Jconcepts gt2 body on CRT .5
 

got a new body for the little ripper!!

fit ok but had to cut out the rear shock tower area to get the body to fit low enough, also couldnt use the rear wing

i also used some bolink on road body posts i modified them to give extra height for the body

here it is......:yipi:

btw....i still need to get some 1/10 truck size tires, the ones in the pic are the stockers

ya if you had bigger tires on there the truck would look freakin awsome.

sweet body though!

Thanks, i will be getting some new shoes for it soon, i used all my $ for a xt8 off ebay, so it will be a little while, but im in MN. so there is snow every where here now and cant bash

isn't it a tiny bit out of proportion?

the buggy tires really need to be replaced with 1/10 truck tires

unfortantly there arent many 1/10 scale bodies that really fit the ext. chassis

why couldnt u use the wing?

will look awesome with 4in tires =)

the back end of the body hangs off the back to far, and high

RCM Mike uses the normal gt body, so I dont see why the jc one wouldnt work....

i fits ok, but i could have had less issues if i would have mounted the body farther forward, but i wanted the wheel wells to line up as much as possible

the hood scoop made it diff. to mount the front so i added longer body posts all the way around

and yes, it will look much better with truck tires, i may also try a buggy wing mount, the crt positions the wing about 1" back from the rear axle so i would have to cut a huge part of the body out

Buggy mount?

Does it fit?

dont know if it will fit, and if i could get the crt.5 size wing on it, but i will try the one off my truggy when it comes, will more than likely look out of place(size)

I pmed you

Actually, at the bash, Mike had a PL crowd pleaser T4 body(shock tower bumps are in a different location than a rc10gt body). The shock tower bumps in the body lined up so you did not have to cut your body and the wing still fit.

Bye:mdr:

He told me he has been using a RC10GT body...

You sure its a CP?

Well, I have a rc10GT CP, and it really doesn't fit(have to cut holes for the shock towers to stick through). Also, the one Mike has in the pic looks different than the one I have too... and yes I'm sure its a CP....

Bye:mdr:

what ever body is on it looks much better then what i am running

i have been checking the wheelbases and it look like the losi mf electric is the closest to the right length, but i had already bought this body off ebay

this was meant to help others make body choices and see what can be done to make them fit

I dont know... Whatever it is, it looks awesome

it looks great, any word on how the mega motor is working out for this truck

Heres what the monster said to me via email:mdr:

great option when my 9l goes south , thanks for the info

No, that motor is 4580KV

Its a 2s motor really

opps!

i did run my hvmaxx 4.5(4800kv) motor in my crt.5 on 3s!!! it was nutz

its hard to see but here is a quick vid of it

But thats a XL size can, the mega motor is a S can really....

You could try, but I think it would run hot

I'm gonna be getting the ofna ext. chassis, and was curious what body people are running with it? i saw that jconcept and proline both make bodies for this truggy, but was just curious which one is better or rather which one is more durable?

So far on the jammin chassis, the body of choice is the new RTR body because its longer (the RTR comes standard with the ext chassis)

so i guess the proline or jconcepts wont really fit well on the ext.?

I know the ofna one does from reading in the .5 thread at rc tech....

I have no clue on the JC body, but I believe its short (normal size)

Proline XXX NT body fits pretty good. The shock towers line up, no need to move body mounts, the front bumper supports the body perfectly.

Can't use the rear wing without hacking the body, I just ditched the wing and use the little plastic 10th scale one. I'd like to put on a scale wing.

the front wheel wells do need to get trimmed out. I'll get some pics up if I can. I'm not where my pics are right now...

got some tires finally, 30 series,and made a battery hold down for my 5k packs, doesnt do this chassis justice, i also moved the body to allow use of the wing, will get a diff. body as soon as i beat this one up a little, i think i will get some road tires as well
