BL CRT.5 race from this weekend at Barnstormers

[Finnster]

Watch RCM Mike tear us up. lol. Very fun little trucks on the big track. Get a couple more guys on the track and it would be a real shootout. Tough little trucks and inexpensive to run. Currently I got just a feigao 12S on 3S 2500 pack and a sidewinder. Chris and Mike had 2S and an 8L and a medusa 50mm 4800(?) respectively IIRC.

Haha.. no I'm driving the purple/yellow car in 2nd place.
Tony from Crusin' with RC's in Ramsey, NJ was nice enough to take the vid. Lou is the announcer and is always saying something funny.

Sweet! Sorry I missed it. I got my crt.5 ready and everything! I'll be there next time though.

Bye

I assume Mike was running the RCM chassis? Was he running the R1PRO?

Looks like fun! I cant wait to finish my 2nd one!

Mike had a RCM ext chassis and ext arms .5 there (nice btw) but no speed controller to run it on. He's just laying it w/ a bone stock .5. ESC.. I'm not certain, thought it was a MM, but god knows.

I thought he said about anytime now. He could say for sure. He did the Big Bore shock conversion (w/ GTR shocks) as well on it and the nice thing was the longer arms allowed the upper shock mounts to be put into the normal holes instead of forcing them into the body mount holes.

Anyone should def make a trip. Its a heck of a lot of fun and no pressure racing.

ahh ha, I meant to ask you about that. How'd you like it?

[Arct1k]

Ammo 2600 was ok - but didn't have the instant kick I liked.

Soon - Mike was waiting on some custom front turnbuckles for steering arms IIRC. Really the only think needed was for mike to build towers and a front centre diff mount and all you'd need would be diffs cases and hubs :)

It ends up being jato sized.... The really neat feature was he offset the diff like on the 8T so that there is more room for the battery pack...

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Sweet, never heard of the extended arms for the crt.5, anyone got a photo comparison

[maxair45]

Yes does anyone have a photo comparison and a link if possable?

[Finnster]

Sry, had I been thinking I would have snapped one on my cell. Hopefully Mike can throw some pics up soon. They look really great.
