weak points on the 18t

[ChucksCity]

I need suggestions on how to makek the truck more rigid as a a whole i keep breaking ball caps or bending turnbuckles and the thing vibrates like crazy, any suggestions?

WRT The vibrating (sounds obvious I know) there may be a screw rattling around in there somewhere - check all of them including the threads. If it still persists have a look at the gears in the diffs.

You could try finding some aluminium parts for it - that may add some rigidity.

I don't have a RC18t so I don't know what the plastics are like, but on the Rage they're quite brittle - especially in the cold.

I would agree with upgrading to aluminum parts. As far as the ball cups breaking, are you running the stock or are you running titanium? You may want to try switching to titanium. I am running an -18t so modified that the only stock thing left on it are the body clips. There all kinds of upgrades out there. The only limits on upgrades are your wallet.

And your imagination.

If you do go aluminium/titanium be aware that you will need to upgrade everything to metal or you'll just keep breaking other plastic parts.

RPM Arms, RPM Shock Towers, RPM Wide Front Bumper, Titanium Turnbuckles.

What kind of driving are you doing to break them so easy? What do you mean it vibrates like crazy?

it had a lot of slack in the original plastic parts so it would vibrate under throttle, i did put on rpm arms and front bumper and steel turnbuckles to fix it though
