Killer as always Mike! I already sent email to the sites I know. Hopefully others out there will as well?

That stuff looks KILLER Mike!!!

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice Mike, makes me wish I still had my mini-t. But I will be coming to get the LXT kit soon! :sneaky:

no offense, but the site notes "Pre-Order" and I think we all know how that can be sometimes.

any idea on an actual release date?

Another dialed exotek product :nod: is it micro season yet? :)

for guys like us....its always micro season....
For me it is pure pleasure to see Mike from Exotek coming out with new products...The mini t is the offroader that started us all off w the 1/18 scale offroad class...:nod:

Funny enough the mini-t was my first RC car ever :tire::tire:

the tek 18x is awesome. another great product from exotek.

awesome work mike

Thank you guys for all of your support! Can't keep new product lines rolling out without your help!

oldschoolracer- everything is scheduled to start shipping June 6th which is only about 10 days away:nod: My web shop will have the latest and greatest info on this also.

Thanks,

Mike R

As always awsome stuff Mike!!! I was womdering if you are going to offer an upgrade kit for people who already own a Tek18?

I'm getting the MXT for sure!

Yes you know it! Swap out all of the carbon parts and you'll have the latest TEK18X but more like 'factory team' because you'll have more of the alloy parts already. When I can get pictures for the upgrade kit parts I'll post it on the website for sale. I would say by Tuesday.

Thanks,

M

nice looking conversion kit. :D

Well done job on the MXT conversion!!! Continue to put out fantastic products. Might have to up grade my sons T.

So MikeR what is the next project? :sneaky:

A couple of beers and watching the Lakers/ Celtics! lol!

Ok guys- those that are lucky enough to already have the TEK18 can now purchase the TEK18X update kit. In stock and ready to ship;

How durable is the MXT chassis. I jump around 5-12 feet with my Mini-T.

Mike is there any spy shots of that 18r body? :sneaky: And what size are the setup boards going to be?

Mike, is there any plans for a Buggy body ? or does the stock RC18b fit, if i trim it less ?. Must say, real good service!! :sneaky:

Hi All,

Frozen- The nylon MXT chassis is pretty flexible so can handle most minor jumps assuming the landings aren't harsh. I'm actually working on a full blown carbon Mini-T chassis that will be more stout than the typical nylon type for later this year. Just will be very pricey.

Rob- why?

MP- No spy shots sorry but when my race buddy saw the mold he squelched like a school girl :rolleyes: haha. Unfortunately my vacuum form guy just went on vacation so it's delayed the 'spy shot' until 2 weeks.
I have some set up boards in stock but just haven't had the time to get them on-line. Sizes will be;
9.25"x13 $15aprx
13"x18.5 $22aprx
15.5"x26 $29aprx

All white with black trim and made from all premium materials. No cheap chip board like the other brands!

Thomas- Thanks sir! Any way I do have a model of a buggy body built up but waiting to see how the sales of the 18R and truck body does before going further with it. For a stock 18B body you would trim the nose section less but trim the front bottom skirt more for better servo saver clearance.

sounds good Mike, il try to talk to a guy that i know here @ home evewn known as "LimmetED" he is a magician with lexan lids... see if he can do one.

sounds GREAT Mike. what is the body shaped after?

Hey, Mike,

I'm glad you're looking into some RC18 bodies. That's a market that hasn't been tapped, yet! Really looking forward to the 'Z!'

Setup boards! Yeaaa! I hate having to use the uneven surface of the LHS pit tables. Do they have the toe in degrees listed on them?

The buggy body for the Tex18X, that could fit a M18T Pro as well, so additional market. :cool:

Great job! I'm gonna get one soon.
Here is the post in my local forum (Italy).

That sure clears things up for all of us non-Italian speakers...:lol:

this is the second post you are teasing about my answers. . .if you have a problem get some help . . . besides;are you able to speak and write at least other three languages other than yours? Genius
Sorry folks:nobody likes to be teased . . . i guess

Michael P- It will be based on this but without the fancy front flares...

wrnfx- Hope it does well. If so then it will lead into other bodies ;)

Oxy- No toe stickers. Maybe I guess if I raised the hood line for the M18 since it has the higher top deck. I'll have to test and see if I do proceed with it.

Ghiro- Thanks

Darn! Darn! Darn! Darn!

Most guys just use a camber gauge anyways. You stand the car straight up, resting either the front or rear tires on the board and rest the camber gauge against the tires and you have the toe angles ;) If a car has bumpers in the way then I just use calipers and measure the front edge then rear edge of the tires. The stickers are over rated I think :D

Speaking of bodies- anybody have a mini Desert Gator body they want to sell? They are discontinued so I'm having no luck finding these... really need one to test fit on some projects and maybe develop that body further.

Mike, if you are a person that buys from other stores and overseas then RCMart has 7 left. BTW do they fit well on the MXT?

Thanks for that!

Just ordered so I'll let you know how it fits after arrival.

i just cut my mini desert gator body for my mxt chassis, its little too long, and a little to wide for my liking, but it looks soooo nice :) make that body just a fraction smaller in some areas and it will fit like a glove on the chassi!

i can post a pic on it as soon as i have painted it!

BTW, very nice chassi! really looking forward to test it!!

Here is my Exotek XXX (still not finnished!)
