Need Opinions on a Brushless RC18Truggy - 10.08.2006, 04:07 AM

Well, I have always liked the RC18T's, and after driving two of my friends' trucks today (one had an 18B, the other had an 18T - which he actually bought the night before), I must say, these little things are fun. I have been thinking and I think I have a good idea, but I want everyone's opinion.

I'll probably start off with the Factory Team Kit and buy some extra stuff like MIP CVD's and things to bolster driveline strength (I'll explain why in a second). I was also planning to mount a Mini Inferno wing on the back to get that proper truggy look.

For the wheels, I was planning on using the Jato 3.3 Anaconda Tires. I would just buy those adapters that allow for the use of touring car wheels, and then pick up two rear sets of the Anacondas, since they use a touring car hex.

Now for the electronics. As a base, I am planning on somehow fitting a Hitec 81MG (or 85 - forgot the specific number) in there. I will run a Spektrum Pro DSM receiver with Telemetry (going to use that as my LVC for my Lipos). I'll be running 3S lipo.

I am planning on running the Dynamite C4 9200kv motor (which is rated up to 12V so it should be ok on 3S). Its a 380 motor so it should have plenty of torque. Does anyone know what the Mamba's are? I though they were 280's. I did some calculations and this think will have 130000+ RPM on 11V and 150000+ on 12.6V (a peaked lipo voltage). Thats unloaded KV but still lol.

I figure this motor on 3S is going to be a little much for a normal Mamba ESC, so I was planning on using a Mamba Max ESC, which is overkill, but I can get them very cheap.

So, what do you guys think? Too much power? Kind of lame? Pointless? Cool?

This just kind of popped into my mind and if I get enough money from selling some junk on ebay, I will go ahead and go through with it. If I dont get enough money, then I will just buy a stock 18T and build up from there. Either way, I want this truck lol.

Any comments welcome.
