Thanks.

I have 2 e-crt.5s. One is a monster style with 1/8 shocks and big 2.2 truck tires. The other is pretty stock with stock shocks and tires. The stock one handles great, but you have to keep it really light.

My stock setup is:
Ofna extended chassis
RCM motor mount
Mamba 4600 motor
Castle Sidewider ESC
Maxamps 4200 2S batts (only 220gm)
Stock wheels
Stock shocks

My Monster e-crt.5 is at least a pound heavier and needed the 1/8 shocks to handle to weight. It is also crazy fast and jumps big triples with ease.
