The newest (used) mini truck, see Gallery.

Pretty cool. =)

Ok I don't see anything?

Looks good.

nice and clean looking

looking good!

Nice job.

sd16, thanks for linking that in there. I STILL don't understand the way to do that.

We have 2 more shells to paint for this little bugger (Stormer Hobbies has 'em for $2 each if you need 'em!) so we're gonna keep getting fancier as we go. It's tough working fine curves with tape inside a shell this small.

You can't go wrong with orange and blue in Chicago, Illinois! Go Bears, Go ILLINI!

We ran this dude outside yesterday and found it's slow. Indoors it's ok, but we're gonna need a motor for it. Who's upgraded their 18T or Mini with the next step motor upgrade? We're not gonna dump real money on anything fancy, we just want it to go faster than to kids running after it. Then better batt's for more run time than AA's.

So far it's a fun little truck. Ball bearings from eBay are on the way and shopping for oil shocks.

If you use liqiud mask you're not limited to any radius the tape will make. Just a steady hand, light pressure and a sharp x-acto blade.

Yep, we will be using that next try. Our next design is too tough to tape.

If I were you, and didnt want to get a mamba, Id get a 6cell pack first, it doubles the stock motor speed IMO

I hooked up the 6C you included. It does perk it up. I'm thinking a stronger motor will let me gear it a little taller, as well.

Ya a better motor will help, but I have only used stock, and a mamba 6800, pretty much like putting a .30 in a jato.
LOL

I see your point, but I don't need an 18th that does 55mph. I just want 20ish and good jump out of the turns.

Body looks good!!!! Clean looking.
I have a totally stock rc18t. Its plenty fast. Its fun!
