I had success with an Associated RC10T4 body. All I had to do was cut a notch for for the wing stay. It's a little short in the back, but I like the look. This is my first paint job, so I kept it real simple.
Loving my brushless crt.5! I've learned a lot from lurking on this forum and this is my setup:
- RC-Monster extended chassis and conversion kit
- Mamba Max ESC
- Traxxas VXL Velineon Motor 15T pinion on 2S for track and 3S for bashing (tried Medusa 36-50-4800kv... great motor, but I didn't think it was worth the extra $$$)
- Revo Hard Anodized GTR front shocks with 1.4 Jato pistons and 1.6 Jato blue springs 30wt shock oil (OFNA DM-1s were big improvement over stock, but not enough travel)
- OFNA big bore front buggy shocks in the rear with 50wt oil and soft springs
- Lunsford titanium turnbuckles and hingpins, including 4x23mm upper arm turnbuckle with beefier rod ends (if only I could get a beefier upper arm).
- OFNA CNC alloy knuckles, c-hubs and rear uprights
- 2.2 truck Gladiators (pictures), Bowties and Holeshots on HPI Scorch wheels
- 1/10 scale truggy wing
