getting my rc18b2 soon and just wondering if a 380 motor will fit it?like a novak 3etc,:blush:
if not would a few mods be needed and would it involve chopping the body:woot:

Max motor size without having to dremel the chassis:
diameter 23mm, length 30mm

If you look at Jimmys report on Micro X you can see Krob runs a mongoose system in his Rc18 but uses the truck shell.

I run the Hobbywing 18t combo with B2 shell fitted, see e bay, great set up and only £30 ish pounds! Gear it on a 12-13t and job done!
