Mesh looks a little off there...

Did you try it with the 60T spur gear? Might help that last little bit...

But you're probably going to have problems going in a straight line when you stab the throttle

Yeah metal diffs would be perfect... the fact that they make em for the RC18 makes the rc18 perfect for a 540 mod...

Ugh I took my 540 RC18R to a local hobby store that has a track here in arizona.. speedsportsusa.net (check em out if your ever in AZ great place).. Ok so at the tracks... Lets say it things did not go as planned..

some reason my steering was pulling a little left.. even tried to adjust the trim.. did not find out till later that the body was hitting the front tires messing with the steering... but be cause the steering was bad (or maybe just my bad driving) I slammed into my camera that I put on the ground while trying to take some video..... And to make things worst.. she was not going as fast as she should have been thats when I noticed my lipo ballooned What a pain... What run time I did have I kept flipping her over ...I got myself some foam tires from the toyz .. for grip... They have carpet at the track... So I need some $$ to get a new lipo and I'm thinking of putting the rc18t arms on her to make her wider or maybe getting the rc18 wide track conversion kit..

Does anyone know if the RC18t arms will fit the RC18R?
