Thanks for the replies. This may be a daft question, but I guess the 1/10 wheel/tyre combos are quite a bit bigger diameter than the standard 1/18 ones? I like the look of 58-60mm diameter wheels on it, and don't want it to look like a Monster Truck - is this the case with 1/10 wheels or not?
I'm surprised at how few UK retailers seem to cater for the RC18 (both standard parts & hop-ups) - seems to have a really good following and support in the States... Even having trouble getting basic parts like the diff shim kit & RPM front bumper over here, oh well looks like I'll have to go with Tower or RC Mart, though think I'll order the wheels / tyres from DMS.
BTW, what would be a good 1100-1400 mah NiMh to get as a 2nd pack? Seen this on ebay, looks OK -
