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.
