If you like the 1/10th scale, you'll love the 1/18th RC-18t. I got one as my first "real" RC truck and ended up putting several hundred dollars worth of Aluminum and Titanium on it as well as a brushless set up.
 
man i really want to get an RC18-MT sounds like loads of fun i can have in my house. plus i have 3 kittens....i would LOVE to see whats faster hehehehehe
 
Actually there has been a number 2 next to your name for some time now.

I don't want to derail this thread, but I just checked, and the column on the left still lists me as 1st place. On the main chart, #1 is the last person who reached the highest score of 3235, but he did it in 268 seconds, and I did it in 19! Top THAT losers!:second_place:

Back to the original thread now.....
That's a really beautiful paint job for a stock lid, Charlie.
 
So did you have any bearings left from your kit that you can use on this build? I just put a set on my Mini-T and WOW, I didn't think a set of bearings would make that big of a difference but man it sure did. It even quietened it down a lot considering the mini-t stock are plastic.
 
I didn't think about it, but I have TONS of bearings from my baja build, because I replaced every stock bearing with the team fast eddy pro system, I might have the size I need for the Rustys, too.
 
Well there's a cajun down in ville platte, LA that thinks he can take the T4 in stock form (and there's a good chance he's right) so I've got my Sidewinder setup ready to be installed. I ordered a maxamps 2S 6000 mah lipo battery pack and Hyperion AC/DC charger today. I should have it all put in by the time the battery and charger arrives. A good friend of mine here on the forum recommended this brand of charger to a fellow member, and he knows his business. You know who you are, and that's why I chose it.

smaxxin what exactly is that?


I'm the cajun down in Ville Platte that Charlie is referring to and this is the truck that Charlie will try to catch =devil

My guess is that he is showing the top speed?

yep, showing top speed on a crappy 6 cell battery. Charlie has the same set up but it's not installed yet so I'm talkin smack while I can LOL

Edit: I just broke a front arm on my truck so it won't be running tomorrow:depress:

Hey Ralph,

Smaxxin seems to have a bit of confidence. you think he could beat Charlie in VRC? I dunno...

Thats something we will never know.....too much $$ for a game.
