'65 Mustang - Xray M18

I've just finished the build on my new Xray M18 and rather than use the kit supplied body I painted up a classic '65 Mustang.

I haven't run my M18 as yet so I can't tell you anything about how well it might handle. The transmission seems to be very free and smooth running so that's good. I'm a bit concerned about the rear toe-in as it looks to be pretty extreme.

I installed an HPI 45T mod motor and I have a 5-cell 600mAh NiCad battery in the car now. Just waiting for a chance to take it to the local carpet track for a spin. Steering servo is a Hitec HS-81MG which is a perfect fit. My receiver is an Airtronics 2 channel FM version and I have an HPI ESC installed. Space is very limited on this thing so the smaller gear you can locate the better.

Sweet Stang Steve!!! Nice to see a different body on the M18 for a change!
A flash would be a good fit on there

The body looks OK, but I wish Bolink would include even basic decals for their bodies. Painting the headlights and bumper is a pain.

I can take a few pics of the bare chassis for all you voyeurs out there... The HPI speed control is a pig and I'd really like to replace it with a Novak Spy, but a TO Flash would do in a pinch.
