Heard that, I went all out on the MLST also, probably dumped $600+ on it. IMO my RC18R has been way funner and takes less upgrades, also if you're wanting to put a nice brushless system in the rc18t, just get the MIP Super Diffs and the CVD's, remember to properly shim them and thats all, mine has a mamba 25 ESC with a CC 8000KV motor in it and the drivetrain is holding up without any problems, and believe me, I drive mine really hard. The only thing you've got to remember is that when you rebuild the diffs either MIP or stock it will take probably 2 runs for them to break in, after the 2nd run take it inside and tighten both diffs a lil' and you're good to go, check'em every once in a while though just for good measure. I haven't driven a vandetta or an m18t but so far this little truck has been a blast to drive and is super easy to work on, upgrade the steering servo also, its only 30 bucks or do. Hope this helps.
