The CRT uses 43/10 truggy doesn't it?
How much throttle were you using, because I put your setup into the calculator (with 43/10 diff ratio) and it says your geared for a theoretical top speed of close to 80mph! It looked like it still got of the line pretty quick, so it would be interesting to see what speed it could actually reach.
Those mail boxes you guys have in America look scary. In my part of Australia you never see mail boxes any closer than about 3m (~10ft) from the edge of the road, usually even a bit further. There's still wheelie bins once a week though. Don't let other people drive your brushless mini-t on bin day.

I was barely on the trigger! I will probably go down a few teeth on the pinion as it was cogging a little. Diff gears are 43/13 same as the buggy!
And yes the mailboxes do scare me too! This is West Virginia...and we are all hill billies here...most times the mailman will just drive up in the yard or throw our mail to us as we are drinking beer on the front porch! But seriously...back when I was into 1/10 scale stadium trucks, I hit one going abot 60mph...instant taco. Parts blew eveywhere....it was a fine waste of a Losi XXX-T MF2 kit.
