So found this in storage. I had bought two of them when a store was going out of business. ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3082.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3082.jpg) Was bored so jumped right into it Last night how far I was; ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3087.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3087.jpg) And now this afternoon; ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3089.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3089.jpg) I actually have everything to finish it, so going to do it as brushed 27t stocker to break it in… then going to swap in a Novak 8.5t brushless I bought years ago and still havent used. Also, I know I bought this rc18r on here, but cant remember from who lol Anyways, thats next. I ordered a cheapo brushless for it, and have a traxxas radio to have it running. ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3080.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/RCz/DSC_3080.jpg) ---

I just got rid of my rc18r a few months ago. Still have a 18t that’s decked out though and a shit ton of parts for it. There so easy to run anywhere since there small and electric. I’m running a dynamite brushless setup in mine. ---

Oh and a Traxxas Slash(4wd offroad), I bought broken and just repaired, but havent run yet. ---

I’ll post mine in here… Traxxas Stampede, killed the stock body and grabbed the body off an Old RadioShack FlashTron from 1997 I had at my parents house to hold me over until I get a roll cage or another body to destroy. Its got a Velineon Brushless system, RPM bumper and Camber Links, STRC Bearing Carriers and a wheelie bar. Also waiting until I can get some funds to buy new tires and wheels. ![http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk250/premier00000/3690B2FA-9836-4E35-B8AE-8FF27851F0BE-31956-000009F1AA81ACAB.jpg](http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk250/premier00000/3690B2FA-9836-4E35-B8AE-8FF27851F0BE-31956-000009F1AA81ACAB.jpg) ---

So I bought an Axial Wraith kit as a winter keep-my-sanity project. I’ve never built an RC before. It will be built as a rock crawler. Geared low. Plenty of torque. I got all Vanquish Products parts, Super Shafty bomb proof transmission (all hardened steel gears), and a Holmes Hobbies 35T brushed with their BRXL ESC. Half way in and you ask yourself “What the fuck did I get myself into?” ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album2/10-8.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album2/10-8.jpg) Vanquish replica OMF beadlocks: ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album2/4-17.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album2/4-17.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album2/0.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album2/0.jpg) Super Shafty Transmission with Robinson Racing slipper clutch ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/B7D4A208-E496-426E-9B75-30DF49BA2235-1153-000000EF2A632B28.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/B7D4A208-E496-426E-9B75-30DF49BA2235-1153-000000EF2A632B28.jpg) Front is now a 3-link with panhard bar and chassis mounted steering servo. ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/14.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/14.jpg) ---
