did you already get it or are those the pics he sent you?
New Ride - rocco79 - 01-08-2006
Excellent trade!!! I have a rc18t and its a blast
New Ride - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-08-2006
You did a lot better than the trade you offered me involving the RS4!! That's a good looking little truck setup. I wonder....can I trade one of our rs4's off.......hmmmmm? Where did you hookup that deal?
New Ride - t to the maxx2 - 01-08-2006
Rc18t's are fun. I have one right now, but it is waiting on a few diff gears. Should be here tomarrow. Damn mamba 8000....
New Ride - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-08-2006
They look fun with the 4wd and all. Way more power to the ground than the Mini T... I really admire the build that Six did on his, but he really invested some coin, too!
So the Mamba is tough on gears..is there a solution for that with stronger parts, or is it just something you have to deal with, like spur gears on a P5 Revo?
New Ride - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-08-2006
do they make a balldiff?
New Ride - destroy_my_revo_15 - 01-08-2006

matt, if john decides not take the other one, it looks like it is in peices, if he doesnt take it what would i need to get it running?
New Ride - Ponch - 01-08-2006
Dave, I got the trade off of savage-central.com .....Great guy on there....Lives in MI.
And yeah, those are the pics he sent me. We're shipping tommrow.
New Ride - Ponch - 01-08-2006
I think he said it needed turnbuckles and tires but I don't remember....
New Ride - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-08-2006
ok, if thats all that would be no problem at all, the ESC and reciver are different on that right?
500th Post!
New Ride - SixVi6-Camaro - 01-08-2006
Man thats one good deal there for that 18MT with all that extra stuff.
Traxxas26 Wrote:do they make a balldiff?
All the RC18t's have ball diffs front and rear. FT version has the carbide diff balls and Aluminum outdrive rings though. the Problem is not the Diffs though, Its the gears. There is a company that is going to make upgrade gears with an Aluminum pinion and delrin ring gear that should be alot better but I also think part of the problem is the soft plastic gear cases of the 18t deflecting with all the torque from the BL and opening up the mesh. I shimmed my diffs so the ring gear is tight on the pinion to help make them last longer. I may try out a couple lower aluminum diff cases and run stock diff gears to see if the gears last any longer.
Here is the link to the upgrade gear pre-order. hehe.. I'll let yall know how they are when I get them.

cool, Six do u know if an orion big block would fit in there? i hope destroy my revo doesnt take the other one. lol
New Ride - SixVi6-Camaro - 01-08-2006
Yeah the Orion Big block will fit fine. the RC18 series has a motor mount with several mounting holes for all different sized motors and plenty of space to mount it.
New Ride - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-08-2006
sweet, i hope i get the other one lol
New Ride - Ponch - 01-09-2006
Kyle you prolly won't...John was like all over it lol.....And he has the cash right now heh....Thanks for trading receivers w/ me yesterday BTW.
New Ride - destroy_my_revo_15 - 01-09-2006
yea im still undecided about that
New Ride - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-09-2006
no problem with the reciver, lol, i hope i get it. i gotta go get a new battery pack for my minit if dont get that. or maybe ill keep the mini t if i get that one too. lol
New Ride - Ponch - 01-11-2006

New Ride - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-11-2006
