If I didn't live in a condo I would. LOL I will break it in tomorrow. I have one other in at the store. We will be selling them for $270.00 RTR. We will also be stocking all the hop-up's. I have the 2 speed's on order.

[mOOsE]

do you guys carry parts for them?

[FL Speed Freaks]

We will have all the parts & hop-up's for them in stock.

How does yours compare to these? :::

I am pretty sure they are identical but I don't own both. Boex are pretty much the same and both are based off the ol' halfeight

[acsubie]

some parts are interchangeable with the H8..so far i have found out the CVDs and hinge mounts are NOT...the nitro version uses a wider stance wheel and the axles need a few xtra threads to be able to properly tighten down the wheel, so the H8 CVDs are no dice

I would say its the same. Mine is from a US dist. so I know I can get parts fast.

Will the ST diffs fit?

[acsubie]

Will the ST diffs fit?

im almost 100% sure they would, as the gear boxes are the same as the kyosho...the included diffs are a bit beefier than the kyosho', but those ST diffs would be sweet inside the nitro for optimal tuning since the nitro doesnt use a slipper

[mOOsE]

so, how is the nitro half8 working out guys. Would love to hear a small review, or a even a big one if you have time. Cmon guys, shower us with pics and progress reports on the new machine ;)

It's my understanding that the ACME NB18 and IRC Vulcan are both manufactuered by the same company though the IRC Vulcan SE is only available from IRC. The NB18 is ARTR while the Vulcan and Vulcan SE are RTR. I was further informed that a few people selling the NB16 on ebay for very cheap prices are no longer ACME dealers as a result of it. I was further informed that the two speed won't be available for two weeks and the option engine is about 90 days out.

I'm also still breaking in the Toki engine; however, one of the first things I did was replace the stock fuel line. The pipe will probably be next.

[mOOsE]

I was going to buy one until I saw the price is near 300 for an RTR. I would be fine with an ARTR but 250+ for a micro is too steap, even for gas. Looks like a cool little buggy though, especially with the 2spd tranny opt.
