How much would it cost to get an rc18 with a good brushless setup, beefier parts to handle the brushless power, a good lipo battery, and a good lipo and nimh chargerer?

jeez man im thinkin about sellin my savage and buyin into the brushless brotherhood. I might miss the sweet sounds of the nitro though. Are these little things bashable? im just wondering because the upgrade parts are alot cheaper and so are the replacement. Also i wouldnt have to buy $30 gallons of nitro. Would this be a fun replacement. I also might drive this inside , would the brushless be too much for inside? Im just wondering about the fun factor and if it is as great as my savage.

They are bashable to an extent, some of course being tougher then others. Asking if it would be "fun" really depends on your point of view, I have no place for large vehicles so they are perfect for me. The brushless may be a little to much for inside, of course that depends on the motor and battery. if you have a radio with end point adjustments you can tone it down for messing around indoors.

Are these things controllable at 50 mph? is it even easy to control them to go off a jump? they seem hard to control with such a short wheelbase.

I don't think 50 is the breaking point. It's more like 38mph. 50 is just insane. !!!
