To get the wheels spinning Dromida has equipped the DB4.18 and DT4.18 with a quick, M370 size brushed motor. Even though the driveshafts are plastic they are all kinds of durable and are more likely to flex than snap or break. Should you so desire, the diffs can be tuned to your liking with thicker or thinner grease. Gear diffs require less maintenance than ball diffs so you’ll be able to enjoy lots of track time before a standard rebuild. Both the front and rear differentials are of the gear variety and are loaded with grease from the factory. Speaking of the spur gear, it and the pinion gear are well protected from dirt and debris with a gear cover to reduce the chance of failure. Nothing else is needed to get the wheels rolling.īoth vehicles are 4WD and feature a spur gear that connects to a light plastic shaft to deliver power to the front and rear of the vehicle. What’s in the box? Everything you need to have hours of fun! Well equipped vehicles, a 2.4GHz radio that even has dual rate adjustments, battery pack, charger and “AA”s for the transmitter.

It also features a platform to mount an ESC or receiver in case you decide to upgrade the electronics package. The upper deck attaches at the front and rear diff cases and aids in reducing front/rear chassis flex. Remember, not all chassis flex is bad and in fact, it helps increase traction. The lower composite plastic deck incorporates a portion of the spur gear cover and features a center channel to help reduce front/ back flex while still allowing for some side-to- side flex. The backbone to the 4.18 platform is the dual deck chassis. This piece, made of aluminum, is less likely to fail than the stock plastic unit that it replaces and won’t develop slop nearly as fast. The front end on most vehicles takes the majority of abuse in crashes and this develops slop rather quickly.
The key to motor longevity is keeping it cool and that is exactly what this easy-to-install piece does.
