I have the vendetta tc and it is good....but it is not on the same level as the m18....Mine will become my driveway/parking lot racer....while my m18 will be for the carpet. This spring Duratrax will be releasing a CF chassis for the Vendetta TC and it will take the car to the next level...but it will be costly compared to a m18 pro kit....about $150 more than the m18 pro....with comparable components...ball diffs, cf chassis etc...

+1 on the M18 for really fast racing if your club has the class. I have both conversions, the Penguin and the Exotek and my vote goes with the Exotek. Mile's stuff is the BOMB!

maybe, but way too early to make any predictions

CoG will be so close, since the designs are roughly the same, it's hardly worth mentioning

The scalpel is a great little pancar if you are a finesse driver. The car breaks easy (you can bullet proof it) If you want a pancar go with the BRP....
It is simple, fast, durable and guys kicked butt with them at the onroad mini nats....
