Tried to get videos.

Not enough space for the little one & steering servo won't centre properly.

It's geared quite low so isn't too fast in a straight line.

Buggy has ruined tyres so gets no rear traction and battery wasn't fully charged.

Excuse the 8 year old operating camera

Get a wheelie bar dude :lol:.

I wasnt expecting it to be that quick tbh, brushless seems the way to go :)

If the little one was drivable it would be rapid. It's only on a 13t pinion, it pulls a 15 fine.

It's also on foams, which dont balloon so you lose speed :(

Currently awaiting:

Higher speed steering servo

Aluminium ball joints

Adjustable tie rods

Aluminium shock towers

Allen key for pinion to gear up.

Also gonna get some new radio gear with adjustable steering sensitivity for high speed runs.

It's a bit of a pain getting parts for this, bits coming from hongkong & America.

Also wanna source some road slicks for 1/18th rims!

i used to have an rc18t copy called a mini rodeo was a decent lil buggy, never had the funds to get brushless or lipo so sold it :-(. tempted to get another now

Everything's so cheap now.

I saw a mint m18t go on eBay with mamba brushless, 2.4 ghz radio gear, lipo and a balance charger. Whole car was virtually alloy and carbon fibre and went under £200, was like £1000 worth or more in bits

Wow when i had mine the 2.4ghz kit alone was worth £200 and so was the lipo's and charger

might have to get something to drift 8-)

i sill want a drift beast lol

this is mine,

Just a simple Nikko i got like years ago,

Would drift it but its only rwd. Gonna look into getting a decent drift one, wanted ones for a year now.

why cant you drift rwd?

  • Author

Most the drifters are 4wd with less grippy rear tyres, dunno why.

I'm throwing together a shit 1/10th atm out of old bits. Stock 27t motor and 2s lipo haha

dunno what any of this shit means haha.

was having a look for a drift one on ebay but I'm not sure what I'm looking at haha

Dude, 1/8 1/10 etc is the scale.

1/5 is big, 1/18 is small.

Brushed and brushless is the motor type (one has brushes, one doesn't) brushless is generally faster, less maintenance and better.

Lipo is a type of battery, 2 cell or 2s lipo is 7.4v, 3s is 11.1v. 1500mah is the capacity, more capacity lasts longer.

i know about the scale, id want a 1/10 one or bigger.

ahh i seeeeeee

rolf get on ebay!!!!

I'd strongly recommend a tracxas e revo brushless.

But they're very expensive! I priced one up with some decent batts and was near £800
