RE: Quality of Associated RC18MT

I have one, it's awesome. Bone stock will run circles around most other minis. Handles any terrain with ease, even long grass.
You can upgrade the crap out of these things. As far as I know, the...

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in quite a while. As a matter of fact, haven't even driven my RC18MT since March due to some crappy circumstances and just brought it out of hibernation. Yep, she...

RE: Front End Sticking (Shocks?) rc18t

Aren't the FT shocks threaded? Either way, you need to compress the spring by screwing the collar down or put a few spacers in there.

Also, you built them yourself, right? Make sure they're...

RE: Spur Issues 18T

If the gear is freely moving, then the mesh is probably too loose, causing shearing of the teeth, obviously not binding. There should be the slightest movement between the teeth, that's why people...

RE: How to tame the mamba ?!

I don't have experience with brushless yet, but I'd try gearing it a few teeth taller. I'm not sure which way to go, more or less. I think more...

RE: Which charger should I get?

There's really no need to cycle with a charger. Sure, it's a nice feature to have, but if you just drive till the battery's dead then charge it, that's cycling. I suppose if you were racing you...

RE: Outdrive Covers FActory Team RC18T ???????

If you ever damage a spring cup, like I did somehow, you can just use a spring from a ball-point pen. They work perfectly as replacements for when you lose a spring. Just trim to the length you...

Just take it apart, screw by screw. Don't be afraid; it won't fall to pieces or pop open on you. Hands on experience my friend. Once you take it apart once, it's...

RE: New shoes for my RC18MTruggy

Sweet KRO, I like it. I'm glad I still have the stock motor in mine seeing we just got dumped on yesterday. First real snow all season, 'bout 10 inches. Lot's of indoor driving for a while...:eek:

RE: Will this work?

Two things: I have two of those batteries and they are awesome. However, you can try one of these 7-cell/8.4v instead of the 6-cell/7.2v for more power/speed -...

RE: Best Shocks For RC18T

I recently installed some 3Racing shox. They work very nicely and they come with extra damping discs (the ones inside the shock with holes in them) with different numbers of holes to allow for more...

RE: Tire Choice for 18mt

An 18T has smaller tires and wheels than the MT, therefore you will need to change your stock 12/55 gearing to 10/60

RE: Best batteries

I run 6-cell SMC IB1400s with excellent runtimes and great punch. I wish I had opted for the 7-cells though, for that extra oomph.
I've read that the IBs are the new GPs, meaning not long ago GP...

RE: Tire Choice for 18mt

Correct.



This is true, however there are different compounds to choose from. Hard would wear slower and med/soft would get chewed up on the street rather quickly.
If you're gonna do it,...

RE: Tire Choice for 18mt

If you put 1/10 wheels and tires on you'll need to gear the T like an MT, which is 10/60. I highly recommend it. You'll add ground clearance and it looks so cool. Handles fine too. It really doesn't...

RE: Charging Question

1.5mAh should be the max and a good safe rate. 1amp would be best if you have a little extra time.

You can always safely charge amps to mAh, which means 1400mAh charge at 1.4amp, 1100mAh charge...

RE: rc18t,b,mt gallery- WHY NOT

zimm - Any hobby shop should have wheels/tires to mount on your ride. I assume you were referring to the 1/10 tc wheels? If so, yeah, easy enough to find. You will need 12mm hex adapters specific to...

RE: New Jump For My RC18T

Not sure about stock. I couldn't do it. I know with the extra power and speed of a brushless or a mini mod it would be easy. I haven't been outside much with my new 1/10 whaeels, but I bet that would...

RE: New Jump For My RC18T

I've been using that one myself. I "borrowed" it from my son. It's true the fly-wheels do go 30+ ft straight up and farther lengthwise. It's awesome! I've launched my RC18MT off it pretty good...
