toughest 1/18

[dadgummit]

I also have the M18t pro with a mild brushless system and it is one of the most precise rc's I have ever used. I bash it on pavement and indoors and have yet to break anything at all. I have no hop-ups except for a Castle 1/18 ESC, an AON motor and wheels + tires from X-ray's M18MT. It fits Thunderpower 2100 mah lipo's with no modification so it has crazy long run time.

The only downside with the M18T Pro is the exposed spur+ pinion which is why I am planning on building an Anderson MB4t which is exactly the same as the Vendetta ST but in kit form. I like building these almost as much as driving them. I already have a Neu 1105 on the way and am torn between using a Mamba micro pro (Which I hear is nothing more than a 1/18 sidewinder in a plastic case-w-heatsink and the 1/10 scale sidewinder. they are almost the same price and the 1/10 scale SW handles like 60 or 70 amps instead of 35.

Also in my opinion I would stay away from the mini lst series (2, baja, raminator, etc). It is too heavy and complicated to be reliable. it is nothing but a money pit that is down as much as it is up. And as heavy as it is it can only accept a 24mm motor which are barely big enough to efficently move that beast.
