Well ;) if you mean my 8ight.... no you can't keep up with any 1/18 vehicle on a track. Speed isn't the only thing... size matters too. :) While the 18T is getting kicked all over by bumps and ruts, my 8ight will be ripping straight through it.

And just in case it matters.... the video doesn't show the true speed potential of this buggy. It was geared for a lower top end and I was trying to drive it very "vanilla" smooth... it wasn't hooked up very well and it was the first time on that track for me. I ran it a little harder and geared higher recently and it was a different animal.

On a parking lot or carpet... ( and maybe a super smooth clay track) yeah a BL 1/18 could do some damage.
