I call this "the Road Runner"
It's my dedicated Brushless roadster RC18T

Here's the specs:

Mamba25 5400 kV
URC X61 Packs 7.2V
Hitec 40MHz FM RX
HSE CF Chassis with some reworking done by yours truly
Full Associated FT billet kit incl. FT alloy shocks
Titanium hingepins
MIP CVDs
Stainless steel differential outdrives
GPM alloy steering link kit
FT Gold Springs
T-Bone Racing front bumper
Losi Foams
FT Turnbuckle Kit
"Mondo" custom heavy duty adjustable steering links


Other things I've also done:

Shimmed out the side-to-side play out of the suspension arms
Installed small (black) washers behind the hingepin retaining screws on the suspension arms
Put O-rings behind most ballcups to keep them clean
Fitted spacers on the battery holder mounting posts
Installed MRS4 tire insterts on battery bar to stop it scuffing the pack
Fitted genuine Velco® to the lower deck and cells
Installed two brand new diffs to compliment stainless outdrives


She's a flyer, even at 5400 kV!

THAT'S TOO F'ING COOL MAN...I need to make one of those...I have a Mini-t and M18 and I wanted to combine them...I know now what I need to do.....the O-ring idea is pretty cool, I must do that ....and I'm sure someone is going to tell you this again but you need to resize your pics...forget the max but it's a rule they like to enforce so the site stays consistent
 
I'll resize those pics tonight... and if you liked that RC18T, I do have a full carbon, totaly maxxed out brushless M18 too..
I'll Post a Thread on that tonight :)
