The ST is a cool little truck, but it needs an additional $60-70 in upgrades to handle brushless motors. There are a decent amount of hop-ups available, but no where near what the rc18t has. If you plan to do a lot of upgrading, get the ST. Its probably the most capable mini after upgrades. If you want to stick with a stock truck, I'd suggest the m18mt rtr.
