DuraTrax has come out with the Vendetta 4WD buggy. It looks pretty cool, much like the Ofna Mini Inferno. More info in our RC News forum at http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=123586

There is a video link in case you want to see it running.

The thing out steers, out jumps and down right smokes the RC18T. But the knuckles & drive shafts are weak.

I just got a vendetta the weak point to it is the steering links. With a little mod the turn buckles off a 18t works fine. the batteries have to be in stick pack form other than that it is pretty nice buggy out of the box.

Yes that seems to be the big new trend in little RC all the battery confg. are different. I was going to race the Vendetta but could not get my RC18T batts in it.

if they are both out of the box RTR what I have seen the vendetta runs and handles the best. But it is like anything a little tunning one is no better than the other.

Bring that Vendetta up this summer if You guys plan on running the BRP races at Da Track. We should have enough for a class.
