I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to electrics.

@Art91:

you´ve said that the motor stopped working, were you running stock setup?
Having two thing´s burn at the same time is strange.

Turning your esc on, does it have any light on?

ok, kindof thinkin of scrapin my track idea, hard to say what to do with plans..... kindof stinks, cause it is fun to race against my sis, but we are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO opinionated on designs... er, anyone got ideas, like KRO's design, BUT it is what we did on our LAST track, but then again, rocks were a pain in the rear...... soooo hard to decide what to do

Here are some pics of a Bug Body conversion for my 18MT. I found some hardware at home depot and put this together...I like it a lot!!! It's not a good idea to bash or race with this as it will just destroy the body and the mounts, but it looks real nice and if you just want to cruise it works great.

KRO

Good work there werfliss ! I ran a Losi bug body on my RC18 too for a little bit , I liked the fact that when the car rolled the round bug body would help it to roll back onto its wheels alot of the time .

calvino

ok, rain been here, drove truck, did a great job of muddin it up, not much else[8D]

calvino

dude, where did ya get the bug shell, looks nice, eh, took it bashin at a BMX park, TONS OF FUN, HUGE JUMPS... my kinda bashin

str8.krooked

The bug shell is for a Losi Mini Baja. I bought it from my LHS and trimmed and painted it. I had to make some body posts, but it came out pretty clean. I'm going to get another one too. One for racing and one for lookin pretty![sm=thumbup.gif]

calvino

definately looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! prob rolls over easier, ya, not much new with 18T, friend got the 18MT, hands the xmitter to her sis since she flipped, and her sis dries it WOT (new motor, new pack... FAST) into a curb, and I guess she broke the servo saver, heck, it was doin it's job

ok, got tons of PVC for my RC track in the making, leme say, it is a ton of work to flaten out the soil for these trucks[>:], thankfuly we got a riding lawn mower to make that part a little easier, other than that, it is sheer work to scoop the soil where it needs to go.....

calvino

oooooook, trackie done

rc-junky007

nice

calvino

thanks, tons of fun, try and get vid up tomorrow night, sadly it only has 1 "true jump" , I do have that optinal one

calvino

ok, moded jump some, plan on orderin a few more things for my truck (like I dont have enough stuff and $$$$ in it), er, anyone got ideas, I kinda race/bash, got tires, shocks, considering bless but dunno, the price... prob goin to get a SP19T and a 7 cell pack[8D], sound good or bad, kinda askin bout pwr system for sis, er, if I did get bless, is the Novac Mongoose Micro any good?? sensored bless system[8D]

kryznic

can you run a 7 cell pack on this chasis without any modifications? I was looking at getting my pop this truck for his bday and cheapbatterypack.com has a nice 7 cell. Their sites says it fits but the only pic I can find with a battery in it at TA's site doesnt look promising. Thanks

rc-junky007

if the configuration is this ===| then no

kryznic

ok then I guess this is OK? I just dont want to blow 40 bux on a battery and cant use it.

looks like the config is || || || || || || ||

calvino

is he runnin the gear cover, if so then he can't, you will either need to move one cell on top orrrrrrr get a "hump pack" style battery with one of the cells ontop of the others[8D], made up a jump for my 18T wow this is fun, took it out, sis got some awesome shots of it in flight (backlit, WOW) and I took it out on the street, jumped some, wiped out a big, almost got it run over by a neighbor (he was cool about it[8D]), and broke a front tower (wasn't runnin da shell, had some nice cartwheels....) should get some pics up[8D], er, how do you guys get the truck to do flips....[>:], tried with stock mtr runnin 14/60 tried 10/60 nothin, what does it take??

calvino

on a whim, is the GPM carbon fiber chasis any good, prob not goin to get it but just currious[8D] DROOOOOOL http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_...at_name=RC18B#

KRO

The GPM chassis is pretty crappy , the front end will eventually loosen up and the holes where it mounts too the carbon fiber elongate , save your money and go brushless !
