The UTB18 don’t get enough love. Mine is a monster and it has minimal upgrades. Nice video man 👍👍

Easily the best looking UTB18 I've seen to date dude. I knew you could paint the wheels but I had no idea they'd look that awesome when you did. Looks like I will be painting mine soon!

Nah, forget the 1060 just put a fusion mini 16 in it

@jmckinzmotovlog8757 8 months ago

i bought my first axial scx24 hope to add more of the 1:10 scale

@rcarty419 8 months ago

I did a video few years back with my 1/18 mini Capra based and my sportsman 1/10 againat eachother and I used the Dlux axle shafts and knuckles.
Mini fusion changes a UTB18 make it buttery smooth.
Nice overview.
Will say yours is still to high lower it if you want to do steeps and sidehill.

@ConsciousFractals 8 months ago

That's cool. Liked your approach to breaking this rig down. Explaining your thoughts. Do they make a stronger axle shaft for that, or would you have to upgrade the whole axle?

I installed the Hobby wing 1060 in mine and didn't notice any difference in low speed crawling speed. I remains about same as original esc. Still jerky and too fast with minimal input on throttle. Have any suggeastions?
