I have the 18t and the rocks only affects at high speeds. One thing I dont understand, was this car designed for rally? what type of rally field? because the ground clearance is too small.

It was something I did FOR FUN because I can, no other reason, not for a rally field (guess your name for a rally course) and no it wasnt "designed" for rally, I modded an RC18R for offroad. And watch the vids, doesnt seem to have a ground clearance issue except I am on a 8th Nitro track that was closed for the season so no maint. done on it in 3 months. I got 20yrs of rc experience behind me and I like to just do interesting things for the hell of it.

Cool. But why dont you go for some Dirt Hawgs and 18T shocks and be done? I think it would be a killer jumper if you gould get the power down.... Nice vid tho. I agree, these cars arent good on loose surfaces. Wheelbase is too short and they just spin out. I have the 18MT all modded. Cool music in this vid, I dont like the other vids song though. Good job matey.

I was being different, thats why,lol. Dirt hawgs woudlnt fit under the wheel wells and 18T shocks and all that would have thrown the look off.

emm, its a great video but FYI: RC18R stand for RC18 Rally, just like the "T" stand for "Truck" "B" stands for buggy "MT" stands for monster truck, so no real "conversion" here, just the rims/tires, some body mods, bigger shocks

Awesome video!!

Hi I was wondering what you did for this conversion? That's pretty sweet! I'd like to do the same to mine, thanks! Mike

Help please.

my 18r performs better without the body.

is that normal?? like it's more stable, turns better, and tracks better without the body. I ve cut the wheel opening bigger already but it still performs better without the body. is there anything i should check or do becuase id like it to perform just as well with the body

thanks

Thanks for posting!
