Ok, I have owned every mini except the xray vehicles. The Vendetta st is a nice truck, stay away from the vendetta buggy, not as good. My personal favorite is the mini quake, has stronger diffs, etc than the other minis. The 18t is most likely the best cause it is simple, however the steering sucks at higher speeds. You will need a metal servo saver spring/collar for the 18t. Other than the mip cvds and super diffs that will be all the 18t needs to survive brushless. rpm arms and towers would be a good idea too. My preference for the mini quake is cause I have run 28mm l can brushless motors and ridiculous gearing in the quake and it is still on the same spur and diffs! The only thing that breaks are the stock hubs, you need to upgrade to al hubs.
