For the most part, I completely agree with you. A clean, no aluminum, light RC18 is the way to go. I also agree that DrivenProductions products are top-notch, and the gear cover is a great product that is pretty much required.
However, I would say to stick with the stock metal-shielded bearings. Metal-shielded bearings have less resistance than rubber-sealed ones, and the stock ones are very nice if lubed properly.
Overall, good writeup! Alfred, if you could sticky this so that all the people starting off with the RC18 can go the right way the first time!
