It’s obviously based on the new belt drive chassis that all of the recent Associated 1/18s have been built on. As is usual with the RC18s it’s coming with everything you need except the AA batteries [...]

From: DuraTrax Direct Link: DuraTrax Vendetta So I finally got my hands on the DuraTrax Vendetta. Out of the box, it’s a pretty cool little buggy. DuraTrax always has a good presentation, and the Vendetta carries on their tradition. Something else DuraTrax does good are their manuals. Again the Vendetta manual was no exception. It’s very well laid out, there is lots [...]
