My RC-MONSTER ext chassis pics

here is what i had waiting for me when i got home!



over all new chassis length



the battery hold down didnt fit my 5k 3s maxamps the top strap , which is so beautiful is about 1" to short, and my pack would have hung over the edge,so for now i am using the battery hold down i had on the first version





cant wait to try it out, still need a 1/10 body and 2.2 tires, thanks RC-MONSTER Mike and BP-REVO this chassis is sweet!

heres a shot of the battery strap

This is truely amazing!

However, I think Mike should make some wider lower and upper arms for the CRT.5 to make it a real 1/10 scaled truggy.

Wheather aluminum or plastic, it does not matter.

Mike, any plans on wider A Arms?

i emailed mike and he is going to make me a longer strap

should of known he would do this, he is the man

Looks great!! Is there an extra hole to put the pin sticking up that the longer aluminum strap goes on?

I hope you like it. I haven't driven a stock lengthed CRT.5, but I imagine that this one is much more stable.

As for Mike making you a longer strap, I'm not surprised at all - he is the man for sure.

I hope he makes a few extra. I'd like to run full length RC batts.

What top are you going to run on the extended chassis?

jnev : the chassis has multiple locations for the posts(look at first pic), i just needed to let mike know what the new length would be

bp-revo : it was a little squirly with the short chassis so this will be a great improvement, plus it will jump better

as for the body ..... i was thinking about a proline desert rat for the rustler, but i will probably just get what ever the lhs has on hand .... it looks as if they will all mount up pretty easy

[BP-Revo]

Pretty much any 1/10 truck body should mount up ok. The Jato body was actually a bit long, but Jato uses bodies about 3/4 inch longer than the average 1/10 ST.

I think Mike recommends using off-set rims to add the extra width needed to get the correct proportions. Its good of him to make a longer battery hold-down, though those 3s batteries are rather huge even for the extended crt.5- not short on go-juice I imagine.....

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

What pinion and spur are you using? (As in what brand and what pitch etc.)

[captain harlock]

Mike told me a while ago that the extended arms for the CRT.5 are in his planning list.

That sounds great, IMO!!!

15/46

rc monster hardened mod 1 gears, no wear on it yet

will also be getting a 13 and a 14 tooth gear

the arms sound cool!!
