RC18MT RTR ~$150

Anyone else?

Check out the wicked hood ornament. Helps balance the thing on jumps.

Bug is alive actually, scary bastard.

have looked at them before but dont have one. they look they are lots of fun.

they did a review of both rc18s in the august issue of RC Driver

ManiacMagoo · 07-05-2005, 07:51 PM

They are way faster then I would of thought. I have one on the shelf. First thing you should do is get some heat shrink tubing and put it on the out drives or when your driving it you will lose the shafts and the tensioner springs in them

.

JohnRobHolmes · 07-05-2005, 08:03 PM

brushless??

EeePee · 07-05-2005, 08:23 PM

Not brushless, yet. Saw a video of 61 mph!!! Wow.

And yeah this thing is really quick right out of the box. Though I'm used to the Lathed Clod. Faster than a stock motored RC10, I think. This one has the 370 motor.

AE has their own solution for the outdrives/dog bone falling out thing. And I actually think they found it/listened to users on the one18th forums. An AE guy is a mod on that site. These guys were using 5/16ths compression fitings slipped over the thing, and now Associated supplies a small brass colored sleeve to go over the outdrives.

Good looking out though, and the shrink wrap makes a lot of sense...

ManiacMagoo · 07-05-2005, 08:28 PM

G uess I just got it before they knew of it

. Ah yes you saw the mamba brushless video that thing is crazy. Well mine is a stadium truck not the monster but only difference is body and tires I think.

EeePee · 07-05-2005, 09:18 PM

MT has the 370 motor and a 10 tooth pinion. Though the T might have those pieces now, too.

For $150, this thing is a blast. I can't believe how small it is!

TwistedCreations · 07-05-2005, 09:33 PM

yeah and probably keep up with your stick

FrankyRizzo · 07-05-2005, 10:26 PM

I just picked up one this weekend for my son. My 3 year old loves it. They are wicked fast for stock out of the box. Of course anything is fast next to a GD-600 TXT.

I got mine for $100 OTD. Got the hook up. I really like it. It is alot of fun. I had a MInizilla but I think the fun factor is better on the 18MT.

Cool man! And wow that was cheap. If you don't have the outdrive collars, or shims in your diffs, you can email, or call actually, Associated Elec. to get these MANDATORY parts for free.

Check out www.one18th.com forums. They have a forum (duh) dedicated to the RC18 trucks.

I do the same thing.

JohnRobHolmes · 07-06-2005, 09:25 AM

i go to other sites if im trying to sell stuff :-D or if im watching the brushless scene. ultimate rc has a brushless forum thats good for non crawler vehicles. at first it was all trial and error but now people know fast spinning brushless is no good for heavy vehicles.

i love the mini's. too bad i took my losi apart for a vmg tranny!

EeePee · 07-06-2005, 03:13 PM

Anyone notice the huge bug on the hood?

fuzzhead · 07-06-2005, 03:57 PM

JohnRobHolmes · 07-06-2005, 04:38 PM

Ha ha, that "he" was me.

You'd think those $20 avatars would do something for recognition
