My CRT.5 conversion w/ ET & radar data

[Finnster]

To answer a few ?'s:

The batts trays I made from a project box from Radio Shack. This one I think Had to cut up and mod a bit to fit the batts tight, but works well. Its bolted down thru the chassis holes for the gas tank and engine. Added a couple screws since the vid for more security. Added two more from the top after the tray came apart at end of 60mph vid.

I have the Ofna ext chassis. The limiting factor is width. I chose the 2100 and 2500 batts are they are ~35mm wide. Compared to a 44mm wide lipo, they are much smaller, and fit perfectly on the chassis. I have a 4S 3200 batt for my rustler, and it looked way too big on the chassis, and dangerously overhung on the sides. It wouldn't fit under the std body. The RCM chassis is much wider and will accommodate std 1/10 scale batts, but obviously not the stock body.

I was aiming for lightweight, so runtime is, IDK, 12-15min driving hard. Really depends on driving. I am pretty sure it will do a 15 min race (which was goal) and 100% sure it will do a 10 min race. Bashing lasts a good long time.

The Neus have Kokam taps. The best balancer to get is the Astro blinky. Very simple, but will fit any type of tap out there. I have a hyperion and TP balancer, and an assortment of adapters, but w/ the Blinky I don't need any of all that extra crap and it works well. $25 too.
