there isn't a chassis for 1/18th sedan that is in the same building with the R3, so i'd imagine we'll see much the same here

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
I can't wait for these bodies Mike! I'll pickup a few when they are ready...this thing needs a suitable shell:




I need to get some pictures with the Novak Mongoose setup in there soon!

Yes, since we always race 5 cells in 1:10th 2wd or 4wd here, il just do the same @my TEK. The electrics is cooler,the trottle curve is slightly diff. I can promise there is plenty of speed in this one if i need more speed, il just put in a lower turned motor,same as 1:10. The balance in the car is real good

Trying out the new body and new Mongoose at tomorrows races

So far the Mongoose is silky smooth and the body is SLAMMED.

Body is working fantastic so far. Not 1 single wheel rub up in the wheel wells which is a real negative with the AE 18R bodies. Nice balance, stability and excellent downforce as well.

TQ and win in 18R mod over the weekend and have about 70 bodies promised to customers at my local track now.

I will have the bodies ready for delivery in about 2 weeks I hope.
$14.95 with high down force wing, window masks and stickers.

Mike that is fantastic. You better have a good production run. I think they will be a great seller. I know I'll be getting one and the body has convinced me to create an Exotek 18R.
Cheers All

Do you have an Australian distributor?

That body is sick! Congrats on the results of testing and put me down for 2 of those bodies!!! We have a small group of 18R enthusiasts around here and I know this will be the new hotness When will your site be open for pre orders or can I call and do that?
