Default are they really this fast?

i'm trying to decide what to buy. been looking at 1/18 and mini-z just to mess around with on the office floor when i'm bored. i've pretty-much ruled out 1/18 cars because they look too fast to run indoors, but i may have to think twice about a mini-z as well if they're actually this fast.

a stock mini z is not that fast but you put a few hop ups in them and they move......mini z $130 FET stack $25 Motor $25 ball diff $40 hi discharge aaa cells $15 and some suspension hopups.....For about $250 it will be that fast......

I have 2 new m0-15 cars....porsches Im not an expert but if you want to get some real good info go to www.mini-zracer.com and checkout there forums. The F1 is an awesome mini z tons of hop ups....the newest F1s have the updated FETs (more powerful)and a hop up motor already in the rtr kit. They go for about $160. Good luck and you will enjoy a mini z.......

FTM, 1/18 are not to big to run indoor. My LHS runs both stock sedans, mod sedans (includeing brushless) and Mini Trucks inside on our carpet track and it's loads of fun.
