....and have a Baja on order. But, I have always been fascinated by the 1/18 cars. I had a mini-t for about 2 weeks, but got rid of it as no hop ups were available at the time (back when they first came out). I was looking at the rc18b (factory team edition) and it seems like the best bang for the buck (I do not want an rtr as I am getting a new spektrum radio and will have an extra rx to use). I want a brushless setup, but nothing over the top. maybe $150 tops on the brushless motor and speed control. Also, no lipos. This will be run with nimh, until the new, safer, lithium batteries come out later down the road. I know, lipo is the way to go, lighter weight, more amps in a smaller size, blah blah blah. I don't trust lipos for the most part and I don't want to invest in a charger for lipos yet, I just want to keep it simple. Basically, the car, a decent, but not outrageous brushless setup, and that's it.
any ideas? Is the rc18b a decent car (I want a 4wd buggy as opposed to a stadium truck).
