RE: Team Associated RC18B Pro Kit or Duratrax Vendetta?
You need to give more info for a good answer to your first question. Budget, where you plan to run, what are your priorities, etc...
RC18t:
- The RC18T has better parts support, aftermarket options, and its easier to find motors, tires, wheels, etc. It can be made into an awesome race platform, but its expensive to do so. Steering is the major downside of this truck.
- You will need a servo, radio system, esc, motor, and battery to finish off the rc18t factory team.
- The rc18t uses micro servos. you can not use a mini servo. its too big.
- Battery: ~ 101mm x 34mm x 17mm
Vendetta Buggy:
- The Detta is one of the top race platforms, and is very competitive with very few hop-ups. Its as durable as the rc18t, but parts support and aftermarket pale in comparison. Motors choices are limited as well since the detta uses a 48 metric pitch and 2.3mm shaft motors vs the standard 2mm shaft on most micro motors. One of the best off-road racers and bashers available today.
- Uses a standard 1/10th servo
- Battery size: ~ 86mm x 34mm x 17mm
