Video Of My Toys..
Here's a video of the RC18T I used to have, and the Terra Crusher I have now. The RC18T had the Mamba 6800kv running on 9 GP1100 cells. I don't have it anymore but I figured I'd throw it in the video. The Terra Crusher has really low compression, but it still runs. Editing is a bit rough around the edges, but I did it kinda quickly. I didn't have much RC18T footage to work with, but I did what I could with it. Enjoy.

RE: Video Of My Toys..
The video doesn't exactly represent the full spectrum of what I usually do for a video, but I got sucked into a different project and stopped tweaking this one. Thanks for the comments guys. 
Yeah the RC18T was a real tire shredder. I had my girlfriend drive along side it, with me controlling it from the passengers seat and we got the RC18 up to 50mph. I wish I got that on video. It was a handfull to drive with all that power and it being so small. I'd hit a small pebble at top speed and that thing would just tumble for at least 100ft. If tie-rods were cookies, then that RC18T would be the Cookie Monster. It even ate a couple of titanium spur gears as well.

I used a Mamba 25 with a 6800kv motor and 9-GP1100 cells. I was going to add another cell, but I got rid of it before I could.

RE: Video Of My Toys..
Thanks guys.
Mac, the ESC was a Mamba 25. You need to have a brushless ESC to run a brushless motor. I bought the Mamba 6800kv package, ordered the Castle Link USB adapter (a must), and then added 3 extra cells onto a GP1100 7.2 pack. The 3 extra cells were placed where the stock ESC used to be, in order to distribute the weight more evenly. I could have thrown 10 or even 11 cells on if I wanted to (and switch to stiffer springs), but I ended up getting sick of charging batteries all the time. It was a fun little truck, and I really miss it.
All footage of that truck was with the ESC programmed to the lowest setting.
Maybe one day I'll get another one and use an 8000kv instead. But for now my money is being channeled into other projects. I highly recommend that anyone who owns a 1/18th, to get one of these brushless setups. You won't regret it.
