I can already picture the 1/18th racing.. haha, it's going to be hillarious. i wonder if we can drum up some 1/18th monster trucks/crawlers, now that would be a laugh!

[Alex]

MLST is a monster truck.. so is the Associated RC18MT !!!

[James]

[Alex]

[James]

I have so far gotten word from the folling people that they will be running 1/18th:

Me: XRAY M18T (standard motor)
Alex: Project Full ALLOY Mini-T (brushless)
Todd: Associated RC18 (brushless)
George: XRAY M18MT (brushless)
Michael: XRAY M18MT (brushless)
Jamie (husky): Losi Mini-T (brushless)
(maybe) Jamie Collis: Losi Mini-T (brushless?)

gee look at that, I'm the only non-brushless! Just hope my kit arrives this week!

So thats SEVEN already that have mentioned running on Sunday, no doubt there are more (that I haven't spoken to)

should be good for a laugh! Who will clear the carine tripples with their 1/18th? hehehe

[RCBash]

Good luck James :P Looks like you might need it mate.

[Alex]

well, ill put the super 280 motor back into my Mini-T FA so just to make u feel part of the group James...but the Mini-T being Full Alloy, I dont think a stock motor will have enough punch to move it! ROFL !lol

REMINDER: THIS IS NEXT SUNDAY PPL!!!!! GET YOUR MINI GUNNERS READY!!!!

[sirdriftalot]

James, what made you decide on the M18T, rather than the M18MT??
[i am looking to purchase one of em....any hints?]

[Alex]

Sirdrift, order the new 1/16 TAMIYA Frog RIGHT NOW from RCMART, have it EMS'ed shipped to your door I reckon you will get it Friday, and grace us with your presence for the BombShell! !silly

[James]

driftalot....

the M18T is a 'stadium truck'.. more for racing. the MT is a 'monster truck' more for bashing.

having said that, both kits can be converted to the other... I think the MT is more easily converted down to the regular 'T'.. by removing one set of shocks and changing the wheels/tyres. etc...

[sirdriftalot]

cheers for the info guys.
gosh i must stop spending, rang dave at ryper and he said
he's getting some xray minis in this week.....he did mention tho' that he thought the Duratrax MQ was a better unit.[?] i wouldn't trust it for B/L.
BUT FAROUT, i want one of those frogs.

[James]

EMS tracking says my new M18T left asia yesterday... should be here tommorow/thurs.. w00t! looking forward to building it up (arent new kit's fun?!) so I'll be a go for 1/18th this weekend at the bombshell classic after all! :)
