Are you talking about the 1/18 mini rave from caster. If so i bought the mini rave a few months back and i want some information on how to programme the esc. Also the brand of motor and esc.

I swapped the stock battery out for a 11.1v 3s li-po, team this up with the 5800kv motor and it flies. I'm going to be drag racing it soon.

PS: I hope i'm not hijaking this thread

I do know that the Caster Mini comes with the high end 25 amp hobbywing system. Here are pics that I have received so far. I forgot about this thread due to being so 1/8 scale oriented....lol.

Here are the specs:

F18 comes with LPR Rims and Tires, just like the 1/8th to increase
the driving performance and stability.

Hobbywing High End Brushless Speed Control (25A.)
Pre-printed Buggy Body and Truggy Body.
1200 NIMH rechargeable battery

1.5 Hex Screws all around.
Racing style downforce wing.
Full Ball bearing

I don't think the dealers have them yet since they just came out. Not entirely sure what the street price will be either.

You can see their dealer list here:

Cannot wait to get mine in to test out! I should be carrying these in stock at www.holeshothobbies.com when they are officially released and available.

[hakmazter]

So did you get yours yet? It should be there today or tomorrow I would think?

the chassis looks like an RC18T with upgraded turnbuckles.

We got them in finally. They had to put additional washers in them to make sure that the issues we saw in the prototype were resolved.

There is no green aluminum now and the wings are the Caster wing.

The way the cart works is there is a discount code you have to use.

They are $150 including the battery, am radio, and the 25 amp hobbywing esc/motor combo. We are very aggressive on the price.

All replacement and upgrade parts are in also, I am just waiting on the pictures to get back.

I ran mine yesterday just messing around during practice before the races and was pleasantly suprised how it went around a off road track. Was actually pretty fast down the straight and could clear some smaller doubles on the track! I actually kept up with a guy in a truggy for a lap LOL! (not a very good driver though) Car took a bunch of hard hits and tumbles and even got landed on twice by some truggies and not a single broken part. So far a very great product. I am still running ALL RTR equipment, including esc, motor, servo and radio.
