That looks great Atsushi would be proud to see his colours on such a nice rig, What chassis was it ? It looks reversed to most other m18 layouts, nice purple ano too.

Nice Deal. Almost the same set-up I have. Way too much car for a stock motor, though. Go bigger!

I think he is referring to BadSign's comment, no need to get jumpy.

My M18 should arrive tomorrow can't wait , it has Atomic ball diffs, X ray SSG carbon chassis, Extremes top chassis, Atomic alloy hubs, HS 81, X ray 300 esc and Peak 300 motor, also Nosram Vtec 1200 7.2 batts. Don't know if I an gonna keep the ESC motor combo as I have a mamba 8000kv system sitting hereand also a Nosram hawk reverse speedy, am also getting the Atomic alloy CVD's (the new type) and Atomic series 2 alloy engine mount and fan combo. I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

What are the Xray speed 300 ESC like ? would I be better off running my Nosram Hawk (LRP AI) than the X ray esc or just go the mamba straight up ?

I haven't heard much about the Xray esc, but what I have heard wasn't great. The 8000 is an awesome set up...you just need the room to let it rip and have some skills to wheel it around a track. I've talked to a couple guys who had the 8000 on a small track and it got to be too much power. But if you're running a big flowing track, you're in good shape!
Keep me posted on those Atomic CVDs, I'd like to know how they last. The Atomic motor and fan mount works great! If you run a stock motor, it is THE must have part and if you run a diff. motor...cooler is better
