I thought about the Half 8 but there is no kit, they are more expensive, everyone recomends a list of hopups out of the box. I don't want to have to buy the Half 8 strip out all the electronics, dissasemble half of it, put on another $100 of stuff to make it durable with powerfull electronics.. blah. Plus with Kyosho dist their own parts now and the fact that this is just a fun messing around kinda thing I want to go to any LHS and get parts.
I also looked at pics of the RC18b but I don't want the exposed shock towers and I dunno I think the truck still looks cooler and I've not found much in the Must have hop ups when it comes to RC18's or much in the way of problems.
Drifting around in the house is impossible with my mini-t. put a good powerfull motor, ESC, and GOOD batteries (KAN 1050's, GP's.. ect. not the RX pack junk 90% of the MFG's sell as Mini packs) in a mini-t and on slick surfaces kiss all control goodbye. Slight little bit on the throttle and its doing doughnuts and on loose dirt the thing is just impossible to drive.
yeah screw it.. I'm just going to poke around and get a FT RC18t kit. FT version also has a bunch of hop ups included which is a bonus in my book.
