So who owns a 1/18 scale?

[BALISTC]

Anyone?? I hope I'm not the only one left ;)

[James]

ME.

[azzachaz]

I've still got my Mini-R. I love it :)

[remotebandit]

yep , im definately a mini r man but dont care to race , i have more fun bumming up and down the st chasing cars .

[mik068]

i've got a mini t maba etc the usual bling and an rc18t and mates with another three whom would be interested in a bash/race day

[Vampyre]

I am looking at getting a mini-t soon.Does that count?

I've got one, best thing since sliced bread. Can almost put it in your pocket and use anywhere you like. An R/C you can't help but have fun with, easpecially with the Mamba 6800 in it. Anyone that takes R/C racing way too seriously should be forced to have a brushless mini-t. You just can't take it seriously, and it brings the biggest smile to everyones face when they see it go.

[ned]

i have one...but its up for sale. they are fun but the novelty wares off.

[BALISTC]

Good to see heaps of people still own them!

When the weather gets nice, our bash day will happen.

Mik, remember when I spoke to you about your bashing spot?? Keen to have a big Team Adrenaline bash day out there? ;)

[mik068]

joe its in a mates backyard not real big but we have another spot in bayswater near the river nice open sand area

[BALISTC]

Too easy ;)

is it good for 1/18 bashing?

[mik068]

yeah plenty of yellow sand add shovel and imagination

[Beev 30]

Mini infrno brushless and rc18t brushless..both need a good run for Inferno never has even been tested with brushless......

[Jai]

i have one and with nice new mods.....
i wouldnt swap it for anything

[JD]

even for a million dollars?

[Matt]

Rumour is that James has now sold his Mini T ...

[Dlux]

I don't think I can sell mine for a long while. The money put into it you can't even get near 50% of it. Might as well just keep it. I'm sure couple years time, I'll go into my room and find it after storing it away for a while, charge the batteries up and watch the brushless rip. BIG GRIN!! Though may only last a few minutes, it's a good "out the front your house" fun

[Jai]

hrmmm..... million dollars...
might be tempted but prolly not... HAHA
but after the money i just put into it....

and james decided not to sell it? didnt he?
especially after the 'custom' chassis mods... !lmao

[Matt]

heh, a dickie bird told me that its sold. you'll need to confirm with him of course, "i know nuttin'"

[jim007]

Still got my mini t.
would never sell it!

The look on everyones faces at the local track is priceless as the T rips it up.

[Shorty40]

heh, a dickie bird told me that its sold. you'll need to confirm with him of course, "i know nuttin'"

I work with the guy that bought it.

Its a weapon 8)

[anson]

Yup still have my minis. Brushless RC18FT, MQ roller, and VMG roller. Might have to do something with those rollers. Get myself a mini army.

Still haven't got around to having a proper race on the track me and my friends built a few months back. Damnit.

[Shorty40]

I have a Mini-T with a few hop ups:
Venom Fireball motor
Bearing kit
CVDs
Oil shocks

And I now have an RC18T with the lot:
8000kv brushless and mamba esc
plenty of alloy and bling
Heaps of rims and tyres
(it was KingBobs old ride) 8)

After having a couple of clod rock crawlers (still have my TTS-XC Clod) it is sooo different running 1/18ths :p

[BALISTC]

Ahh KingBobs old ride....I was 'this' close to buying it, sorta glad you did so I didnt have to fork out for something I didnt need (but it was oh so tempting at the time!!!!)

[Shorty40]

Glad you thought the better of it :D As soon as I saw it, there was no question it would have to be mine 8)

And the fact it came with enough spares to start a hobby shop was a bonus !lol

[ned]

hay anson, you wanna get rid of that dead weight MQ roller?

[Jai]

so are you going to get a TLT joe?

come on you kow you want to

[Vampyre]

Hey guys I am now the proud owner of a Mini-T.I have put a bearing kit in it and a 6 cell battery pack.Hopefully getting new oilshocks and a Beast Raptor v2 motor soon.


Vamp

[BALISTC]

come on you kow you want to


Mmmmmmm, I dunno yet...I'll see how these Mini LSTs pan out..

What aftermarket chassis' are available for TLTs??

[James]

a few. the Tamiya carbon fibre chassis, or the Penguin P2300 chassis (carbon fibre) which is the one i want :) Penguin lowers the centre of gravity with different mounting options and is light weight.

tamiya is nearmost the same as the original chassis but WAY lighter :)

[Jai]

its nothing like the original chassis

[davetripoli]

I still have my Mini T, never use it anymore. It needs a new servo and I'm too lazy to go get one. I also have an anderson MR4 which is an awesome drifter. I would love to get a mamba for the mini t but I can't justify the expence with my limited use, of course if I found one second hand going cheap I wouldn't say no.

[Jai]

why not turn the mini t into a mini drifter?

[Alex]

Project 1 - Decepticon "unnamed" F-150 Mini-T Full Alloy (ongoing project)
Project 2 - Autobot New Jazz Porche Micro RS-4 (Stock for now cept for 6 cell AA's)

Pictures coming soon!

[Alex]

Ok Ok, found an old pic of the T in project status...the option parts have grown a bit since then !devil

The RS4 is shell-less at the mo, still waiting for electrics!

[BALISTC]

How hot does that shell look!!!

[Alex]

hehe, thanks B. To tell the truth, its only my second shell since i got into the RC biz.. but hoping to get better and fancier with the designs...but then, my other side says Keep it simple stoopid! hehehe

[Jai]

joe i heard that you bought james's rock crawler?

[BALISTC]

YEP!

Already lined up some Maxx shocks for it, and its getting a chopped up 1/10 truck body pretty soon too ;)
