what batteries do these sc18's take?
prefer something from hobbyking. thank you

Rhino 1750mah fits easy, Turnigy 2200mah will squeeze in there.

this battery?
how much runtime will that get with the stock motor/esc?

30 minutes plus or minus a few for driving style and other factors. With a mild brushless system I can see 45+ minutes with these packs on track.

looking for some decent brushless options for the sc18 i just received.
is the castle the way to go?
i have to make an order from hobbyking.. but i didnt see any micro combos..
perhaps i just missed them.
thanks

Check out www.hobbypartz.com for Hobbywing ESC and motor combos.

Either the 18 or 25 amp are fine and the 5200kv motor is plenty fast for this size car.

Check out hard case Lipo from Promatch Racing: www.promatchracing.com

$19.99 for 1800mah and 35C

I ordered two of them this fall and they work great!

I have noticed that I, myself, and those I race with have had issues with the center link on the new Team Associated RC18B2 and T2 breaking frequently. A fellow racer and I have designed a replica piece made out of high grade, light weight, extra strength aluminum. The piece fits perfectly and it uses the stock Associated screws to install. Anyone interested can check it out and/or purchase it at:

Hey I just bought a sc18 to race on carpet. Will the stock servo work for a little while. Or should i upgrade to a hitec 65mg servo?

And what shocks are you guys running the sc18.

It will work, just not very well. mine wouldn't center right out of the box. I replaced it with a Savox...problem solved. A lot of people are using the FT shocks from an RC18T but i think the 3Racing ones would be better.

How about the tires will they work on carpet?

About the shocks, are they using the long shocks in the back and then short ones in the front?

Does anybody know of a good brushless Esc and Motor for the sc18. I know the novak is the best but dont feel like spending that type of money.I was thinking something from hobbyking?

I use the ezrun speedo and it works fine. Has all the settings I need. I run it with a 4200 China Motor (no ezrun), 32 kmh, plenta of runtime.
