LOOKING TO BUY 1:18 Electric RC

[Nitro Rascal]

Hi I've been looking at the 1:18 electric RC cars like the XTM Rage, Losi Mini-T, Associated RC18T, and similar which do you think is best I could stretch to an RC18T but I'm on quite a tight budget. Thanks :thumbup:

I highly suggest the RC18T. Mini-T is a good ride as well. I have both, the RC18T gets 2x more use.

I love my mini-inferno. its not a 1/18th, its a 1/16th.

I have a mini-t that gots several hundred dollars in aluminum and carbon fiber hop ups, and I have an RC18B that's brand new right out of the box, and I drive the RC18 a lot more simply because it handles so much better with the 4 WD, and it's more fun to drive. The RC18 series seems to be built really strong and turable as well, and there's a lot of aftermarket support. I'm sure teh XTM is a nice rig, but if I were you I would do some research to be sure that the aftermarket companies support it. These things are a lot of fun to fix up because the parts are so cheap.

have you looked at the MLST from losi? its 4wd and a MT so you can take it just about anywhere. when searching, look for ones that have updated diffs or the newer version, MSLT2. i have the original version and love it. several aftermarket companies support it and the parts availability is plentiful.

Also, don't rule this out. Comes RTR with lipo and dsm radio gear.

I would also recommend the RC18t. They're a hoot right out of the box. There is also a ton of aftermarket support. I have an -18t and an -18r and neither is stock anymore. The other great thing about these little buggers is that they are cheap to upgrade.

I have an XTM Rage. It is very fast, I'm not sure how fast compared to a rc18t or mini t because i havnt used them.
