RC18R Upgrade priority.
Ive recently bought my first 1/18, the RC18R. Im new also to electrics, have owned nitros and a baja 5b.
I was just wondering what some of you felt would be practical upgrades for this little rally car. I realy like it,its my first onroad car also so needless to say Im getting used to how it handles. Im sure compared to a hopped up version its not dialed right out of the box but it sure handles better tahn anything Ive ever driven hence Im still getting the feel for navigating at high speeds. I cant even imaging what it would be like trying to navigate a technical course with a brushless system installed![8D]

RE: RC18R Upgrade priority.
Another battery pack and a better charger (I have this one http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/13174 ). It would also be a good idea to change up your electrical connections with these http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/3592 you will need 2 packs to do your charger, 2 battery packs and then the connection to your car. The stock connectors began shorting out on me (I have the 18T) within a couple weeks...cheap fix.

You will need this steering link , one of the best hop ups for the RC18 series IMO . It helps greatly with the play in the steering .
