Whats the best brushless system to put in the rc18t?

I want a system like the aon 4900 and nothing bigger than the mamab 6000.

But what about the tekin systems?

I want something with no cogging or anything, I need it to feel as smooth to brushed as possible and not incredibly crazy.

Thanks

Jerome

Utah, you would need two of the MIP super diff packages. One set for each diff.

I just bought an delrin steering drag link by Driven Productions, I should be getting it in the mail in the next day or two. Has anyone used one of these? and how much did it help with the loose steering problem?

Just replacing the linkage with the DP piece will be a HUGE improvement After that there are a few things to do with the stock servo saver that helps also. I ground a shallow groove around ours and put an o-ring to tighten things up too. Another racer used a piece of spring instead of o-ring. You may have to remove some material from the frame under the servo saver if the o-ring doesn't clear.
