Sucker for a good deal...CRT 1X
 

Well thanks to Arct1k in the good deal thread I found another project I couldnt pass up...is it worth the $150 I paid?...came just like you see it with a body also....tying to deside if I should put the 1515/2.5d/s in this on 6's with my new MMM I have coming and use my Medusa 36-60-2000 in my erevo with the mm on 4's or vice versa.....looking to race and sometimes bash ans sometime speed runs....I ran BrianG script on this CRT with the 2.5d on 6's with 48/14 and it seems to scream....can you tell by the pictures what spur I have? and this has no tranny?...is this like direct drive?

give me some input please like esc placement

I have only experience with traxxas products (revo's, emaxx, stampedes,rustlers, bandits) and I must say this ofna is a horse of a differant color....the construction as I'm sure you know is mostly metal and everything looks much more .....shall I say professional looking

This is a centre diff - i.e. on Brians script direct drive 1:1.

The ESC should mount up directly on the top plate - That is what the tail is for.

Just count the spur....

It does need some cleaning up - the rx/sevro plate is a bit messed up - you don't need the CF and mikes support.

Also seems to be a random nitro motor mount left in place.

Worth getting the side pods but a good deal for 150

that is a hell of a truggy, and for 150$ thats a steal, i run the 1515 1y in mine and love it, tons of power, o and the stock spur is 62t dunno if thats the stocker tho

I think you got a deal the conversion pieces new would be close to what you paid..

I have and 8ight I just finished and I run a 1515 2.5 on 5s and have a had blast with it.. I run also run a 46t kyosho gear in my center diff...

that looks like the stock center spur which is 66 teeth

WOW..:surprised: Looks like a great project.. :party: Keep the updates coming..

Steal of deal.. Great find / buy..:yes:

Nice deal. :)

I remember that was my toughts when I got my 1st nice non-TRX RC. Wow, everything is metal and so tough. Granted I still had a lot of fun w/ my Revo, but makes you realize how cheezy some of the TRX engineering is after you've played with something else.

yes it looks real stout....I think i'm going to run this with my medusa 60/2000 on 4's with mm/bec....can anyone suggest gearing to get it to 45mph?

thats a steal of a deal and yes thats the stock spur gear its a 62 tooth spur gear. my only recomendation for that truck is king headz steering top plate. the carbon fiber one is weak.

on 4s with a 18 tooth pinion it says a top speed of 43.67

thats weird I did it and got 47.63 with MT crimefighters with .25 ballooning

on 6's it says 71mph holy bajeeesus

yea i run a 13t with my 1515 1y its about 40 mph, it wierd tho, faster than what the calc say

:surprised:
That's a hell of a deal!!!
If it was me I'd put the Medusa in the E-revo and the Neu in the CRT. Also, try and gear for low 40's. Anything higher will be high temps!

Also, lost the CF radio tray, that little fiberglass piece to the left of the radio tray, and it seems that next to the battery box there is a stray nitro motor mount there... Take that out as well.

ok she made the maiden voyage tonight....I stuck my Feigao 9l with a mm geared 14/62 and ran it on 4s...what an awesome machine my son driving me taking video...check it out...only his third time on the track

click here

man that track looks like alot of fun

yes the lanes are real wide also........the track is huge

and heres the best part.........it was built by my neighbor on his land and its around the corner from my house maybe two miles from me

1.5d??? im a truggy? your nuts lol, i couldnt keep mine cool in a buggy

it is!

I only had time to take a few laps today before we ran out of daylight, but man....its awesome.

The CRT runs very well too. Nice clean layout.

His son will run even better now that we sorted out the steering issue.
(transmitter settings a bit off)

I cant wait to get back out there.

thanks again for the invite Nick!

no problem Jarad..will be calling you this evening to go to the track again...why didnt you tell them you cleared that tripple with your e-revo (we all cheered)

btw I messed up (too many damm motors and trucks) this video was with my feigao 9l...all other info is correct

i could only pull it off once...lol....
that track is awesome.

your boy had a rough go with his MM today ;

casper came out...weird because his temps were about 120-130F every time we temp checked.

BUT I don't see an extra cap - The MM really needs one for 1/8th scale use - I had three toast without one...

hmmmmm......dont ever remember reading that anywhere.....is there a thread on the proper way to do this?

a thread i started awhile ago went down that road...
maybe it will help;

You stole that crt! hopefully some day soon I will have something to drive and can get you your guys way!

I ran an MM in my revo with no extra cap for 100 plus hours and never temped over 125 or had issues. bec + fan and it ran great!

no problem man....great if you can come up any time you want...more racers=more fun

what motor and gears on that revo?

he was using a neu 1515/1Y geared for about 40

did I smell something?......hell yes...he brought the truck home and it smelled real badddddd:whip:

new jconcepts high flow body and new paint job....this rig just went on ebay as a brushless roller
