Hey everyone,
I'm new to this awesome helpful forum . I am gonna buy a Megatech /Megapro Pro Pulse. It's basically an rc18t knock-off but it've read really good reviews bout it!. I'm basically gonna buy the truck, and gonna buy the hobbyking 7800kv 25a combo along with it. Because the brushless might be too much power, im also ordering steel diffs and steel pinion and spur.I want to get a lipo for it (2s) and within theprice of $20. Anyone know what I can get for my truck.. And what would fit??. Also it would gr8 if you awesome guys could tell me what u think o the combo!!!
Thank you so much for any help.

I've been recommended these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=26676 for the rc18t, if it's a copy I don't see why they wouldn't fit

HiGuysIamNew

Thanks sooo much.. Really helpful!!! Any more views anyone??

few minor corrections its not a RC18 knock off actually its design is only somewhat similar like most RC's are
Now on the other hand it is what the HPI Recon is based off of as everything except the motor mount is a 100% direct fit.

I used that in my recon, but any battery with the same dimensions would work

i myself ordered these wednesday http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...0mah%20airsoft for my rc18mt

HiGuysIamNew

Thanks but I was looking for one with a higher mah for longer run times. This will be my back-up . Thanks a lot...

HiGuysIamNew

thanks but they are out of stock. I've been looking for some with similar dimension but I can't seem to find some. Thanks for any more inputs

i typed in google rc18mt max size and this came 32mm x 104mm x 18mm if yours is a clone im sure its the same then i wanted bigger aswell but had to go with what i could find to fit

HiGuysIamNew

Thanks .. But could I fit this battery--- http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...6_models_.html
it says width is 34mm. Is there ANY way I could fit this without too much modification. I don't want to modify .. Do you think this could work or should I still go for a smaller one within 32mm??
Thanks

echthelion

im sure it will fit but no clue if it will without mods but remember 2mm is not alot. im sure theres people who run those sizes but i can only speak for myself and say i to was to lazy to buy something that "could" need mods and went with a smaller mah. you could buy those and fit then i could kick myself for not getting that size lol

HiGuysIamNew

Lol!! Thanks.. Gonna take the risk? Should I or should I not i am confused!! Thanks for your input now I just have to decide if I wanna take the risk . Thanks again.. Oh ps. Do you think the brushless combo would be good with the diffs (steel upgrading)
thanks!!

echthelion

ive been looking into the steel gears aswell the ones i found would be 44bucks for the f/r and i think to myself f^&@ that lol but if i strip alot of gear im sure ill upgrade but untill i test i wont know. tho i went with a 4300kv motor i have more inhouse driving in mind and i dont need a 7300kv motor car rocketing into one of my cats =P

if it is too wide the issue is it will rub the center drive shaft, but I just tried the battery I recommended and there is a little room. Not 100% sure if its 2mm's more or not as I can't find my calipers, but I'd guess it is.

the gens ace is out of stock for along time thats the one i had planed to buy but was forced to the turnigy

ill have my lipos today tho my esc and motor will be monday or tuesday

HiGuysIamNew

Thanks.. I think im gonna take the risk and go with the 34 mm wide lipo!! Hope it works. As for brushless system, what do you guys think??

HW 18A 18T combo was in my recon made the sucker fly(and get totaled in one hit...).
