RE: what mini, I was thinking about the Associated RC18T Truck RTR Kit
I have a RC18B and I really like it. There is just so much aftermarket support for the RC18 series.
There are other great options out there and every once in a while I think what if... But I never regret buying the RC18. I can get replacement parts at any local shop and it has been a very quick, tough car. I haven't had any problems with it so far.
What will be the primary purpose of the truck? Will you race it?
