AWESOME video! Now I want a CRT.5!

I looks like it kept up with the "big boys" really well!

Wow that is a great video spanked the 10th scale trucks in the turns and huge jumps. :)

You should totally do that. That would be sweet.

Awesome video you found gixxer.

How much could I get for a used rc18mt running a Mamba 6800 and many upgrades and with spare parts? I really want to convert a crt.5. These things are SICK!!!!

[gixxer]

well I just couldn't resist after seeing these conversions. So I ordered one. Now I will just have to figure out what electronics I am going to run. I think I am going to swipe my lrp comp from my xxx-t and probably put a 7.5 novak motor in it.

Then I have to find a servo. Ibjammin how is that hitec working for you? I checked out the 5245 and they are only $40 so I am thinking of trying that.

[IBJAMMIN]

Did you get it from tower? you can get 30 bucks off there price of 275 bucks? the Hitec servo is working great you can put a larger servo in but there almost twice as much money and dont have much more torque then the smaller Hitec servo. :)

[gixxer]

$35 off of the price. They e-mailed me a code.

gixxer - can you PM or post the code? I need to buy something.... A charger or the CRT.5.:027:

Wow, in the 5 spoke video, the main jump was HUGE, but the CRT.5 seemed to handle it and everything else very well....ohh...don't make me buy another car yet :024: , I've got to finish my other ones and get them running properly first :005: .
Yay, tripple didgets (posts).

lol - everytime I see one of those videos with Jammin Jay driving I think the same thing. Too bad I can't post up any video that does the brushless conversion any justice. In fact people probably see mine running and say -wow too bad this guy threw away all that money:005:

Someone just needs to get Jammin Jay to drive a BL converted one...

Hey the Jaco rear foams I found at tower for the Associated trucks work great they bolted right up after I pulled the wheel adapters there the same diameter as the stock tires and just a little wider. :)

[jnev]

Cool! Now I won't have to wear out the dirt tires on my "hope to come soon" crt.5. :dft012:

Do you think you can post the link for the foams and adapters? That would be great. Thanks!!
