I bought an RTR RC18T with 3 batteries, 2 bodies, upgraded Venom Fireball motor + Stock motor for $100 shipped ;-)

I'd look for a used rc 18t they normally run about 80-150 on ebay

 

[beason]

the rc18 series are about the best bang for the buck. they are pretty tough, 4wd and interchangeable parts.

the micro line from losi are fun. the they are tiny!

 

[tim-rachel]

the rc18 are nice they hold up very good i let my 9 year old beat the crap out of rc18t and it keeps going

The RC18T. The only thing I've broken in 2 years of hard bashing is the steering bell crank, twice.

Just saw a Factory Team RC18T for sale, Assembled but NEW, never ran. a few sets of tires $85 shipped!

Not sure if you noticed but I didn't see any electronics in the set up just a roller.

 

[MotoGod]

He didn't have pics up when I saw it. Ad says it includes a stock motor, but no word on ESC or radio setup.

save and buy a 1/16th revo or slash when they are released

any word on the price? or release date?

 

[flm_savage]

may 14th is the release date. 200 for the slash and 300 for the revo.

 

[ChucksCity]

are they going to be 1/16th scale or 1/18th? I keep seeing different sizes when i find info on them

 

[MotoGod]

1/16th from what I have heard/seen.

 

[romeo_1984]

wow i looked it up and the revo has a brushless and goes 40 mph with a 3s lipo and the slash is 4wd and goes 30 with a 3s lipo!

 

[ChucksCity]

yeah I think I'm goin to get one to even though my 18t already does 55 on 3s

 

[Bartek]

I would go with Revo or Slash micro versions as they are well made and brushless already.

I run an XTM Rage (completely standard). It only cost £80.00 without P+P (dunno what that would be in $$$$$$$) but this was brand new. A week after I got it the stock steering servo was completely shot so I had to shell out £15 for an updated one (again - don't know what it is in $$$$$). You may be able to find an upgraded XTM on eBay.

Good luck
