Aussie CRT X2

Very nice build ...I'm in the process of converting a CRT-x1 truggy...my first conversion......I have the stock tire/wheel combo ..my tires seem a lot wider then yours ,what tire/wheel combo are you running ? i would like to go to the narrower tire like yours....i was afraid to notch my motor mount (same mount as yours ) as i didnt want to weaken it any ,does it seem ok with the notch ?...thank you for the help and any advice ....

No problem notching the mount , just do little at a time until it just clears , there is plenty of meat left on it .

As Arct1k speciified they are stock LPR tires and wheels , they look narrower because they are the largest wheel you can use under the rules so the tire is stretched out more and has less sidewall / tire looks narrower .
Tires are great they work similar to Crimefighters .

Been a while guys so thought i would post a little update , i'll be quick .

Body was done in UpgradeRC custom skins , and i am now running Lucianos 6s esc ( it's running great and if it continues to do so i will be selling my new MMM v2 ) .

I will now be using the X2 as my basher so i might go from a 15t pinion up to 17t or probably 18t as the esc ,motor and battery are staying cool , all between 95 o - 110 o .
Have been using the Zippy 5s 4000mah packs and am very happy and getting 18mins before the lvc on the esc kicks in .


I made a plate for the esc which attaches to the center diff top plate using the existing top plate mounting holes , the esc is then attached with velcro and some zip ties .

That's it for now , oh some pics as well .

Looks good. I hope those capacitors are secured with some kind of tape to keep them from bouncing too much and breaking off.

Done before i ran the esc

You can see the review of it in your thread .

Drift thanks for the compliment , it's quite easy though with the skins .

I'm at about 2 hours 40 mins run time with Lutachs 6S esc and it's running flawless in the truggy , has not broken a sweat and is now the permanent resident esc in the X2 .
If anyone is thinking about his esc don't hesitate , it might be big but i will take that any day if it performs the way it is .

Had a few guys drive it tonight at my mates hobby store and they were all impressed .

Destroyed the 15t pinion i had in it so dropped to a 14t , the esc ran even cooler with the Medusa motor running a bit hotter but still way within acceptable temps.

This being my first 1/8 truggy and coming from a 1/10 off road background i still can't believe how well this truggy handles , and it flies so level and is so easy to correct in the air . I think i was expecting a brushless conversion to be way out of balance .
Haven't even broken any parts yet .

That's awesome. Make some videos if possible.
