TEAM ASSOCIATED RC18T "Mini/Micro"
TEAM ASSOCIATED RC18T
RC18T series | 1:18 scale | electric powered | 4WD truck Team Associated is proud to announce the RC18T Ready-to-Run, their first “mini” sized, 1:18 scale vehicle. The 18T is not your typical “toy-class” small truck… it was designed from the ground up by Team Associated’s award-winning team of engineers for competition-level performance and rugged durability far beyond the competition. The 18T’s racing heritage is apparent in many features of the truck, including its efficient shaft-drive, 4WD powertrain featuring adjustable ball differentials front and rear. The 18T is powered by an inline-mounted “Super 280” high-performance motor, bolted to an aluminum motor mount with several mounting holes to fit most any aftermarket 1:18 scale hop-up motor. A high-capacity 1100mah nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack is included with the 18T, as well as a convenient charger. The 18T comes standard with a 55 tooth spur gear and a metal 12 tooth pinion with set screw. However, the truck will accommodate larger spur gears (up to 60 teeth) by changing the small gear cover on the underside of the chassis. All the Team Associated “XP” series electronics in the 18T are completely modular, allowing independent replacement of the receiver, steering servo, and the new “XPS” micro speed control with reverse, which provides smooth throttle control and will handle most aftermarket hop-up motors. In the suspension department, the 18T distinguishes itself from the pack with real oil-filled shocks for smooth, consistent damping. Each of the four lower suspension arms are identical and interchangeable, front to back and right to left. Molded upper suspension links ensure that the 18T’s suspension is correctly set from the start. However, steel or titanium turnbuckle kits will be offered for those racers wanting more adjustability. The 18T also features four high-traction “Mini-Pin” racing compound tires with foam inserts mounted on racing-style dish wheels. Of course, the 18T will be supported by a full line of Associated’s “Factory Team” performance parts and accessories, including machined aluminum suspension arms, shock towers, and shock bodies. In addition, Reedy will soon be offering more powerful motors and batteries to fit the 18T and other Mini-sized vehicles. If you’re looking for the next big thing in small trucks, you’ve found it…Team Associated’s RC18T! WOW....Iam getting one of these babies........... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :flaming: :flaming: :flaming: :flaming: |
So they'll take the time to make a 4wd 18th mini truck, which doesn't fit into any existing racing class, thus making it a niche' market right out of the box......
... ... but they won't make a 4wd electric buggy, which we have been asking for/begging for years?!?!:confused: :confused: :confused: :cry: |
There is already a thread on this in the offroad section. :nod:
|
At a lot of tracks there is just a generic 1:18th scale class and there are several cars of all types in it. This isn't the first 1:18th truck either.
|
there might not have a 4wd buggy as yet but you don't know what they have going on in the R&D department;)
for all we know, this could just be a taster for what they have planned for the future...:lol: :p i think its gonna be pricey..more expensive than the mini-t..but imo will be much more fun:lol: 4wd mamba powered fun:lol: |
