I don't have either but I could make that decision based on reputation alone.

Associated.

whats wrong with duratrax?

Duratrax,I have the Evader ST Pro and the Mini Quake SE.So far no problems,both are quality products.

 

[dannyd]

but which would be a better choice? the vendetta or the rc18b?

RC18b....more support and after everyone is bored w/ em you can buy parts for cheap....just like the mini-T and the RC18T

Another vote for the RC18B. I got one recently, and have already wore out the RTR motor. Next is a Reedy MiniMax, while I save for a brushless setup.

Parts availlability for the 18B would be a LOT easier for your LHS, too. As most LHS's do the majority of their ordering thru Horizon (I know; I used to work at one), which Associated can be gotten thru. Duratrax, on the other hand, is a Great Planes (Tower Hobbies) ONLY brand.

Another one for Associated. Parts, options and support. :hammer:
