toughest 1/18

Man I couldn't imagine a 28mm motor on a M18t pro. I guess that could be a good platform for top speed competitions. You could probably overgear it pretty bad and still keep the temps down just because it weighs nothing.... Hmmmm I have a neu 1105 2.5y coming Lets see:
Differential Ratio: 2.5
Transmission Ratio: 1
Other Ratio: 1
Spur Tooth Count: 54
Pinion Tooth Count: 20
Total Voltage: 11.1
Motor KV: 4000
Tire Diameter (inches): 2.75
Tire Ballooning (inches): 0
Motor Current Draw: 0
Motor coil Ω: 0
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 2.7 : 1
Total Ratio: 6.75 : 1
Tire Circumference (inches): 8.64 inches (219.44 mm)
Total Motor Speed: 44400 RPM
Vehicle Speed: 53.81 mph (86.44 km/h)

Lol this is the part I don't like about forums... now I want to buy everything lol.

So basically the choice now is the rc18t FT kit (with big wheels for any monster action) or one of the xray kits. I already have a BL system for it (a very old school mamba 25 with a nice heatsink on it, cant even get it warm on 3s in the mlst lol...)... I've played with dtx a lot in the past and not sure I want to go back to them, other than that they also sound like a viable choice. I dont really like 8 shock setups much, really doesnt seem necessary on any car, especially a mini. Id prefer something thats designed to perform well and be durable, not just to look like an 8th scale :) So I am leaning toward the rc18t...

I nearly bought a mini inferno a few days ago, lol glad I didnt now.

Also I cant find the xtm rage anywhere, ill have to look harder. I like to stick to amain or tower cuz they have awesome international shipping, especially tower since they have killer discount codes too :)
