Reviews

Xtreme RC Cars Magazine - April 2006

"Any kit that comes out of the XRAY factory is sure to be of high quality and packed with features, and that is exactly the case with the M18T."

"The M18T shares very few similarities with XRAY's first micro car, the M18. This time around XRAY designers went all out and packed the M18T full of cool features. Things such as full ball bearings, 6-cell stick pack compatibility, and a single bellcrank steering system are all standard on the M18T."

"As usual, XRAY's instructions are some of the best, bar none! These full color 3D-rendered instructions are easy to follow with clear and detailed images. As I was building the kit, I didn't find any errors or inconsistencies throughout the entire manual. Other manufacturers should take note: these are what instructions should be like."

"As usual, XRAY has put out yet another quality product. The parts are well made, everything fits together as it should and it looks cool. In other words, this little race truck is ready to go."

Radio Race Car Magazine - April 2006

"The 1/18th class is breeding all sorts of contenders, but some stand out simply because of their quality and heritage. The M18 touring cars were robust and frighteningly fast, so there's no reason to expect the truck version to be any less a superb racing machine."

"...a real bargin."

"Beautiful suspension action. Quality of moulded components. Excellent electronics package included. Super soft tyres grip brilliantly."

Radio Control Car Action Magazine - March 2006

"XRAY is well known for their finely crafted and innovative RC models, and they proved they could retain the same high quality and innovation in a scaled-down machine when they introduced the M18 touring car. The M18 set the standard in mini on-road arena, and now XRAY is ready to repeat that performance for the mini off-road scene with the new M18T shaft-driven, 4WD stadium racing truck."

"The M18T has one of the smoothest drivetrains I've built. A long aluminum propeller shaft links the front and rear ball differentials and provides full-time 4WD."

"High-quality materials. Smooth oil-filled shocks. Excellent racing rubber. Ball diffs. Swaybars included."

"XRAY has done a fine job of designing the M18T. It is one of the best-handling mini racing trucks I've driven, and it has proven to be reliable. The swaybars, oil-filled shocks and adjustable ball diffs are very nice standard features, and the class-leading suspension travel makes the M18T a champion on rough terrain... I really like this truck and plan to race it until the wheels come off..."

RC Car Racer - February 2006

"Quality of the moulded parts is superb and the fit is to the usual expected XRAY standard - very good indeed."

"The M18T offers great performance straight out of the box."

"Trying the M18T on a variety fo surfaces both indoors and out showed its performance to be well up there with the competition. Outside, it's softly sprung suspension absorbed the bumps well and gave very balanced handling."

"So in conclusion an excellent addition to the micro truck craze from Team XRAY. Engineering and fit is first class with performance to match."
