1/18th Associated RC18T

its very easy to work on and the performance is awesome. it was really quick with the stock motor but ive upgraded to the mamba 6800 and it hits 28-30 mph no problem with stock batteries.i cant even begin to tell you the hell ive put mine through with high hopes of breaking something....with no results. i finally broke the front shock tower after i paced a moving car , gunned it and ran up under his rear wheel.

hmmm i think for $500 you can get a Traxxas Jato!

Also look at the HPI Savage 4.6!

$0-500?

In that case, I would recommend an electric RTR (Ready-to-Run).

Since I'm an AE (Associated Electrics/Team Associated) fan, I'd recommend:

- RC10T4 RS RTR ($241.99 @ Tower Hobbies.com)

The T4 is a 2WD stadium truck

or if you're into buggies,

- RC10B4 RS RTR ($237.99 @ Tower Hobbies.com)

The B4 is a 2WD buggy

With the $250 you have left over, you can use it to purchase required running equipment

They are:

- Radio (transmitter) batteries - 8 AA sized batteries

- 6-cell battery pack, for starting, I'd recommend Epic's 3000mAh NiMH sport packs ($18.99 each, I recommend more than one). Later on as you progress, you can build your own battery packs if you wish to race.

- AC/DC digital peak charger (I recommend Duratrax's Piranha digital peak charger, the best charger you can buy for under $100 ($49.99 @ Tower)

Keep in mind, the B4 and T4 are great cars to get into hobby-grade R/C with, but if you want to know, the B4 and T4 are also monsters at the R/C track. Visit your local off-road R/C race track on a race day and watch them race.

The B4 was also the 2005 IFMAR 2WD Buggy World Champion driven by Billy Easton. The B4 has also won many national and regional championships throughout the world.

The T4 is no slouch either, its the 2005 ROAR Offroad Truck National Champion (US). I can't recall the name of the driver.

No you can't. You can probably purchase the vehicle, but you won't have enough money to run it.

Thanks for helping with the questions, but the lack of formal R/C experience really doesn't help, it just makes it HARDER for us to help him!

mmhmm! Its an excellent buggy! At the same time, Integy and CML Distributions (hobby-RC companies) have already made aluminum parts for it (shock towers, suspension arms, chassis plates (not the main chassis).

I have a B4 myself, I got it in '04 as a kit. Loved it! The parts fit great. It was my first R/C vehicle (I never had a clue that I would own a world championship winning vehicle )

The B4 had evolved from an earlier buggy, called the B2. It was around the early 90's when a Japanese racer Masami Hirosaka (no retired) modified the B2 in a way that it impressed AE, who was sponsoring him. The modifications he did were tried and tested. The B3 was a new design, but today, the B4 had used similar steering geometry and design like the modified B2 in the 90's.

Its got a long history, both heretical, and on the podium!

In that case... Don't buy the Pro-Pulse, its a Team Associated knock-off! (really, its true, I'm not trying to promote AE!)

The Pro-Pulse is a cheaper version of Team Associated's RC18B!!!

Here's AE's site:
http://www.rc10.com/ae/18b/18b_features.htm

Here's the RC18B RTR at Tower:

the evo is the only somewhat original design RS sells.

Yeah... I also noticed that RS's "Centrios" line had a knock off of my Kenwood speakers at 1/3 the price I paid!

EDIT: Does RS in US have the Centrios line? I just visited the Centrios site and they've got the regular site, plus a French language version....

[xmodsnut]

nope nothing like that here
