Great little vehicle for sure. I have both the M18T and the M18T Pro and with the graphite chassis and lightness is is almost too light - but it is sooooo silky smooth and slick looking you almost don't want to run it and beat it up.

I've been beating on my M18T for about a year and a half and I have yet to break anything.

As far as a previous complaint about the ball diffs, I don't really see that as a valid complaint. If you follow the directions in the manual and break them in - the is almost no maintenance. I've never had to rebuild them yet. Adjusting them takes removing a wheel and one screw and them a quick twist of a screwdriver - takes maybe 3 minutes.

Also, xray's build tolerances are so tight that there is no shimming the diffs all the time to get the mesh "just right". The mesh is perfect right at the build.

I've pushed this thing with 3S and a LMT 1015/12 (6667kv) and it hasn't flinched.
