Well according to the past they have not released any upgrade kit to transform the RC18T into one of the other models.
However you can do it without a kit providing you know what you need. I just bought all the spares necessary to change my T into the B.
I think I will keep that one and purchase the R for onroad.

Good day!

My guess would be slim to none.

Well, the foams are a different width than the wheels. You could run the standard foams but the offset of the wheels is now different to correctly fit under the body.

My suggestion would be to get the wheels, dremel the ribs off (making 'flat' wheels) and glue foams to those. They'll be the right offset.

I've been wondering the same thing...

Tony, I meant is there going to be wheel offered that will fit the current crop of micro wheels?? Kinda like the xray and hpi have the inner wheel and the foam rim/wheel slides on??

Even if they did, the trackwidth is too wide and the shocks too high to fit under any current sedan body k_bojar.

(Well ok, from my eye measuring.. did I mention I need glasses?)

I guess the rumors I heard several years ago may have been true, a little bird told me the RC1:18 was actually going to be a TC3 Micro and that is why the first shots showed production chassis with Rapid PRoto arma and shock towers to make it off-road I guess they figured now was the time to finally release the first concept.

I think it looks pretty cool and can many a rally race happening on driveways across the states.

Let me clarify something.....this is NOT like the XRay M18 or HPI RS4 Micro. It is based off of our 18T platform....already making it larger that those 2 cars. Fully independent suspension, our same 18T oil filled shocks, same drivetrain, etc. The wheels are the same size as our 18B fronts, the tires, being the same width as the 18B fronts, are a lower profile than any other 18th scale tire we make. You could race against those other 1/18th scale cars, but our is visibly quite a bit bigger.

Just thought I should clarify that.
