So, like the subject says... How fast is the Xray M18? Is it quick enough in a good driver's hands to beat an equally skilled BRP Pro or SC!8 driver?

Since the stock motor wouldn't be any competition for the BRPs, I'm presuming we would be talking about Mabuchi 370 sized motors such as the Wattage 370, Graupner Speed 300 6V, Team Orion Big Block, Peak Chubby, etc...

Color me curious...

Anyone seen them race Micros? I hear they put a pretty good whipping on the modified Micros, even the Exo2 chassis equipped cars.
The Xray is hands down, FAR superior to the the HPI Micro. (Even if the stock M18 chassis is fairly flexible...)

Hands down the Xray kills the micro out of the box. Even a
hopped up micro can't keep up. The drive train has no drag,
and the gear diffs rock. Yes there are needed upgrades to make
the car great. Most people love upgrades because that gives
them something to do.

Now i don't know if it will keep up with the brp car but it's
4WD so it doesn't matter. Two different classes.
