Post pics of your electric crt.5!!!! Also your BL setup!
 

I am debating on tires for the crt.5 so I would appreciate a few pictures of your setups! Maybe one body on, one body off and one next to your other rc's?

I will add mine once I get the 17mm adaptors figured out and actually get to run the thing! ( still waiting to order parts..).

Also.. if your on brushless post your motor/controller/batt/gearing. If you know top speed and run time that would be cool :)

I will have mine done in a couple weeks so will add pics/info then. Planning on VXL motor, MM controller on 3s 5000 with varying tires, starting with 11 tooth pinion to see where I stand on gearing.

I would post pics but you can't post duplicate pics. I have many different pics of my crt.5 on here. Pics with slash tires, anacondas, bowties, body on, body off, next to my Revo and I think maybe even one next to my old rustler vxl. I started a thread on here for crt.5 comparrison shots cause so many wanted to see the size difference as did I when I was getting ready to do my build. I run a Medusa 36-50-4800/MM on a 2s lipo with gearing for close to 40MPH. I change the gearing depending on the tires I'm running but generally a 15t with slash tires for bashing, the same 15t with stock bowties yields slower speeds that are prolly decent for a tighter track. If you don't already have the vxl motor save up and get a 3300kv Medusa. Much higher quality motor and it will run a LOT cooler especially on 3s than the vxl motor. My vxl rustler geared for 42 on 2s ran extremely hot, where as my Medusa hasn't hit 130* even if I do back to back runs.

Shouldnt this thread be moved?

Here you go!

Well here goes. My old .5, might have a 3rd one soon if my trade works out. LOL. These things R U L E!

This one had a LRP TC Sphere, Orion 10.5, Futaba S9550 low pro servo, and a TrakPower 2s

Here is the 2nd one. These are pics my buddy took at his house, so its been a while since it was last updated. I need to snap some pics, its right next to me at the moment. The drive line is all done, motor mount is ready to be cut and cleaned up, has a wing, and a few other things

Set up in this one is a KD out runner, 770KV, 4s zippy lipo, side winder esc (with CC BEC) KO 2174 servo.

And then pretty much everything but the diffs have been modded, or changed from stock. And I mean no joke, pretty much the only things unchanged!

May I ask why the front driveshaft is not installed? Also, are you going to replace that motor mount with a noral centre differential mount?

the front driveshaft isnt in because i havent found one that fits quite right.. and for the motor mount ill probley just keep it like that just chop it up so it fits.. :lol:

Haha there you are man!

As Dylan said, we havent found one to fit just yet. And we will chop up the mount and make it look all nice! Just havent gotten around to it

That's the original setup, a 3100kv LMT 1920 on 3 and 4S 2100/2500 packs.
Now I have a Medusa 2200 50mm motor on 4S and that is wicked also. Does about 50mph or so on 4S, using the Neu 2500 pack, and also 4S 2100 Zippy's. Will do a standing backflip easy. I like this setup, small and light and fits on the OEM ext chassis. Also updated is the big bore shock mod. Essential. Very fun little trug, and wicked fast. Very fun in a parking lot w/ buggy tires to really practice driving, but will bash pretty well w/ the mashers. I don't launch it off cliffs, but its been very tough. 1Mx more durable than a little T4 or other 1/10 stadium truck. Fun on the 1/8th scale tracks as well. Short wheelbase is less forgiving than a big 1/8, but forces you to drive better.

4S on the LMT was out of control. Easily 60 mph if I could keep the front down.

60 mph video.

Almost forgot... there can't be too many of these running around.

This is my cr.5 buggy that I did earlier this year for fun. It runs better than any 1/10th buggy I've ever bought. With mike's ext chassis, it can be close to full 1/10th scale.

Nice...I really like the buggy body!

What buggy body did you use ?

I'd like to find a buggy body for the Ofna extended chassis.

Ideas are welcome.

I used a kyosho lazer zx-5 body for it. I also have the ofna ext chassis, so its a good fit. You just need to do some liberal cutting and extend the side walls down about 1 inch (in order to fully cover the chassis). I just used two pieces of scrap from the shell to make the side extensions.

pictures?

Ok Hoover you sleeper......that's an awesome job you did and the scheme is fantastic too

What wheels and tires are those?

^ Academy sbv1 wheels with academy grand prix tires.

Any standard 1/10 buggy tire (fr/rr) will fit on the wheels. I've also got a set of these wheels with proline dirt hawgs mounted for street bashing.

thanks man!
hopefully soon I'll have some time to go to tracktopia and put some laps on it.:yes:

all of my painting has been done around 2-4A.M.:tongue:

everyone but Hoov's looks good. Hoov your's looks like crap, so much so you should give me the entire truck and forget you ever owned it

Hoov that body turned out really nice indeed!!!! I must be riding your coat tails or something b/c I just bought a crt .5 roller the other night after reading this thread. I was serious above when I stated this is next.lol
To make matters worse I will prob go with your suggestion and go with the losi 8ight BL....I need reverse. We will have twin-zee crt .5 and 8ight. I swear Im not stalking you .:lol:

I will post pick as soon as I get my body painted up. I have not gotten it yet tho. Soon very soon. I have been looking at these rigs for a while now and cant wait to run one. Man it HAS to be stronger than running my FT T4.

Can the drive train handle 3s on these little guys. I have a 2s to but I would hate to see the 3s just sit there.

I broke my T4 for the last time a couple weeks ago.....Its going on the bay:mdr:

:rofl::lol::intello::na:


Im planning to run 4s soon...I run 3s now. :yes:

all you need now is the e-revo and a tc4, then we'll be dating. :rofl: :lol:

You know I have been looking for the right TC4 on the bay for quite a while....I even have it on my alerts!! But I am way picky when buying used stuff on the bay. I really only buy NIB stuff or un-ran. 100 mph is soooo tempting with these rigs.

I had been looking for a crt for almost as long as the tc4, but the morning after I read this thread (Im really new to the site I always thought RC monster was just a store) a friend of mine on another site hit me up with his brand new un-ran CRT .5 project. I swooped.

I havent gotten the Monster Truck bug yet....thank God. My pockets are getting shallow.

I do have like 3 really custom Losi Micro BL rigs!!!!:great: And i love them!!
