Its been a while since I owned a 1:18 model, but I remeber having a lot of fun with em. ive had revos, assscoited and an x-ray. But I was on AE website today and found that since they are being discontinued, you can get a factory team RC18.2 kit for 80 bucks!!!I figure some hobbywing stuff or a tacon and a flysky and an affordable mini servo and i can keep it under 150 bucks. I use to love my rtr brushless RC18.2 buggy. Ive noticed dromida, but dont know much about them. any body have a suggestion for another 1:18 kit or rtr Nothing that is strictly on road tho. thoughts?

Believe it or not, Proline just announced a 1/25th scale 4x4 truck, the Ambush. Look like a hoot. Dromida is the RC arm of Revell the plastic model maker. My local hobby store carries them. Seem to be decent for the price. Spare parts and upgrades available.

I'm an Associated fan, but never looked into the 1/18 RC offerings from them. I have to laugh at their website as the "headlines" scroll across the top...there is a All New 1/18 RCs page. When you click on it you are routed to the 1/18 scale section. Top of the page is where RC18T2-RC18B2 are showing up. Go on the discontinued RCs page, they show up there as well, but only the RTRs are on the discontinued page.

I wish people would stop bringing RCs to my attention! Just kidding.

I feel compelled to look at the RC in question, and then I get feeling I should have one! Thanks, mybuggy1987.

I never kept tabs on much of anything smaller than 1/12th scale RCs. I had a couple of 1/18th scale monster trucks years ago which left a bad taste in my mouth. They had nothing even close to the design of the RC18T2-B2. Since mrbuggy1987 had a RC18B2 before...does the belt drive hold up to abuse?

yeah, I use to have a 18t2 and they held up very well to a pretty strong motor setup on 3s, but I do remember having to do some kind of free mod to make sure the belts were tensioned right, but the more I have looked, caster makes, what I believe to be the most badass 1/18 kits I have ever seen in my life. there beefy as hell and setup just like 1/8 e buggies, the pro versions that is.

mrbuggy1987

but if your pure associated, you cant beat 80 for a Ft kit, where it use to be like 180.00. Go on thier website and see for yourself.They have the new reflex 1/18, but it looks to be just a retooled 18b2

I dont know why I said use to have one, I still have it, damn its been a long day, lol.
