Default mini-inferno v RC18T

I'm just wondering whether I made the right choice buying a mini inferno 2nd hand and whether I should sell it on and get a 2nd hand RC18T.

I can't commit much money to running a micro so both cars would be pretty much standard.

What's everyone's thoughts on the two cars as they seem to be about the same price?

have to agree Pete, you'll end up spending a fortune on em in the long run. Of the 2 the rc18 is probably the easiest to make a half decent car out of.

A blaze would be a better bet tho

On that basis, does anyone want to buy a mini inferno or swap for a blaze?

I think I'll have to run the mini inferno til I've saved up some more for a blaze, unless anyone has one going reeeediculously cheap!

This is trickier than I thought! Need to start new topic for what needs spending on a Blaze.
I only want it as a fun thing at club when not running 1/10th!

blaze... you need steel driveshafts all round, and from what I understand, at least a ball diff in the rear, the rest is tuning.

you also need the pbs front end or alloy front knuckles. and although you dont need them alloy shocks are a great investment

If I was you i'd run the RC18 seems pretty good straight out the box although the steering upgrade would help. I believe the blaze / st is possibly the better of the two however, does require more upgrades straight off which can bump the price up quite a bit. You can always upgrade to the blaze if 18th turns out to be your thing ! There's only 1 RC18 at the club i believe with most others being the Blaze / ST.
