RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

does anyone know if 3s lipos are allowed to race with? if not what are some good race packs for stock class?

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

great packs for STOCK class is the

ELITE 1500 pakcs ...found on ebay .... or go to cheapbatterypacks.com

3s is allowed if hobby shop allows it diff shops have diff rules

Going to have to take some pics of mine after I get my new body painted.

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

Ill take pics of my stocker lol. I banged up the body pretty bad and i cut the wheel cuts larger because they were rubbing on the tire.

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

That's ok, atleast your wife didnt take out a bicyclist with her rc18r... some good skuffs on the subby lid. But it looked like the blue turtle shell from mario kart taking out first place lol

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

well, my pics are semi outdated but meh. Both are powered by Losi Xcelerin 9400kv Motors and ESC's. The one with the 3Racing Chassis used to be a T!

Still havent gotten around to getting 2 lipos nore i have i bothered to get some Hitec servos. Eventually i will, probley when the LST2 gets boring haha. Why mess with it if it aint broke i guess lol.

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

Wow those are nice. for running such powerful motors you keeps those clean. I ran mine twice and its... dirty. Just the street dirtied up my windows.

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

i use a 500 gallon 200psi air compresser after every run to clean them off aswell as simple green haha! but they do have there body scuffs and scraps from high speed rollovers. I borrowed my cousin's T-rex's 3 cell lipo and my god.....the thing was almost impossible to drive. with that battery, its balloned the tires x_x

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

Heres my stocker niteline. I cut the rear tire cuts larger on the body.

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

I have a few questions. Are any of these good?
rs300
rs310
jr xs3
jr xs3 pro

I want to get a rs310 and a xs3 pro but I dont know. Is it worth the money?

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

this is about steering servos right?

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

just currious what's the average price to convert an 18T to an 18R, i am considering doing it to use my sidewinder 6800 more..... [8D]

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

no .. i think its about umm transmitter and receiver ....

there is no need to upgrade unless you are having glitching problems, bad distance/range, or the old one broke ...

all JR and Specktrum stuff are good and have good rep...

if you are racing it would be worth it ... you do not need ALL THOSE memory functions...and stuff ...

IMO for your car its not worth the money ... since you arent racing or having problems with your stock one .

are you haveing problem with the stock radio ?

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

i did what your talking about..it cost about 120 bucks for everything(body and tires are 35..) so about 80-90 bucks for converting.

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

damn....

just go pick up a roller off EBAYY!

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

Well Im not sure but i think if I upgrade electronics, it will stop the steering problem i have. My car turns like the servo trim is ajusted wrong and when I correct it and make it straight it eventually does the same thing again. Im also going to put a mamba 8000 in it and theres a big strip i want use by my house. I dont want my car straying away from the path if im not turning the car.

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

i just deal with it :) are you using a 6cell or 2s/3s?

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

stock everything

RE: OFFICAL RC18R THREAD
 

well the 8000 will get getting pretty hot if your just driving it around..i'd suggest the 6800 if you want mamba...but if your racing and you have to be ROAR approved id go with the novak mongoose 13.5 or 10.5 turn
