My CRT.5 conversion w/ ET & radar data

Pics as requested. Couple notes: The tray came apart at end of 60mph video. I used an ABS cement to put the tray together, but it didn't bond well to the plastic. I redid it w/ Gorrilla glue, but rear tray shifted during drying and backend sticks out too much from the side. Fit snug first time (see 1st pics in earlier post) and only over hung by ~2mm. Need to fix this, but, eh works for now. Pic makes the repair look worse than it is tho.

Basically the tray is the project box quartered, slimmed down to 35mm wide, and a single strip of ABS attaching all the quarters together. Thin padding foam from T2 batt tray runs the length. 2 3mm from below, now 2 3mm from top bolting all quarters down for extra strength.

Comparing 35mm wide batt to 44mm ("1/10th scale") batt. 35mm batt is shorter and less wide but taller. Fits better on OFNA chassis IMO.

A few updates:

I fragged my LMT.... :(

I was running very hard in the grass w/ the 18/46 gearing. I should have changed it first, but thought I'd just go for a quick spin and pushed it too hard for too long. One solder trace melted (its not a hi-amp version) and the truck stopped. I fixed the solder traces, but the motor is still cogging. ESC os fine, so motor will need to get repaired....dammit.

On the upside a have a 540 12s that I put in, and so far so good w/ it. Much less TQ than the LMT, but that might be ok given just how powerful the LMT was. The feigao is fast enough but not so wheelie prone.

I also went up to 10K in the diff, 3K diffed out badly. I'm working on doing Go-ride's .5 shock mods bc the shocks are really lacking. Hopefully I'll get it all together for the little RCM mini-bash on June 8th @ barnstormers. Should be fun to run against some other BL CRTs.

Well, went thru a 12S after the 1/8" shaft snapped, then snagged a 50mm 2200 kv medusa, and now I run that on 4s packs. Very nice, and very reliable. Got some 4S 30C 2100 Zippy packs for less than $40 and they freaking rock. Standing backflips easy if you are not careful. Also did the BB shock mod a while back as well. Essential. Led lights were removed in front until further notice. Bad crash damaged one and haven't fixed it yet.

3K front diff/10K/2K
27.5wt oil in Ft on jato pink springs
35 wt in rear on HPI blue springs 71 gF/mm (from hellfire, slightly lighter than the LX1 yellow springs)

Got to race it against RCM Mike and Arct1k's .5s at the barn over the summer. Fun little race, but it was ran with the 12s. The medusa would have been nice for some extra punch, but otoh the setup was very light w/ align 140g 3s 2100 packs.

Race vid:
Also, the UTube link for the 60mph vid got messed. A redo:
BTW, the medusa/zippy is just as powerful. Haven't done a speed run, but the feel is awesome. Love the motor.

ET Data on newest setup: 13/46 gearing on Medusa/4S and Masher tires. 90A peaks on a half spent pack and I was only dropping 2V (3.9V ->3.4V/cell) That's a 43C load!
