I have a radio and a normal size servo (94358z) It says you can use normal servos on the site.
1) I also have a 6900kv Mamba Max esc combo. Will this be fine for the crt.5?
2) What pinion and spur gear do I use? (pitch and brand?)
3) Is there any type of modifications I have to do to the chassis?
4) Will 6 cell nimh fit the chassis?
5) Do I have to buy a 1/10 truck body?
6) What wheels fit?

1. the 6900kv is too hot for the gearing options of this truggy. I would recommend the Mega Car 10 Mike carries with you MM
2. You will need a 1/8" bore Mod1 pinion. Mike carries these pinions in several sizes
3. you should not have to make any chassis mods
4. 6 cells should fit just fine
5. Yes, the stock crt.5 body is too short
6. Mike recommends Traxxas rear rims(wide offset) and 1/10 truck tires
