Basically what I'm running is as follows..
Stock FT RC18t
Novak SPY ESC
Hitec HS56 (I'm not 100% though I know its a hitec)
CheapBatterypacks.com Intellect 1200 6 cell packs
Motor.. In these pics its got a Great planes 280 sized BB ferite Airplane motor (serious torque but little rpm) but I also have a Trinity Mini Machine Monster termination (silly high RPM motor) and I have a Trinity Cobalt 16t motor that I've not even used yet.
thus far its great! I've been driving it aorund the house kinda easy to get the diffs broken in a bit and adjust them. Its squats and goes when you jump on the throttle not like the wheelie happy mini-t. The RC18t's got a lot of steering too and is soo smooth and quiet compared to the mini-t. The greatest part aobut the RC18t though.... there are NO stupid microscopic Sized e clips like on the Mini-T! God I hate those tiny stinking e clips on the mini-t!
I'm keeing the mini-t for now. I'll probably keep it around and get it running again with new electronics but use very mild motors in it.
