Official AE RC18 Thread!

You may have to dremel out some more plastic, otherwise you could run a 60t spur which is quite a bit bigger than 55 (if thats what your running)

By the way if you have spare stock OR aftermarket parts such as the stock motor or anything Ill grab them off you, I have no spares for my rc18t

I haven't looked close to what spur I have in, whatever comes in the FT kit is what is in there.

well I have 4 A arms, shock towers, an aluminum bumper, A motor (to be honest I don't know what it is) and possible a SPY ESC but I might keep that. I don't know if you really want that stuff I might keep it just in case I break something also, I don't think I am going to break RPM stuff though

Hey got my drag link!!!!!!!

[JeromeB]

Hows that drag link working? Mines a dream, but Ive also done the o-ring mod.

Ill buy the motor, a-arms, and esc if you wanna sell those. Any other parts you come along over the weeks you want to get rid of Ill buy em off you. Mainly I need that motor and ESC for now, but spare parts are a treat especialy aftermarket peices you wanna sell to me.

Thanks

Jerome

hey jerome
i got a associated esc spare
how much are you looking to buy one for ????
if racing is on this weekend i can give it to you then

[JeromeB]

Hey Chris,

Im not really after the esc RIGHT NOW, but I do need spares peices or upgrades if you have spare, I want stock peices too. Also if you have brushed motors of any kind for the mini I need them, I have no backups.

Ill be racing this weekend if the weather holds up

[utahrcracer]

I love the drag link, it is still loose some though, anyone using a drag link with aluminum steering upgrades also??

[JeromeB]

Utah just do the o-ring mod, my steering is tight as now.

so you just rap an O ring around the servo saver?

[JeromeB]

Yeah but first dremel a little ridge for it to sit in.

Also it has to be a 1/10 shock o ring

u dont realy need to ridge it, u only ridge it if u put the shock spring on there.....

just a tiny bit of ca at the bottom opposite of the slit should be heaps good

[MikeXray]

Can a mini-t servo saver be adapted to fit? I really hate the stock saver. Plus they make on for the hs-55 which I have, I had to make my own sleeve to use the stock one with this servo.

[chris_mtb]

yer i got a hs 55
havent fitted it yet
the servo saver dont fit
is there anything thats fits it

Hey all as a former 1/10 scale racer all I can say is these 1/18 scale are a BLAST!!!!!! I do have a question are you all discharging your Nimah cells. And if so to what.

Out of all people you would be the one to say this....

I race 1/10 and 1/18 EP, I dont discharge my 1/18 packs although it most likely does extend the life. With my 1/10 packs I never charge a pack unless its been on my equalising tray first to 0.9v
