Ok are you joking? Everyone knows that Nikko is better than traxxas! Didnt you watch the nikko vs. Traxxas shootout hosted by radio shack!? The drive of the nikko car was blindfolded and was only guided by someone telling him when to turn and brake. He also was only allowed to drive in reverse. He still beat the traxxas top of the line truck. Read it in rc car action july 2005 issue!
