I actually emailed him wondering about it. He probably won't answer it for another day or so, as he is quite busy... but I don't mind. I am in no hurry. I mainly asked about approximately when it will be out for people to buy.

I e-mailed mike a few days ago about that. He responded yesterday that he would be making a motor mount and a custom delrin spur. Said he needed a couple of days to work out the details and was hoping to possibly finish either the crt.5 or the 8ight-t this weekend.

I tryed the blow test in water and the carb is junk, its leaking around the piece the highend needle goes in. Its ok i run my TR and its more than enough to run hard

That would be SWEET! I was curious if he was going to make a true drop-in replacement or be forced to make a "kit" to replace the needed parts to make it work...

I bet he sells alot of them the CRT.5 is a great kit for brushless conversions. :)

I hope the mount/spur is coming close to production! I just received my crt.5 and 4600 mamba combo today and can't wait for the conversion.

Me too. I also have already recieved my MM 4600, but am waiting to buy the CRT.5 until my rc18 sells on ebay. (should be posting it up tonight)

Has anyone seen this on Ebay....

Pretty useless without a hardened pinion or a plastic spur.
The motor mount is easy, the gears are tricky on that truck.

Exactly what I thought when I saw that.

I like the design of the motor mount, but it is kind of useless, when you'll be buying pinions over an dover again. A plastic spur is really needed.

It's a nice mount I like to top plate but it will have to be modified to get a Kyosho spur to work. To get a mount that is a bolt in will require a offset plastic spur to be able to use the stock diff holes in the chassis sounds like Mike is on the right track the CRT.5 is a great platform for a brushless conversion. I got a chance to get to the track yesterday with mine and it was incredible the CRT.5 turns and jumps great I smoked a fullsize CRT and 1/8th scale buggy that was there. :)
