Default New to Minis

Hi guys, i am new to this forum and electric rc. I have been in nitro monster trucks for several years and i recently traded one of my t-maxxes for an RC18R. This thing is sweet!!! One of the workers at my LHS just got done building it and decided he wanted something to bash with. It is practically new. Here is what i was told was on it.

Mamba 8000kV brushless system
Upgraded Diffs
Aluminum steering arms
Upgraded shocks (He told me what they were but i forgot)

I am running a 1550mah lipo. Let me know what you all think.

As a result of you having about twice the motor it needs (one you've got is pretty much only good for parking lot speed runs).

Nice ride. Those look like 3 racing shocks. Also looks like a HS65 servo? Maybe?

About 1/2 of the full retail of all the assembled bits and pieces.

apparently it was worth 1 t-maxx.


great now I sound like a D***.

although you gotta admit, now you can have fun without getting noise complaints from your neighbors at 3am when you are drunk infront of your house running rc cars.

And there ya go.
I don't sell any of mine, or buy anything used.
And when people ask what they cost or what they're worth I can honestly tell the full retail without blinking an eye. [sm=lol.gif]
