Team XRay M18MT Kit Build and First Impressions

Friday, April 24th, 2009

I recently acquired a Team XRay M18MT + Power Pack kit from Hobby Extreme in Red Deer. (Thanks Tim!)  It is the old model that still had the Pro-Line Cadillac Escalade body and Masher style tires as opposed to the new kit that has the Pro-Line Hummer body and step-pin style tires. Everything else in this kit is absolutely identical to the kits sold today. 

I’d previously built an XRay M18 Pro so the build was very familiar.  XRay uses the same basic parts for their entire 1/18th (M18) line.  The main differences between each model is the main chassis, a-arms, and driveshafts.  All XRay M18s use the same adjustable ball differential/shaft drive set up that makes for a very smooth drivetrain and snappy acceleration.  The M18T and M18MT have very few differences.  The M18MT differs by having larger wheels than the M18T, four shock towers and eight shocks as opposed to having two shock towers and four shocks on the M18T, and the M18MT forgoes the roll bars so as not to affect ground clearance.
