driving inside is not that important and quite a bit of money

i would get the T4....you would have a lot more fun with it especially if you plan on racing.. isnt the RC18t 1/18th scale? If it is thats small, you want something bigger, something you can actually see[

I have both and wouldnt swap them for anything, just went BL, but anyway...If you get the T4 team then you will need to get all the electrics, charger etc, and you will have to be prepared to spend a lot of money on spares/repairs/hopups if your as bad at driving as i am. Out of the box it isnt an incredible basher but it is a great racer and there is now a full range of hop-ups for it. The RC18T on the other hand, needs nothing except 8AA's (and get a good charger as to 10 hour one is *lame*). It is durable out the box, but stock up on Stub Axles and dogbones as these may break-they are th weakest part. It is quick out of the box-knocking 20MPH. it is 1/18th, and can easily be seen. It really depends on what you are going to use it for. Bashing-18T, racing-T4.

if you dont like working on super small cars, go for the t4. i started out in the micro scene and everything is too freaking small to assemble. you want be disappointed with the t4, i have 2 of them and wouldnt trade them for anything

Sleep, I have a Factory Team T4, and I'd happily trade it for something =)

(it's gonna be sold/traded before the season starts, I'm going back to Losi..)

Cuz despite my best efforts to change it, I'm always gonna be a Losi driver. AE is good, but Losi is superior.

Quality is about the same, but I've found that the Losi responds better to my adjustments and my own style of driving. I'm a VERY aggressive driver, and the T4 seems to need to be babied in the turns. The Losi seems to have a wider range of acceptable tuning, where the T4 is too specific. Hard to explain. Long story short, I've got a factory team T4 that needs a home =)
