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? |

Outta the two I'd buy a FTX Blaze ST, every time, do it , you won't regret it, ever ever ever ..................

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!

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.
