So the actual diff cup is the same size as the 1/8 scale diffs?

No they are not the exact same size . All the big beval gears are shaved down . They are the same size in diameter as in a 1/8 but are thinner ( shaved down ) . So they have a shallower cup, but not by much.

Got it...Thanks.

One more question...what would be a safe bet for gearing on the CRT.5 assuming I was using 2S, MM, and Neu 1509 1.5D (4500kv)?

I dont know , because this is my first time converting a crt.5. someone else will have to answer that for you.

Thanks Hippie...maybe Brian or one of the other seasoned vets will pick up the question and run with it.

I hope you got your wheel situation squared away (or should I say rounded away)....

Yes id did get it figured out. Who ever said i needed the FR wheels was right. So im going to get either traxxs rims or rpm rims. I also thought about using the B3 wheels that come with the kit. But if i do that the tire width when mounted will be a 1/4 inch narrower. I have to buy new foams because the acetone i used to soak the tires of the wrong rims split one of the foams. so im going to buy firmer foams because to stock foams were extremely soft.
