I thought my new rc18t needed something, and this is SO sweet lol. I kinda halfassed it, tape on the outside, and kinda just ripped off all the sucky decals and threw it together, but man does it look sweet.....for the time that the paint stays on lol. Can you guess where i shop?? haha i have about a billion of these decals.

Looks sweet till the first time it flips and all the paint on the hood scraps off. Lets see whats under the lid. If it isnt stock.

Thanks. O boy this beast isnt stock. It has a Dynamite C4 9200kv BL, Quark 3.3 Pro ESC, Thunder Power 2100mah 3 cell Lipo, Novak XXL reciever, BRP Foams and 1/10th scale tire adapters. This thing is SOOO FAST, but i broke the motor trying to get the pinion off, so i gotta wait till the guy finds the reciept or just send it in for repair. I'm not that pissed cuz my new CRT is in the mail :D

Sweet man. I want lipos sooo bad, but I just spent 2 bills on a pair of Okleys so I'm maxxed for a while. I just got a lrp 1200 pack but the day I got it I was running my old battery and I hit this little thing and riped the spur gear guard right off and striped the wholes, and broke another steel tie-rod. Live and learn. Brushless is deffinatly the way to go for shure. Id never go back.

Haha yeah, my brother and his friend both got rc18t's stock and upgraded to modified motors and regular packs, they didnt know it, but i was silently waiting and searching for a sick deal and i got it. Now they are both getting brushless ;). Ill still smoke them with my lipo haha. But seriously, i am actually afraid when i try to set this esc because of the huge throttle lol
 
I was thinking about geting that motor especially now that I got the speed controller. My hobby shop buddy says hell give it to me for 40, maby when I get some more cash ill pick it up just to see. But then again my buddy wants to sell me his rigs for 100 bucks and thats a steel to. You know theres just to much cool stuff and not enough green to snatch it up.

Bryson
 
Yep and I'm probally going to spent some more green backs at rcx if I go. Money talk get me thinking I got to sell my ntc3. One step at a time though I guess.

not too shabby man. I've been slowly working on an RC18T body for quite a while now. I changed the shape of my headlights as well... pretty similar to what you did with yours.
