Mcallister RC18T sprint car body
Mcallister Racing has a new RC18T sprint car body.
I only run dirt oval with my rc18t , so this a blessing.

I don't have one yet.... but I will!!!!
Looks like you have to buy the 6" wing kit and cut it down to fit to scale.

The picture is quite small, are the side pipes decals?

nope, they are molded. You can visit mcallisterracing.com and take a look at "hot new bodies" and "dirt oval bodies" for more pictures.

Thank you very much for that site! After looking around, I found the body that I've been looking for for a long time to rebuild my sprinter.
Thanks!!!

a few guys where I race my rc18t on the dirt oval have that body, but it doesn't handle as well as the late model wedge with a 6" tall flat piece of lexan glued to the side of it
definately looks cool, but I dont think I'll get one, I like how the wedge body covers the wheels, I like not breaking things

Here are me and my buddies sprint cars. Mine is the orange one up front. We all race with a mamba 6800kv and 6 cells. These things are a blast on our banked dirt oval.

Once you find the right set up they are a blast. The car really turns in hard coming into a corner, you gotta ease up/feather the throttle and keep your drift going until you transition back on the straight away. Then you can put the hammer down and be ready for the next turn. This body is more squirely than the parma dirt EDM modified body.

Cool man, thanks for the post, it seems awesome to be driving that on the oval track.....one more question, do you have to go one way clockwise on the track or can you go counterclockwise on the track.
