So is this from experince? You have used the GPM shocks. Tell me why they are bad.
And keep in mind i am not bashing this ride..

dont even know if its possible to dump that much $$ in it without having gold chunks somewhere or like a really nice fm radio.

LOL I now have two RC18mt's Thats how..
Ill put up a cost sheet when I am done

 

[nitro_freak1]

had em.. they leak... are weak (shock shafts, shock caps).... its gonna leak weather ur runnin it or setting it on ur shelf......

 

[joey]

i can second on the GPM shocks there POS's shafts bend easy and they leak badly the best shocks I've used on my RC18T was the FT's they have a tighter fit on the clip that holds in the seals compaired to the stocker plastic shocks that are known for just leaving a puddle oil on your desk(happened to me!)...

someone had one made by gpm. It was red. They had to order directly from gpm. It was someone on another forum.

Vary awsome ride! Are you going to stay stock battery or go li-poly?

 

[redhatman]

me want me want. LOL. I never saw an all aluminum rc18t until now... mine was getting there but still needed the chassis and deck along with diff cases. I decided I didnt like aluminum, plastic is my way. Looks great!

 

[itsme]

That thing is looking sweeet bro, I'm definately going to look into the blue alloy pieces for mine now, thank you very much LOL!
