Official Xray M18T Thread - Page 5

hi, i run on a 18mx7.5m made of 12mm thick 600mmx600mm EVA foam tiles. Just about any tire works on this surface so I've stuck to the kit rubber for now. Running a Mamba 6800kv.

On this surface, and Im guessing carpet is similar, a stiffer front end is useful to settle down the darting feeling of 18th scale cars. I found the cars to be more stable and I can drive them harder.
Cheers

thanks,dan

Ive used the Mc Allister bodies on mine. I've also used the AE 18t body on mine. Here are a few pics with the Mc Allister bodies. The stock car body really helps sheild the front end in crashes

sweet!!!! nice, that would be a great body for some oval racing

could you tell me where to purchase one of those Mc Allister bodies? also did you have to do anything to the rc18t body to make it fit?

heres their link

I had to alter the body posts. Thats why they are different on my xray. You can see them in the pics. I had to use normal body posts and then drill them out so they would slide over the posts already on the truck.

thanks

can anyone tell me if there are any threaded shocks the will work on this truck?

I was thinking maybe the AE rc18t factory team ones might work

Mini_Me · 08-14-2007, 02:53 AM

They are too short (AE). If you don't like the Xray ones, 3 racing makes some with threads.

The Xray aluminum shocks are by far the best I've seen on a 18th scale. They are super smooth. I've heard of the 3r shocks denting and bending.

thanks guys
