| flat roof track, gonna buy a couple 1/18's, who like what and why?
it's a typical flat roof, gravel everywhere, decent size tho, about 30 x 35 feet. I am going to construct wooden burms and ramps and lay down some pipe. There's a pile of options for 18th scale vehicles. what are the toughest ones from your collective experiences? There will be the off chance of an approx' 18 foot drop to concrete as well, lol. With all the gravel on this roof being tiny to up to about a half inch I'm going to need ground clearance. a micro-t btw, goes no where. 1/10's are too big and fast. The mini revo's and slash's will be too fast and will definitely hit the ground below as well.... I think it might be either... http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=LOSB0217 -or- http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=ASC20110 Last edited by BoredGord; 06-30-2009 at 08:46 AM. |

If your going to get a Mini LST2 you will need this for it: http://www.exotekracing.com/EXOTEK_N...ONVERSION.html The stock servos are junk, there is no way around it. The diffs are good with the metal ring and pinion gear but the internals are plastic. You will need to rebuild the diffs after around 20 packs if you go brushless. Also the center diff will need to be changed out with an MIP ball diff or the Losi Mini T ball diff. And the Mini T dual disk slipper bolts right up, and replaces the stock junk slipper. I had a Mini LST2 for over a year before I sold it, still miss it. They are awesome little trucks when dialed in but they take some work. This is my old one with a Quark 33a esc and Wraith bl motor, this thing was too much fun! |

i had both, both r good fun trucks, but in my opinion the rc18mt is a lot tougher. i jumped mine over everything and anything!, kept on going. the lst center driveshafts and dog bones wore out pretty quick, servos too., it's a heavier little truck vs. the 18mt. rc18mt is also a lot cheaper to hop up.
