Nice...I just bought a crt.5 myself and am waiting to pick it up tomorrow...With those paddle tires you will kick up some serious rooster tails...:yes:....From your pics, is that the 40mm ext. chassis Mike sells?
I like the body.....:yipi:....and the keg in the background...even the brand!

Yes, its the 40mm ext chassis from RCM, very good quality chassis, I frikin love it. The paddles are for the sand bar at the river, I plan to do some brushless slash smoking with this thing. I all so have some bowties and road tires for this thing. About the keg, I am on a Coors kick for some reason. :lol:

Looks good Chip, I like the paddle tires and the bug body, definately unique! Only thing I would suggest is a Rcm heatsinl/clamp for the 9l. Helps knock a few deg off the motor and will keep it together after a few hard landings. Can't wait to see this in person!

The novak 25mm fans work well for the MM, just use an 1/4 spacer on each screw to give the fan some room to mave air.

Did you do ok in the storm?

Yep, it will need an all over paint job. I need to get a roll pan and some Caddy door handles before you start on it.

If it needs a fair amount of body work we could start while you scare up the parts...

On a side note I just came home from a late night crawling session. My buddy has a buch of big rocks on his back patio, and we were using Erik's crawler and my cr-01 on it! Fun stuff.

It only has four dents, all can be fixed with metal glaze. Noting big just lot of deep scratches from the roof shingles.

Scratches do suck, sounds like most of the truck needs to be sanded and primed before paint. No big deal, Erik works for me now, so he can do the bitch work!!!!!

You know I went to school for 2 years to do paint and body work ? I worked in a body shop for 2 1/2 years and got tired of not making any money, then I went offshore.

You did tell me that, i just remembered! It is hit or miss, I have to work hard somedays just to make ends meet. But it is not too bad. At least I know what I am doing (most of the time)!!!
