Default My wife's NEW RC18T that I built for her (Street edition)

So the best way to not have your spouse all P.O.ed about what money you spend on RC is to have something built to make her happy that she is apart of something.

I aquired an RC18T about a year ago or more. And I had a shell painted for me by JGO designs. Well we ran that plain ole stock RC around and the ESC took a crap. So as I was upgrading my many other RC's I decided to add a little bling to hers and bring it back to life. Now its a brushless RC but I geared it so it wasnt too fast to the point that she would destroy it, but I also kept things simple like adding an Associated 8.0 MGT reciever and radio system to it. It gave it the capability to run and allowed me to tune the system to run the way I wanted it to.

Oh and I know it has a Novak decal on there, but she wanted it on there.

So here is my Wife's RC18T
*Trinity Cobalt brushless motor
*Quark brushless 33A ESC
*MIP diffs (front and back)
*All aluminum chassis and gear from
3Racing
GPM
Atomic
Integy
RDlogics
Team Associated
*3Racing touring wheels
*Delrin adapters
*Intellect 1800 NiMH
*Deans plugs

I believe that it uses 3racing wheels(no spinners).
