Default Need help deciding....

...which mini to get. It's either an rc18b factory team or the mini baja. The problems I see with that is the mini baja will probably break easier since it's pretty much a mini-t, and that I don't have a servo and bat and stuff for the 18b. I have the money for the 18bft, but not the mini baja, yet. What do you think? I would much rather have the 18b, but I haven't ever had a mini-t and think it would be cool to have a vehicle with some offroad capabilities (how ever you spell that) out of the box.

Thanks

Well, the 18b would have better components and you wouldnt pay for electronics you wont use.

18b it is. I can get the 18b ft and a bat all for 125, but then I still need a $30 servo.

I think I am going to go with the rc18, because I have had it so I know it's great and how to set it up. And it will be a racer also.

I got a t-maxx for it, plus many extras. runs fine too. I upgraded some of the parts including an os 18tm, and it's running fine. It just idles really high, and every time I try and adjust it, it goes down but then the next day comes right back up. the only thing I don't like about it is $30 for a gallon of gas. And my parents think gas is kinda expensive at like $3 a gallon or whatever it is.

Damn you pay $30 for a gallon of gas for your T-Maxx. I have the pay about $130 for a gallon of gas for my Chaos. But I suggest to get the Mini-Baja. You'll have fun with it trusk me.
