So i figured id make one. So if you have a rc18 post all your questions pictures and anything else related to them HERE!! Well i just got mine today, really fun and durable, i plan on getting a gear cover and hopefully metal rear diff gears. Hera are some pics.

As of now the only 2 upgrades I have on the truck are a gear cover, (I swear, you NEED one), and a metal diff gear (good for when the plastic "dies").

WOW all of that and only 70 bux. Where does the rc18b wingmounts mount on the car? I looked at the wing mounts and they look to only have one hole for the screw to go through, and im looking at my car (18MT) and it has two screws where i think the wing mounts. thanx

Also i just realized my friends on/off switchquit turning on, even if you would turn the switch to the "on" positionit wuld not work, the only way he could get it to work was to shove it "on". And it would not stay on, well my switch seems like it is doing that, cause i turn it on and it turns off when i hit a big bump. What is wrong with it? A friend said it might just be dirt in the switch. but i dont know what it is....

RE: OFFICIAL RC18MT/B/T THREAD
I have 2 questions, I am planning on ordering some more stuff for my truck , BUT am in a delema over 2 items, I can't decide wether to go steel or titanium on the turnbuckles, I am kindof a 'racer/basher' so I was looking at steel, BUT they don't come with the tool to adjust them with[] (and titanium costs more), and I was currious about what steering "mod" to get, either a DP Draglink or a [link=http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_details.lasso?id=6553&cat_name=RC18T#]blue steering assembly[/link]
[link=http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_details.lasso?id=6420&cat_name=RC18T#]turnbuckles, titanium[/link]
[link=http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_details.lasso?id=8087&cat_name='#]DP draglink[/link]
thanks alot, calvino[8D]

well you have the stock motor right? They are only 10 bucks and spurs aren't that much so just buy new stuff
ORIGINAL: calvino
yeah, but my friend told me to stay clear of hot racing, and GPM (well, their metal diff gears are good). I don't konw what i am going to do now, I was cleaning my truck off, and I SWEAR, last night, my motor's shaft was on, I wake up this morning, didn't run the truck.... (needs a new spur, old one has no teeth left), and the shaft is BROKEN, I swear, I don't konw what I am going to do, assocated was nice enough to give me 3 new motors for praticaly free , but, with this one snapping, I don't konw WHAT i will do, I mean, I am about ready to throw the truck in a box, and spend my christmas money.... on a larger RC with LARGER motor shafts, can someone help me somehow before I go bazerk and smash it to a bazillion bits......, yeah, I am running a gear cover[][][][][][][][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=angry.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=sad_smile.gif][sm=sad_smile.gif][sm=sad_smile.gif][sm=sad_smile.gif][sm=sad_smile.gif][sm=tired.gif][sm=tired.gif][sm=tired.gif]

calvino , I cant belive your'e breaking these shafts like this ! [X(]
You must be setting the gear mesh too tight , either that or your propeller shaft is bent near the spur gear . Maybe the motor mount is bent ?
The DP drag link is the way too go , its really the only hop up that helps the RC18's sloppy steering .

These are JUNK ! The 3 Racing ones are OK , never tried the GPM's . I have the Lunsford set on it now and I think they are worth every penny .

then hold like a small allenwrench... on the SET button
keep holding it on there until BOTH lights flash at the same time
then leave the xmitter on NEUTRAL (don't touch it at all), press SET, the light (LED) is
now GREEN
pull the tx back to full "forwards" and press the button, the light wil turn RED
then push the xmitter to full "brake" and press the SET button, the lights should flash simultaneously 3x, the ESC is programed
if you think, oh no, I messed up, UNPLUG the power for over 10 seconds, and try again.
hope that helps
