Team Associated RC18T Spy Shot!!!**new pics,price,release date**

assoc_18.jpg


We uncovered a major secret during a routine visit with Team Associated recently. Tucked away in a partially opened cabinet, we couldn’t help but notice a suspicious little truck with a mini T4 body. Apparently someone left the cabinet open and before the engineers could wrestle us to the ground, we snapped off a couple of pictures it.
They may not be the greatest shots, but you’re looking at a prototype of the A-Team’s new RC18T mini truck. Look closely and you’ll notice the aluminum propeller shaft running down the center of the chassis. Yes the truck is 4WD and it will also include oil-filled shocks, front and rear diffs and it’s compatible with the many wheels and tires designed for the Losi Mini-T. The chassis has room to install a six cell flat pack on the left side of the chassis and the motor, ESC, receiver and steering servo are mounted on the right.
According to Associated, an RC18T RTR is already in the works and they might even release a kit version. LRP is working on a special ESC and motor for the RTR version, but the truck is designed to use the current crop of motors, batteries and other micro electronics. Keep checking back, because we’ll have better shots of the RC18T soon.

That clear plastic is cool.

I wonder if they'll keep that clear or if it is just for prototyping? The only clear plastic I have seen on RC's is that Mini-Z that I am not too hot on, but hell who knows....
 
I saw on a few other forums that the plastic will not be clear on the production version.
 
the clear is just for prototype the production madel will be black plastic
 
why are they even making it 4wd it wont be able to compete with the losis....??? or are there diff rules for minis?
 
I'm sure it'll be able to race w/ the T's cause the off-road mini scene needs as much intrest as possible if they are going to try and race...

No, I do not have a release date.
 
i looks good but I'm ganna run the mini t for the rest of the season then nexted year ill buy it just so they get all the bugs out of it
 
and I just got a Mini T and started moding it...

I see it forsell soon..lol..
 
These new pictures reveal that the RC18T is almost ready for production. In fact, the only non-production parts on this truck are the front and rear ball diffs. According to Associated, the truck will be available late in November and will have a street price of around $159. The RC18T will include an Associated Jaguar 2-channel radio system as well as a 6-cell 1100 Ni-MH battery pack and charger. The truck will also be equipped with a full set of rubber sealed bearings, an Ace forward, brake and reverse ESC and high speed micro servo.
