Am I the only one who spent a lot of money on his 18s?
I'm thinking about everynow now I've bought and learned from and upgraded and am realising that its a nice penny, I could have converted one of my bigger scales to a sick brushless
but I tell myself its worth it, I decided to buy a few more parts and using what I have to just build another one so shortly I'll have two
I see some of you'se with a nice penny into it too so I know I'm probably not the only one
what 18 are you running? I havent put more than $20 into my 18r...ive spent more on my vendetta than its worth..but both are now very durable...its a hobby and its worth it...

i have an 18t with a brushless lipo, I've got a _lot_ into it
I have put a ton of upgrades into my son's mini lst,Mamba brushless,viscous diffs,cvs,Exotek single servo conversion,tires and rims,aluminum arms,diff cases,tranny case and so on,its the best money I could have spent,the truck is basically bullet proof and he loves to bash with it.Its worth every penny.
I have a bunch wraped up in my 18R. Between $700 and $800 before it turned a wheel. That was full Exotek, CVT's, mip diffs, brushless, 2.4ghz, lipo, PT, digital servo, foam tires. Not a whole lot cheaper than my 1/8 scale and way more than a 1/12th scale since you have to replace almost all the parts that originally come with the kit. Would be better to have a good kit come out from the factory instead of the junk stuff that all gets replaced.

I agree, my second 18 I just built from parts, no kit. Most of the things were getting replaced anyway
