i have the AE 18T with the mamba 6800 comp package. i still run stock batteries and gearing and it will hit 25-29 mph (i read others go up to 35 mph with lipos). even with the stock motor it was a beast. my friend has a propulse and doesnt abuse his car nowhere near as much as i do has had to replace numerous parts tie rods , shock towers , dog bones etc,etc,etc....while the only thing ive replaced is 1 front shock and the front tire( guess i shouldnt have ran it up underneath the back tire of a moving car going 25)
the same friend just got the mini LST, while it looks great and has lots of torque....from a noobs viewpoint it would almost be impossible to take apart and do your own repairs. hes had it for a few weeks and already stripped the gears.he took it back to the hobby store and they charged him $50 for a new gear and labor.
whatever part you would need to fix on an 18T ...it would be easy to get and easy to install.
