Hands down, the AE mini. More durable, and quick as greased snot out of the box.

FYI

Mini T = 2 wd

RC18T = 4 wd

IMO it depends on your driving style in order what to get.

I got the Mini-t when it first came out. The hop-ups were unreal. http://www.rccaraction.com/articles/minit_mad.asp

I would rather have the RC18 from what I have read. Nothing against the mini-t. Just seems that the RC18 is a stronger car to start with.

RC18T, Just gotta have that 4wd......OH, and I have 5 of them, LOL

WOW. Just wow. The only way you should even THINK of a mini-t is the mini-t pro. Go the 18t route. With a few select parts, it's a GRRRRRRRRRRREAT! truck.

ok.. and if i did get the RC18 would there be any manditory hop ups.

I have both. The RC18T is better than the Mini T hands down. It's better balanced and it's 4WD. Whatever your driving habbits are; down the street, accross the lawn or into the dirt you'll have more fun with it than you will wit a Mini T.

Shim the diffs are optional but highly recommended. A better battery pack will give you higher performance.

Yes. Driven pro drag-link, spring retainer mod, shimmed diffs, and I reccomend a hex-heads conversion. I would also advise you to buy an rpm bumper and get the factory-team kit.

man.. i was trying to get a mini to save money. haha

lol, the parts do have 1/18th scale prices though.
