Getting the itch to build something, but what?

[Overdriven]

I'd do the 8T, I liked it alot more than the Revo. But if you decide on getting the revo up and running I'd install a center diff instead of the tranny. Btw, the only Ofna diffs I know of with a 5mm pinion are the LX series. But I doubt the ring gear and diff cup will fit in the RC-M conversion cases.

I do not like the frailty of the arms in particular of that truck hence why she has it now. Even on a 2s set up she manages to do a fair amount of damage.....i keep a spare crt.5 just for parts for her.

The GR Revo is my second choice except I would do a true CD set up.

Good luck!

Like i said i know the 8T will handle it, I beat one all to H#!! running nitro. I raced an O.S. .21 v-spec against .30's and rarely lost.

I disagree with your opinion on the CRT.5, One i had in nitro was a tank, every bit as tough as the 8T, Actually made the 1/8 truggies nervous when i threatened to enter it. Oh! i was running a 5 port o.s .12 tr in it, insane little truck. It is possible converting to brushless might show some weaknesses

If you have it posted here, can you link it to me? Might be interested

Like said earlier figured the 8T might get a few more votes. The reason for running the 2250 in this setup, it should run lower amps. This motor was designed for pushing big boats and possibly 1/5 scale cars, should barely know the 8T/Revo is even there at 4-5s lipo's.

thanks for the input, the 8T will possibly be cheaper to build, only need the motor mount and battery box
