yeah Im running a sway bar but only in the rear right now. You have to use the ATM arms if you want to use the sway bars and the ATM arms even feel weaker than the stock arms. Ive broken 4 ATM arms compared to 0 stockarms. Im thinking of going aluminum and having my friend at work drill and tap the holes so I can use the sway bars with them. Otherwise if I break another arm I may just give up on them. For the record though they do create a noticable difference in handliing.

don't get the alum ones, they will rip out your hingepin holders, why not get your friend to drill and tap the stock plastic ones instead, ya, thats a bumr man, can you only get the swaybar and not the junky arms or what , shure sounds like it helps a ton

Got an RC18B wing today and modded it up a bit to fit on the stock 18T towers. Had to mod the back end of the stock body to fit it but i like how it turned out.

Some great looking minis there folks. I'm a particular fan of the beetle shell, so that Baja pushes my buttons.

My MLST2:









Wraith 7k, 33amp quark, 11.1 2000 TP lipo, 2.2 rims, just about everything custom.

that is one sweet clean looking LST2! yeah.. I like the beetle bodies also...

I took these for another thread... but what the heck.. I will post them here also






my lil 18T.. it's a great car.. I am still on the hunt for some different wheels and tires.. I am thinking proline wabash with bow-tie tires.. these BPM alum wheels are a little heavier, but they spin so straight! there's little vibration in the car when I throttle up with these..

Hmmmm, nice looking 18t, makes me yearn for mine back. I'll post the rest of my mini collection i think.

Various states of modification, got a couple of micro-t/dts too, Mini-z overland, x-mods etc. FTX Blaze (Vendetta I think)

And a cheap Mammoth/MLST size comp. Purely because I like staring at the mammoth.

my new 18r body.. just finished it and drove it once.. I know my wheels are thrashed.. I have new ones on the way. love those 3racing wheels/tires for the 18R.. so much better than the stockers.

My dad is a landscaper so I have a waterfall that I could crawl in and about 5 different good sized rock piles. I don't think I would like a crawler that much though...

Thanks to rschoi_75's info on the old 1/18th.com, I got myself a Mini Quake just a couple of weeks ago. Added a few parts along the way. Fun truck. Like it a lot. Better than other two 1/18 I have so far.
