodate the larger wheels and extra weights. If you're looking for a micro that you can take to the track or use to terrorize the sandbox, then there's no reason there shouldn't be an MT in your garage."

RC Car - June 2006

"XRAY quality in micro-sized vehicle, plenty of suspension, tuning adjustments, smooth drivetrain."

"Nothing like a micro monster truck with premium quality to play around with in your room, outside, or at the track. The M18MT should cure all boredness.

"The M18MT has a boatload of features; considering its size and what it is meant to do, have fun! The XRAY monster truck has speed, climbing power, tuning adjustments, and even front and rear ball diffs; you cannot ask for much more. And on top of all that, it is stamped with the luxurious XRAY badge."

Max Bashing - January/February 2007

"The larger wheels give it a better ground clearance and the eight shock absorbers soak up the forces as it's thrown around a course environment and endures some jumps."

"This mini truck has surpassed my wildest dreams... well maybe not my wildest ones as they don't even include an RC, but it is very good."

"Inner strength isn't lacking either as I found out when it struck a large tree root at pace, but it bounced off with no damage."

"I can honestly see me getting a lot of run time out of this and it will be my weapon of choice in mini truck racing for the foreseeable future."
