Well, I took the CRT.5 to the track tonight. Wow, it's in bad shape - like driving on bumpy concrete! lol. It almost needs more weight. However, the little truggy is quite fast and handles very well, better than I expected actually.

I put 3,000 wt oil in the CD and it seems just right. Doesn't diff out and yet doesn't wheelie (kinda wants to, but doesn't).

However, about 15 minutes into playing, the pinion grub screw fell out so I guess I have to use a little more locktite. :)

The motor and ESC were kinda warm for my liking though. But maybe it was because the pinion was too loose and the motor was spinning too fast relatively unloaded. It's GOTTA be something like that because the Jato runs cool as a cucumber and it's geared higher.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results and it'll be fun to play with this summer. :)
