So I had some free time yesterday and decided to take my crt.5 down to the lhs to have some fun. After shooting the **** with the owner, something caught my eye. It was a kyosho lazer zx-5 body in the bargin bin. It was only $7 out the door, so why not. I decided to do a little mini project. As you may notice, the body needed some liberal cutting and some other random little mods. I had to install a body post on the rear diff case, and one on the front steering brace to hold the body on. If you look closely you will also notice that the body is raised about 2cm from the bottom of the chassis. This was unavoidable. The motor and center diff prevent the body from sitting fully slammed, so I ended up adding some scrap lexan to the bottom in order to "fill" in the gap. I still need to paint it. It should blend in very well once its painted. I finished it off with a set of Academy SBV2 buggy tires I had sitting around.
Here's the result. My Jammin crt.5 is now a Jammin X-1 cr.5
I wonder if they will let me run with the 1/10th 4wd electrics? I could literally drive right through them with this buggy.
Hope you enjoy!
