Description: 1 of the best (e) cars/trucks ive had..

Hi guys,
This is my 1/18 RUSH RC18T, I think it is one of the best electric cars/trucks ive ever had, and ive had a few..
As ive said before i get all my RC stuff from Hong Kong because of the price difference. The reason i wanted to get a small electric truck was because im not always able to take my Nitro cars and trucks out, so i wanted something i could take out even if i could only play for 5 or 10 mins, i was going to get the traxxas rustler (electric) but insted of buying that i got this and my Mini-z moster :)
Anyway before i got it, i saw a video of it being used so i knew it was going to be pretty quick, but when it arrived i was very very pleased the thing was super fast and i mean super, ive spent over £200 before on an electric car and this little thing blows it away with ease :P And one of the best things about this Truck was the price, it was only £38 brand new RTR from a shop in Hong Kong :thumbs_up: One of the reasons for it being so cheap tho is because of the brand name, but that never put me off..
Everything can be changed to alloy (mini t parts fit perfect) at the moment it has a 380 motor, and runs off a 6xcell 7.2 battery pack, but a 540 can be installed. Its top speed is about 25mph and the accelaration is so fast its a bit scarey :lol: its also got a good running time, 25 to 35 minutes And even tho all the parts are standard at the moment its still very strong ive done some pretty big jump with it and nothing was damaged, But of course i will still be upgraded it :D
HERES SOME PICTURES:






if i can find the video ill post it, but if i cant ill make my own one....
HAPPY RACING!!

Oli get what ever one is the cheapest.. as your still not sure the cars gonna work yet mate.

Monty your right the mini T is class mate, my nephews gots one, but it eats my dust :D And because this thing is half the price, its faster, comes with a 7.2v battery pack, and the mini - T parts fit it perfect..
thats why i think its better mate, and once its upgraded, it will be even more better :) and look much nicer, and at will still be a great price..
HAPPY RACING GUYS!!!!!

As always I nicked it off ebay cheap, with an upgraded HPI handset upgraded battery and some sand paddle rear tyres.
Needs oil shocks if I ever get around to it, but climbs walls as it is :D

wow monty your mini t is class mate, thats by far the best mini t ive ever seen :bling: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
I bet cost a bit to upgraded it like that, but dam i bet it was worth it tho.
Id love to race that but as you can see all mine is standard so i think yours would maybe beat mine, but mate yours is no normal mini t, yours is bloody well class..
HAPPY RACING MATE!!!
