i have a mini t with no upgrades accept for some slightly faster motor that was 15 bucks......i have around 100 bucks that i'm willing to spend an di'm wondering if i should order an rc18t or hop up my mini t...i'd like to get a mamba motor or something really fast, but i heard i tears the hell out of your diff???...so let me know what you think

i was also thinking on waiting for the half 8 mini inferno, does anyone know when that'll be in and how much and if it'll be any good?

thanks for your help

sweet. get the rc18t. keep the mini-t stock and spend ur money on a rc18t. it will blow a mini-t out of the water. very fast stock. like 16mph. only sucky thing is how long it takes the stock charger to charge.

u cant get a rc18t for 100 bucks unless its used and then ur buying someone elses problems so i would get the diff of ebay for less then 30 bucks and get the k3 from united rc and get the 32 battery pack from them and last but not least a wheelie bar so u can do what no rc18t can do and thats ride wheelies.

can you get cardboard and stick it on your stairs, then take a mini-t to drive all the way up stock WOT? No. Which can handle terrain better? Rc18t. Which is faster stock? the rc18t. which one can you leave stock forever? you cant leave the mini-t stock with those crummy friction shocks it comes with. The only complaint i have about the rc18t is how long the charger takes to charge. a rc18t has oil filled shocks. the mini-t has cheap friction shocks.Infact, up untill now, only two mini rc cars have oil filled shocks. Rc18t and the mini quake. all the rest have crummy friction shocks. so if you get a mini-t, then you will have to throw out another 30 bux for the shocks. maybe less. a rc18t just needs a new charger. then your set. you can get a new motor for the rc18t.


i say sell the mini-t, get a rc18t. after you get it, wait until you have 100 bux, then get a brushless. and get yourself a better battery.


the mini inferno will come out sometime in april. it is supposed to be around 200 bux or more when it comes out. it will be sweet except for those crummy friction shocks. i say get a rc18t after selling the mini-t, then put brushless in it, and when the mini inferno comes, if you really want it, sell the rc18t and keep the brushless. get the mini inferno and stick in brushless. thats my strategy.

thats just my 2 cents though.

I wouldnt spend the money on the minit even though i have spent almost $900 on mine. reason being is that 4wd is so much more fun and like the guy said above climbin the stairs wich a minit will not be able to! it wouldnt be so bad buying a used one. just ask them alot of questions. but the stock rc18t out of the box is prolly three times as fast or more then the minit was out of the box lol

do you mean that the rc18t is 3 times faster out of the box?

ive said it before and ill say it again if ur not going to upgrade then get the rc18t but if u want a wheelie pulling show truck get the mini-t. i guess ill change my advice. get the rc18t and also keep ur mini-t because they are both fun and both 2 different classes

yes i mean the rc18t is 3 times faster...


and wanna b nitro both trucks can be show trucks, but if all u like are wheelies then get the mini-t as the rc18t isnt so much a wheelie king because of the mid mounted motor setup. but u will benefiet 100% with the 4wd system on the rc18t. and i know i have a minit with well over $700 into after the rc18t came out i regret it because i would have rather put that money into my rc18t.

both fun trucks. but both difrent. the rc18t is a climber. 4wd etc...

oh well everyone is entitled to their opinion i have both the 18t and mini-t and right now like my mini=t more but now i have completed the upgrades to my mini and need to update my pics im now ready to start hopping up my rc18t . first im getting the mamba 8000 next month and now im searching for an alluminum chassis but there no where near as many hop ups for the rc18t then there is for the mini-t right now thats why i hopped up my mini-t first. i just got theese cars in december

Well thats great and i hopped up my minit as well.. but the thing lacks in 4wd mode that the rc18t is in right now.. besides out of the box
the rc18t is a hell of alot better deal then the mini-t . the mini-t out of the box needs a battery pack a charger bigger motor, better servo and not a all in one system just to compare to the rc18t

i agree out of the box the mini-t is a pos so anyone considering buying one i say its a great truck after you upgrade it

savage25gt

yea...the mini t is pretty fun but i'd like to get a mamba brushless....i went on www.beatyourtruck.com and went to projects and they put a mamba in a mini t and said it goes over 60mph!!! without anyother upgrades except for the motor, will my mini t do that or maybe soon rc18t?..but alos the site said that it tears up your dif very quickly.....but if you guys have any suggestions for my mini t JUST FOR NOW, then let me know what the best motor is that i can get without spending to much and ruining the car(a good low end motor)..thanks

put a mamba in a rc18t and you can punch it without flipping over.

anyone know of another brushless system that may be better than a mamba 8000, or a fast brushed motor that i can put into my rc18t, i will use the motor for my rc18t but sometimes use it in my mini t too

try the K3 from www.unitecrc.com or the new K4 u will be happy with that brushed motor!

well, team tekin is releasing the scorpion mini brushless. it is supposed to be more powerful than the 8000kv mamba.
