I have a couple of 18th scale models. They are loads of fun out of the box. I've been playing with my RC-18t for almost 18 months and it's just great. The other plus for the critters is that there are a lot of aftermarket upgrades and they are really cheap. You can find them on most hobby sites like Tower Hobbies or Hobbytown USA.

:yes: my 18t went at least 20 mph before the ESC crapped out on me. I'm buying Heartbreak's stocker ESC when I get the cash... but for now it's a shelf queen. I'm painting up a body for it right now while I'm waiting.

Yep. You'd be surprised how many people sell upgrades and accessories for the RC18 series. If I had to recommend one I'd go for the RC18t or mt any day. If you want a more race-like rig you can go for the buggy version but it doesn't look as fun to me.

Yep. There are alot of 1/18 scale hopups out there not specifically made for the 18t but they will fit. Such as mamba brushless systems. That damn thing will fly with a BL setup.

I wanted to buy an XRAY M18, but I got a buggy instead. But still, people like it right out the box. Or, you can get the NT18.

The only problem with the X-Ray is stuff is that it is verry expensive. I have a 1/8th scale buggy and the parts seem to be about 50% more expensive, but I'll also say that you get what you pay for.

I have an M18 and it's a REALLY nice mini car. I have loads of hop-ups on mine too but right out of the box the quality is superb. I imagine the truck version is just as nice and as durable as an RC18
I have an m18 and a few RC18MTs...both kick ass but the M18 sits way too low to run on an average street....especially since I got a CF penguin chassis for it....
