Does it have brushless? I put the 6800kv mamba setup in mine and it flies.

I actually have no idea. I do know that it has a baja motor on it and I'm pretty sure it would beat my tmaxx on a hole shot! lol

Go with a castle creations 4600kv setup on that thing. You can run anything from a 6cell nimh, to a 3s lipo for insane speeds.

I have a Venom Fireball on my RC18T and it's already fast as hell. I can't even imagine a FASTER motor on here. lol

I would recommend the Castle Creations Mamba 6800Kv set up. It can handle up to a 3s LiPo. It will almost be uncontrollable with the 3s. I've been running both of my RC18s on 7-cell Nimh packs and they are a lot of fun. The other reason to use the Mamba set-up is then you can use the Castlelink programmer to fine tune the ESC.

It will burn up on a 3s.

Actually when I bought the set, Castle stated that it would run on the 3s LiPo. The next step up from the comp package (6800 kv) was limited to the 3s.

Castle also told me that my mamba maxx 5700 setup could handle 3s lipo, but i guess i proved them wrong half way through my 3s 5000mah lipo, when it caught on fire. 63270rpm is just too much for these motors to be pushing.
