CRT X2 project

[joeling]

Gentlemen,

Inspired by droopy & recent success in converting a CR X1 buggy, I've decided to embark on a truggy conversion. Oh also I'm having a lot of fun driving my Thunder Tiget ST-1 pro truggy with a nitro GO 25 Turbo head. Very fast, power & handles better than a buggy over the rough stuff & jumps (i.e. easier & more forgiving - perfect for an "expert" driver like me).

Anyway, I have a kit on the way from my LHS. Should be here next week. I have ordered a blue Neu 1515 2200KV motor. I intend to run 5S using a Mamba Monster.

I have also consulted someone in the know as to whether there is any difference between the center diff mount of th X1 & X2. Apparently, the X2 sports a smaller center diff - 48T ! This is the same as the buggy. So, now I'm thinking how to proceed as I have emailed Monster Mike for a CRT mount. Maybe I should change & order a buggy mount ? Decision decisions...

I will likely use a PQ 5S 6000mah 25C lipo. In addition, I'm also thinking of using mechanical brakes as well. What do u think ?

Gearing will be 13/48. Not sure what is the stock clutch bell size...

Here are some pics I found :
