The first 1/18 scale buggy with 1/8 scale racing features!

The Vendetta offers the best of both worlds: the ease and completeness of a ready-to-run combined with the equipment of a race-ready competitor.

Aluminum performance parts inspired by 1/8 scale racing. Track-tunable oil-filled shocks. Adjustable wheelbase. A fully adjustable suspension. A complete set of ball bearings. It’s fully optioned, and what’s more - it’s totally ready-to-run. The body’s painted. The chassis is assembled. And there’s nothing left to buy. Motor, ESC, battery and charger, radio and “AA” batteries - the Vendetta has it all, and it’s all good to go now.

Team Associated came out with the RC18B, its basiclly a 18T, with a buggy body, and 1/8 scale buggy wheels, looks neat.

Sry to be a little off topic, but why doesn't AE make a 4wd 1/10th scale buggy???

No isn't that made by J-Concepts??? I mean a 4wd buggy made SPECIFICALLY by AE, not another company or a conversion.

I emailed them awhile back, and the response I got was something like, don't make one, and don't ever plan on it....
so the bj4 is about as close as you'll get

Sorry, I have no information on this. My contact within GP is no longer in that position and a replacement has not been assigned yet.
