its the m18 good?

[Softspike321]

naw.....its a piece of $hit.....of course its good, in fact, I think its better than good, its awesome! The only downside is that a rolling chassis(no electronics) is $100 dollars(by the way, its a kit, not prebuilt). Total it costs about $500 if you get good parts and want a fast car. if you dont care, than itll cost about $300, but it doesnt go very fast.

Dude, a 6 cell Kan pack and a speed 300 for under this $300 isnt fast????

What are you talking about?!

[Softspike321]

add a radio, esc, and a servo and it all adds up. Also, the price of the kit is included in the $300 to $500. Another thing, when RC Car Action reviewed the car, the "dislike" was that it had a plastic motor mount, so thats another pricey upgrade(aluminum is expensive for RC cars).

Do you even have one?

Speed300= $22
6cell pack= $18
Kit=$100
Charger=$30
Radio=$40
ALuminum MotorMount=$19
Mini Servo= $24
Mini ESC= $45

$298 and that is a "hooked up" car. You don't need $500 unless your going for that graphite look (unneccesary).

And trust me when I say $300 for a car of this quality is amazing!

[Softspike321]

Here's how mine added up:

Base Kit= $100
Modified motor= $35
2 NiMH 5 cell battery packs= $40
Charger(NiMH Compatible)= $80
Radio: $100
Micro servo= $30
ESC(Novak SPY)= $75
GPM Alum. Motor Mount= $19
Total: $479

Not necessary so its not included:

Extra body= $15
Paint= $10
Light kit= $25

Grand Total: $529
My car goes 27.8 mph. Radar tested.

P.S. most micro ESC's dot work with above a 280 size motor.

The m18 does indeed take 6 cell.. inline. You have to slightly modify the battery hold down with a dremel or hobby knife. Thats it.


Extra body=Not neccessary, but $15
Paint 3 colors (get createx same as fastcolor but cheaper)=$10

Why weigh your car down and waste battery life for a light kit? But fine.. $25
