Traded the RS4 for this;











Comes with everthing in that last pic....Sweet! Just need to get a better motor...Thinking Trinity Cobalt 14t....hehehe....:racing:

[destroy_my_revo_15]

did you already get it or are those the pics he sent you?

[rocco79]

Excellent trade!!! I have a rc18t and its a blast

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

You did a lot better than the trade you offered me involving the RS4!! That's a good looking little truck setup. I wonder....can I trade one of our rs4's off.......hmmmmm? Where did you hookup that deal?

[t to the maxx2]

Rc18t's are fun. I have one right now, but it is waiting on a few diff gears. Should be here tomarrow. Damn mamba 8000....

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

They look fun with the 4wd and all. Way more power to the ground than the Mini T... I really admire the build that Six did on his, but he really invested some coin, too!
So the Mamba is tough on gears..is there a solution for that with stronger parts, or is it just something you have to deal with, like spur gears on a P5 Revo?

[Traxxas_Junkee]

do they make a balldiff?

[destroy_my_revo_15]

yea im not sure about the rtr but the FT comes with two

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

Or diffs on a picco maxx, well besides for the ue 6 and 8 spyders...

[Traxxas_Junkee]

matt, if john decides not take the other one, it looks like it is in peices, if he doesnt take it what would i need to get it running?

[Ponch]

Dave, I got the trade off of savage-central.com .....Great guy on there....Lives in MI.

And yeah, those are the pics he sent me. We're shipping tommrow.

[Ponch]

I think he said it needed turnbuckles and tires but I don't remember....

[Traxxas_Junkee]

ok, if thats all that would be no problem at all, the ESC and reciver are different on that right?

500th Post!

[SixVi6-Camaro]

Man thats one good deal there for that 18MT with all that extra stuff.

do they make a balldiff?

All the RC18t's have ball diffs front and rear. FT version has the carbide diff balls and Aluminum outdrive rings though. the Problem is not the Diffs though, Its the gears. There is a company that is going to make upgrade gears with an Aluminum pinion and delrin ring gear that should be alot better but I also think part of the problem is the soft plastic gear cases of the 18t deflecting with all the torque from the BL and opening up the mesh. I shimmed my diffs so the ring gear is tight on the pinion to help make them last longer. I may try out a couple lower aluminum diff cases and run stock diff gears to see if the gears last any longer.

Here is the link to the upgrade gear pre-order. hehe.. I'll let yall know how they are when I get them.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

cool, Six do u know if an orion big block would fit in there? i hope destroy my revo doesnt take the other one. lol

[SixVi6-Camaro]

Yeah the Orion Big block will fit fine. the RC18 series has a motor mount with several mounting holes for all different sized motors and plenty of space to mount it.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

sweet, i hope i get the other one lol

[Ponch]

Kyle you prolly won't...John was like all over it lol.....And he has the cash right now heh....Thanks for trading receivers w/ me yesterday BTW.

[destroy_my_revo_15]

yea im still undecided about that

[Traxxas_Junkee]

no problem with the reciver, lol, i hope i get it. i gotta go get a new battery pack for my minit if dont get that. or maybe ill keep the mini t if i get that one too. lol

[Ponch]

Hey, the package showed up today....Freggin parents won't let me open it..."naaa have to wait till the weekend naa----"

[Traxxas_Junkee]

lol, sneak down after they go to bed and then tape it back up, or u could try that "maybe its not the right stuff in side and if its not i have to talk to that $^#($%^*$"

[Ponch]
