Features: 18B RTR

RC18B body

"I'm also very pleased with the 18B's run times, which exceeded 20 minutes without a noticeable drop in speed. With this much track time, you'd expect there to be some broken parts, but the 18B never even hinted that it wasn't up to the challenge." RC Car February 2006

The RC18B packs big-time 4WD buggy performance into a mini-sized package!

Based on the original RC18T platform, the 18B features a mini-buggy body and wing, narrow-spoke wheels in front and wide-spoke wheels in the rear for superior handling and traction.

The 18B is powered by an inline-mounted “Super 370” high-performance motor, bolted to an aluminum motor mount with several mounting holes to fit most aftermarket 1:18 scale hop-up motors.

 The 18B transfers all the power to the ground with its efficient shaft-drive, 4WD powertrain featuring adjustable ball differentials front and rear.

The 18B suspension absorbs all of the imperfections of the road with oil-filled shocks for smooth and consistent dampening. The four lower suspension arms are symmetrical and work with the molded upper suspension links to ensure that the 18B’s suspension geometry is optimized right out of the box.

18B Chassis

Team Associated’s “XP” series electronics in the 18B are completely modular, allowing easy access to the receiver, steering servo, and the “XPS” electronic speed control with reverse.

If you’re looking for the ultimate mini-4WD buggy with big performance that will whip the competition, look no further. Leave them in the dust with Team Associated’s RC18B.

Two body colors to choose from.
