the clicking might mean that something is broken in there.

Nah it was a pebble, I fixed it. I just ordered the Driven Pro spur gear cover.

Do you have a link for the spur gear cover? I'm getting an 18T soon and that sounds like a good investment.

Any other quick ideas on bulletproofing one of these? How are the shocks, they leak alot or pretty good?

I am off to start reading the thread. Not sure which year to start, 06, 07, or 08. lol Should be alot of good stuff.

The 18t is a very good investment, and are pretty much bulletproof unless you throw in a brushless in which you will want to upgrade the drivetrain.

Cool. I don't plan on doing much to it. Probably won't do much more than throw a lipo in it. I've read about the gear cover before and it seemed like a good idea. Thanks for the link BTW.
Was a little disappointed to see they have problems running with a spek rx. But we'll see what happens.

I just bought these tires/wheels. Does anyone know if they are any good?

Those are the stock tires that come on the r, they are alright. I only ran 1 pack through with them on and then went to foams.

Hi,

Do you run on carpet and asphalt?

I run on RCP

Those are actually 3Racing treads and rims.
Some guys jumped all over them because they were the first aftermarket offering, and some even claimed the had a little more grip than the stockers.
But foams are definately the way to go if you're racing.

Ah, I see that now. Either way it is a good set of extras tires for the money whether your gonna race with them or not.

Hi,

I recently purchased a Novak Mongoose 10.5 for my 18R and I will be running it with a 2 cell pack and was wondering which Novak Novak pinion set I should purchase? I will be running on 1 1/10 scale asphalt track. Any help is appreciated.

It's hard to say for sure because none of us have run your track or are familiar with it. Just get both; better to be safe than sorry.
