Looks like a good deal. We're just in the process of getting our little beastlets ready for the microchallenge, will you be entering? I'm looking forward to it, although I highly doubt that my driving skills will be any better for the little beast than with the B4, should be fun though.
I fancy taking mine down to the Batley outdoor track sometime to see how it goes, seeing as I have only tested it on the kitchen floor so far.

I got an RC18T, wasn't too impressed, I got a Tamiya GB-01 truck, far more fun indeed, and handles better.

You will need the bottom ones.

I use stormforceracing cells in all my cars i use these in my mini lst and they are amazing. And neil is a very friendly chap. I race with him (well atempt to race with him cus he is alot better than me) But neil knows his stuff with cells trust me these cells are awsome you will need them in a side by side formation. Like this [][][][][][] so if you tell him this he will make them up in that formation.

Hope this helps

A

Try these, loads of add on bits for RC18's on this site. If you have the std chassis you can run either config of batteries.
