I also have had them both, 2 year ago for Xmas I got everything to make my pede all FLM, MM, batts ETC After I put over 1500 into that truck, it still bored me, so I sold it to help my racing funds

This Xmas I got a CRT.5, Mikes chassis/motor mount kit, a bunch of parts for it, and some racing stuff, I could have a EXT .5, with a NEU, or LMT motor, ESC, and lipos for about 700 bucks, and this thing is the funnest car I have had in a while, it handles like is on rails, it takes all the bumps, to big 15ft jumps to sweat, and its really tough, and doesnt get stuck where my pede used to get stuck..

I would MUCH rather have my .5 over a pede
