RC18T with 2S Lipo and 27T 540 Motor

[jimchosen80]

fantastic alternative to going brushless and at a fraction of the cost. gr8 work

[e4g1e1]

How did you fit that massive 540 motor in there? !!!

[littleAZN248]

wouldn't a mamba 25 8000kv be faster?

[xdark0lordxx]

not as fast as ud hope

[DarkSkysify]

@littleAZN248 yes i have 8000kv sidewinder on my rc18r and it is faster but being too much fast is not good when controlling , you want to be able to control your car in the right direction , so i would only go for 4800kv and it will give you longer run time to

[99876654]

Dude balance your wheels

they are swinging back and forth like crazy

If you properly balance them you will go faster and handle better

[hallomuhi]

very good song

[maggiCK123]

is it a 1:10 scale motor?

[rcvxl24]

0:35-0:37

[devster117]

how fast is one of these stock? __mph?

[willums70]

I used to think minis were gay.

I still do, but now I want an 18t.

Great, more Savage budget depleted!

Sweet truck!

[josh89130]

nice idid the same thing when i saw this but i use dtx 1400 batteries and a axial 27 turn

[shadowblaze6391]

lol i wonder how the tires increase when you floor it

[hotdognobun]

God help those diffs but its worth it...you might even start a trend??? Hmmmm

[ChraftShaft]

Great video!!!

Would love to know what tune it is???

Thanks!

[brentchaput90]

Song is "Wheels" by Cake

pewpew!

[ProductionDesignrMAX]

Okay your killing me.

My brushless RC18T (will post vid this weekend) can do the SAME THING but probably cost me THREE TIMES as much...

WOW... You are brilliant!!!

[Growf911]

'cept your brushless weighs about a third of that. Less weight means better handling and a higher top end. Brushless is better. Now maybe if I saw a Mamba Max 6900kv system jammed into one of those with a 3s LiPo I'd be impressed.

[historysky]

less weight dose not mean higher top end, just faster acceleration....

[imdanicklebum]

hey mate im having some trouble with my 18t. every time i acclerate it goes flat out and out of control. it was running perfect. now all of a sudden this is happening. i even put new batteries in my radio and fully charged my lipo and it still happens. any ideas on what iy could be? cheers

[brody63]

I've been trying and trying to replicate that design you have, sometimes losing sleep on the deal, and I am still stuck on the actual mounting of the motor plate to the 18t chassis. I have reviewed all your site pics, but all I can come up with is that you mounted in in front of the bearing/driveshaft mount. Any help or tips you have for a fellow 18t lover would be of great appreciation. btw Very awesome job!

[aktiondan]

that's exactly where it's mounted. In fact, it's screwed on just the one side with a 4-40 screw into the bearing support/drive shaft mount. It is far less glamorous that you might think. There's some flex in it, but I haven't stripped a spur gear yet, just the diff gears. If you shoot me an email (check my site), I might could send you some more pics.

[brody63]

thank you soooo much that helped extremely but if you could send me some pics that would be awesome to I'll e-mail you then thanks again btw my friend now (as of today) has a front mounted motor, center diff rc18t, I'll try to send you some pics!

[hal279]

is your motor brushless and is a brushless motor faster and what do u mean by 2s lipo is that two batteris put together or a type of batt.

[ThermalOverload]

it has 2 cells, so that is 7.4v

as a NIMH batt that is equal to a 6 cell NIMH

[razerfred123]

Put a brushless engine in it it will go so much faster

[koolaid09164]

does the 540 go in without modification? if not what did u have to do?

[ProductionDesignrMAX]

OF COURSE NOT!  HA!

[TractorKid7]

haha! that is sweet 2:01-2:14 was mental!

[imdanicklebum]

awsome. can some1 please tell me where can i get 1 of these?

[beomagi]

The baby wins ;)

[elvemageownz123]

uhh, ok so is it a good idea at all to run an rc18mt in the dirt?????

[mambacx]

i drive mine in the dirt all the time, i mean it is what they were made for. just not in rocks.

[afromamma86]

Do you have any vid on your car? (its me with the jeep cherokee :) I have a mini inferno st have not made it brushless just yet.. Is mamba good?

[sasa696]

this vidéo is great I like the tvcommander a futaba 3pm fm

sorry for anderstand I am french

[RC18T9112]

is that so u can fit the lipo in it?

[RC18T9112]

hey umm did u need to get a new reciever and if so could u tell me where

[aktiondan]

I'm running a Futaba 3PM-FM with the receiver that comes with it. Bought it from Tower Hobbies.

[solitarypickle]

that baby has a sense of style

[rcryno]

How come when i take my rc18t with metal gears and a hitec servo into dirt all the dust messes everything up, and how come that doesnt happen with your.

[aktiondan]

It does happen with mine. One run in the dirt and all the gears are messed up. I just replaced them often. Or just drive in the street mostly.

[justint1993]

lol its speeded up

[aktiondan]

lol, no it's not. I've got a 10T Trinity D6 540 motor in in now with a 3S-11.1V li-po, and it's twice as fast. But the video is unaltered. The conversion process in YouTube tends to drop frames which makes it look sped up, but it's not.

[bis124]

Hi what ESP are you using that can take 11.4 v i have the same motor but its a flat liner I han no idia it can take 11.4v

[Code325]

do you have it posted on a site anywhere?

[MicroT3]

How much did this whole thing cost all together???

[aktiondan]

I had the parts lying around from other RC cars. But not much more than a new ESC and 540 motor.

[aktiondan]

It's a 27-turn stock motor. Gearing is 30T pinion and 60T spur, if I remember correctly.

[Code325]

you should post those on one18th . com

btw

what gearing are you using?

[BillyBobolicious]

I like the music, Cake is Good! Nice trucks!

[Conti027]

awesome trucks and cute kid

[anniehimself]

I remember going to your site, that truck is nice. Is it still running?

[Nitroxdude]

haha you know what would really be funny is if you kicked that little gay black truck at the end lol

[Smingr]

my mamba is way faster

[matto247]

what gear cover u using?

[Kavaari]

nice video!

[jomarrrr]

could you message me how you fit the 540 motor in there?

[RC18T9112]

im tryin to get him to tell me too but if he told u can u tell me?
