I have $300.00 to spend on a mini!

What would be a good racer/basher!

I'm going to race and i want something to bash with!

A list of parts would be grate!

Thanks!!!

Probably an 18t. I could give you a set-up if I knew how big the track was and how the track is set-up.

the 18t isent that good for bashing not very strong i would say use the rc18mt or mini lst

Seek and Destroy

I use the rc18mt for everything, until it broke. I just need one little $2 part to fix it, but nobody sells it except ebay.[:@][&o]

andrewtexas123

Then buy it off ebay i think the rc18mt is the best bet

Seek and Destroy

I won't have it in time for this weeks races.

Doahh

You do relize that the 18T and 18MT are exactly the same except for tires wheels body and gearing?
I have an 18T and I throw it off my house with my mamba... I'd get a vid of the 18T jumping using the peak /\ of the house but I don't have a videocamera

Seek and Destroy

Doahh, what wt. shock oil are you using? Mine will slap the ground on small jumps. I'm using 50wt. I wish I had a videocamera, i'd make a bunch a vids, but I don't have $500 to spend on a camera.

You don't need a $500 camrea i got a $100 form radio shack and its fine for what im using it for. It may also be the springs that you are using.

Seek and Destroy

Maybe i'll get that $100 camera. What was it called.

*Nitstklr72*

oh they dont make it anymore and mine broke someone at a camp snapped the screen off.

you so get the alloy steering set up, the steel turn buckles, threaded shocks, some kind of metal diffs, mip cvds, and maybe some alloy shock towers

Seek and Destroy

I'll give you a set-up that should be good.

Car: 18t factory team kit
Servo: Hitec hs-65
Esc and motor: Mamba package
Reciever andd radio: You could use one you already have
Bat: Reedy mini-max 1100mah 6 cell bat

Price
Car: 134.99
Servo: Don't know
Esc and motor: 100-120
Reciever and radio: 0
Bat: 30-40


Total: 265-295 but you still need a servo.

*Nitstklr72*

That is ok but I would get a ib pack and a quark mamba pack from www.b-p-p.com .

hands without shadows

Rc 18t or rc 18mt, or a mini lst. I would personally go with the 18mt for the amount of hopups available.


Congrats on the better spelling *nitstklr72*, still not perfect but your getting there!!! LOL!!!

*Nitstklr72*

What did I misspell there? Also don't forget my better grammer.

The only reason I started capalizing things is because I need to get use to it again for school. Wew.[&o] I would rather get a 7 cell ib pack than a 6 or 7 cell gp pack. I just got the gp pack cause I needed one for a race and my lhs had it, so I bought that instead.

go with a duratrax vendetta its cheap ($175). its fast stock. its very durable (i built a ramp and jumped it over the railing of my 8 foot deck and it went about 3 feet over the railing and landed on flat ground no problem). its 4 wheel drive and has great handling. it comes stock with 75mhz futaba radio equipment. its completely ready to run (it comes with everything even the 8 alkalines for the tx). it has oil filled fully adjustable shocks. aluminum shock tower, drive shaft, front brace and shock caps (there may be more but cant think of any). it is fully upgradeable with lots of parts (not as upgradeable as some others but it still has alot out there). it even has a 2 year stress tech gaurentee which cover all the major structural parts on the entire car. the only downside to the vendetta is that it comes with a 6 cell NICD instead of NIMH which come with most of the other models you are looking at (but that is a easy $15-20 fix with a NIMH pack). everyone always bashes duratrax and the vendetta but thats just because they have never driven one. as tony the tiger says "THEIR GREAT" haha lol!!! (yes, if you are wondering i used the same comment in another thread i just dont feel like retyping all of it when i have the same thing to say)

any mini can bash with the right mods, but not all are equal on the track. i have a factory team rc18t and i have never broken a part racing or bashing. throw some monster tires (or street treads depending on what you want to do) and it will be a great basher, but at the track its great. i think getting a racer and then bashing it is better than getting a basher to race. just think of it like trying to race a hpi savage versus a truggy, the truggy still has great suspension travel and can take jumps, but on the track it will positively dominate the regular monster. i hope that sounded right, not really in the best state to be thinking right now.

Mr. Mugen

Must be a Texas thing...lol.......George W

stu92

your best bet is the rc18b faster ten all the trucks good on track i have one

peed

get a mlst, buy some dish wheels, king pins, graphit parts, and your done, oh and new diffs.

Mr. Mugen

Another buy "my car" thread eh......lol There is a pretty good sticky at the top of the column titled which mini for me.......take a look at it. Inverted put some work into this thing.

Seek and Destroy

I wouldn't say the 18t is a basher. Mine can barely handle the track without breaking something. Sooo, i'm retirining it and i'm going to race my mlst. It's a lot stronger and doesn't break everytime I use it.

peed

actually at my track a guy drives a minit with a trinity 17t, it jumps cool, but is jumps with any little rock on the way, if you go mlst you are not having that problem.
