Here’s some awesome news from Team AE. They are putting out 2nd editions of their popular RC18B and RC18T, based on the new belt driven chassis that is used by the SC18 and RC18LM. The cool thing about this though is that it’s a kit and parts are included to build either vehicle. So you buy one [...]
The Losi Highroller family is now complete. Take your pick and get it in 1/10th scale, 1/36th micro scale, or in the new 1/18th mini scale.

RC Driver, issue 73 (Jan 2010), page 120. Tony Phalen has a two page preview of the SC18. He’s pretty excited about it and there is definitely a hint that it will be out before Christmas but no price point as of yet. Hopefully less than $200.
There’s quite a few differences between the SC18 platform [...]
