Reviews

RC Driver - October 2006

"Reliable engine. Fits right in a pit box. Fast right out of the box."

"This tiny little mite of an engine fired up every time without hesitation and provided enough speed to keep the 'go-fast' guys happy. It's one of the best performing engines of the micro nitros we've seen."

"Some may see the nitro micro scene as simply a novelty that will eventually wear off. I suppose that is always a possibility with any hot, new item, but as long as companies with reputations for producing high-quality products - like Xray - keep putting out vehicles like the NT18T, then these little guys have a chance at long term survival."

RC Car Action - October 2006

"Powerful, reliable engine. Hardened-steel spur gear & clutch bell. Super-smooth drivetrain. Excellent disc-brake system. Fast and easy to drive."

"The XRAY 0.8cc (0.05ci) engine might be tiny, but it's loaded with features found on larger racing mills."

"The NT18T's drivetrain is extremely smooth and highly efficient."

"The NT18T is fast and exciting to drive, and it handles superbly for a vehicle that's less than 9 inches long. The sound of the tiny engine and the smell of nitro really get your blood flowing, and the engine runs reliably from one tank to the next.""

Racing Lines - August 2006

"When XRAY releases new products, they really do what they are intended to do so I shouldn't have been surprised at how well the NT18T worked on a proper off road track."

"Overall, the NT18T is the first of a new era of RC and sets a high standard for any other company to match. For fun, or even for racing, the NT18T is a great little package."

"The parts quality and fit is as good as it gets but then, it is what you expect of XRAY. The drive line appears next to bullet proof and spins effortlessly and is silky smooth."
