Another one!

Got myself another RC18T
It's been slightly used and I bought it as a rolling chassis minus electronics.
Seeing as I have a ton of spares this baby should be running soon enough.
I am not going the Brushless route with this one... it will be my off-road basher powered the old fashioned way with a trusty 300 motor

Photos to follow soon

Instead of putting a Speed 300 in there why dont you get the Reedy Mini Max which is a 280 mod motor, im currently using this motor now and i like it....on the straights it really takes off. Another motor to look out for is the LRP Fusion motor which is a 370 rebuildable motor....going to be hottttttt indeed, cant wait to get one.

Jae,

No ways, the first RC18T's standard transmission wore out using a 5400 Mamba, so a 480 Motor will kill it.

This new RC18T will be limited to 300/370 sized motors so I can have some serious off road fun with it...

I have my Brushless RC18T with the CF chassis and billet parts for road running

Update

w00t!

Here they are..
The "road runner" has the ProLine 1:10th scale touring car wheels/tires on, the HSE CF chassis, MIP CVDs, T Bone bumper and Mamba Brushless.
I am going to install all the FT Billet parts I bought to the road version as well as the stainless steel outdrives

The second one in the photo is the rolling chassis. I will fit the following to this:

LRP Quantum Micro Reverse ESC / 40MHz FM RX
BB300/Wattage 370 motor
HS81MG Servo
FT Threaded shocks (I have a brand new unused set)
"Mondo" custom adjustable steering arms
Associated steel turnbuckles

Most of the parts will be stock/composite parts as this is going to be my dedicated off road basher...

Mr. Mondo you are a bad influence. I was happy with just one but now since you have two 18t im considering on getting another, but this time use different aftermarket parts for it.....




Love the Wheels on the first 18t, cant wait to see what you do to the other one......Im jealous
