Default RC18t vs. RC18b

Aside from the body and wing, are there any differencees between the buggy and truck? Also, why is there a hole cutout inder the motor; i'm sure it is to dissipate heat, but won't debris find it's way onto the motor/chassis?

I can't talk to the differences, I haven't seen a b yet, but to your second question- yes, it is a hole that debris and dirt can enter, but it hasn't been a problem for me yet... I have had that 18t on a track, on the dirt and everywhere in between, and it hasn't been a problem for me.

The tires in the front are definately different, the B uses a narrower front tire.

RC18T + BRP Da Buggy Body = Truggy = Problem solved [8D]

The only difference between the B and the T is the B has different front tires/rims, different rear rims, buggy body, and a wing.

One difference in the shock towers is where the body mounts--the RC18T has two posts on each shock tower while the RC18B has one on each tower. I believe the rear shock tower also has another difference since I mounted a RC18B wing on my RC18T last night and the proposed stock mounting dimples wouldn't align up--the wing stays are now farther apart on my RC18T than they would have been on the RC18B.



If you visit the following thread and scroll down the Post #24, you will see where I posted detailed photos of the RC18B next to and on top of an RC18T.
