I have seen some more info on it from another forum!! (trator i know!)

it will come ready to run with cells and a charger!!!!!!!!!

the whiteish plastic is just for the prototype and the real one will come with black stuff. seen some more pictures of it.

i still like my mini t and would never get shot of it.. i might get one of these as well but not instead of!!

this thing won't be able to pull wheelies for 50 foot like my mini t does!

The 18T is actually released at an RRP of £149.99

Pictures of the final release version with details are on the CML website.

that is not too bad actually.. i thought it would be more!! might have to get one now!

don't like the look of the charger i have seen in the pictures.

Actually having just looked at the pictures.. i really like it!!

you couldn't race the two together (mini t and 18t) becuase its like 1/10th you don't race 4 and 2 wd together but it looks good.. oil filled shocks, and lsd's in the rtr version looks really good.. might handle the horsepower better than the Mini t.. (mine dies on a regular basis) but it still won't be able to pull 50 foot wheelies!!

I recon I could smoke one off around wycombe with my Mini-T :D

especially if we have the jumps set up technically

[lewist]

i could out drag one no problems, but as for handling it doesn't help that the front wheels on my T are almost always in the air these days..

you havn't seen my truck recently have you chris??

[Doughty]

nope, but I should have more time now that the outdoor season is over... :D

[lewist]

well the next meeting is on monday!!

Terry has asked if we would like to hold 4 rounds of the Mayhem challenge.

I think we are going to do it.. starting not this monday but the monday after. that will give the last 4 rounds of our series will also be the last 4 rounds of qualifing for the mayhem series!

we will be discussing it soon and info will be posted!

[Doughty]

Cool, goot to hear you got some good 'well supported' series coming to your track...

anyway, before we get told off... back on topic :o

Yeah, that AE wagon does look pretty good... :)

[lewist]

yeah it does look nice.. and for the price it is very well speced out!!!

the november release date.. is that realisitic or is that a bit oprimistic??

not out in the US yet is it? we usually get it a few months after they do? but they would be well advised to get it out for christmas!!

[Andy M]

I would expect it to be out on schedule. I would very much expect it to be out before christmas!

Seems 1/18th trucks are all the rage click here (http://www.teamtrinity.com/ibspyder.htm)

Its the new trinity 1/18th truck

[Dynamite Arrows]

There's obviously some confidence in the new class, 4WD used to be as rare as hens teeth in the US, touring cars seem to have changed all that.

It seems a shrewd and brave move on Associated's part to go all wheel drive, I wonder how long they thought about doing a rear wheel drive truck to compete with the Mini-T , before deciding against it?

Don't these 1/18 cars make std equipment look huge lol :D , I know much smaller equipment is out there, but just look at that thing on the Trinity. I can see it's a combined RX/ESC but still !

At a guess, the gears will be tough as old boots in the new Associated truck. There's no way my M18 gears would last if I ran big wheels, even so, people have still been trying to convert it to a truck overseas!

I'm sure the purpose built Associated will be great once it's out !

It looks like X-Ray have also seen a future for this class.
