Looks fast! It's funny to see that little thing zooming around compared to the bigger 8 and 10 scale vehicles, lol.

IBJAMMIN 04.17.2007 01:34 AM

It's a little harder to see better then the RC18's though. :)

I need to get some foams for it and try the 44t spur with a 4s pack and see how fast this thing can really go.:005:

I think this is the prefect size car parts are alot cheaper then the 1/8th scale stuff and there avalable when the kit was released WOW what a novel concept I wish Associated would have thought about that before releasing the RC18R I'm still waiting for parts and that was 4 mo ago :mad:1

that looks great. I hope they make an electric version. If not I will just have to do what you guys are doing and convert one. That probably wont be for awhile though, cause i am going to try 8th scale for the summer.

I too think it's the PERFECT size. Small enough so it's light and parts aren't stressed as much, but big enough where you can put a standard motor on there and still have room for many battery options. I was also impressed at the build quality and the fact that it uses some 8th scale parts (diffs).

have you got yours running yet Brian?

BrianG 04.17.2007 10:43 AM

Yup, I have all the pics in my thread. I plan on taking it to the local track today to get some playtime. :)

Yep I have been here for awhile LOL

I have a full size CRT conversion also just waiting for the MMM ESC or a software update to run the Neu motor. :)

neweuser 04.17.2007 04:35 PM

I really like the CRT conversions, they are really nice IMO. Have you ran the MM in there yet? Why not a Quark? My Quark and neu run real cool on 4s...

IBJAMMIN 04.17.2007 05:44 PM

I almost went with the Quark ESC for the CRT but with the Monster Max coming out soon I figured I would wait plus the firmware update that has never came to run multi pole motors with the Mamba Max ESC? I did try the Mamba ESC but could never get rid of the cogging issue it runs great but getting it to go from a stand still was the problem with a 10lb truggy. :)

Cool video. Looks like the crt.5 is so much fun.

A couple days ago I was think about if I can have any two rc's... what would they be. I knew I wanted a truggy, but I wanted them to be similar and from the same company. I thought of a brushless CRT and a brushless CRT.5. And then it turns out you have both. :027: Oh my, are you lucky.

IBJAMMIN 04.17.2007 08:26 PM

I think I found some Jaco foams for the CRT.5 there made for the Associated gt t4 and t3 trucks but the size is 3-3/8"od and 1-7/8" wide Tower has the wrong pick but they should bolt right on with a shorter drive pin my GT tires would bolt right on. I'm going to have to get some and see. :)

IBJAMMIN 04.18.2007 07:33 PM

All I gota say is WOW the motor is starting to breakin this thing is a rocket on 3s we clocked it at 56mph with the radar gun and it handled great at speed it just keeps getting faster with every pack.:018:

I think i'm going to have to get another one and convert it over to a speed car with a Neu or LMT motor and go for the 1/12th scale speed record at the worlds fastest RC contest in July.:032:
