I still say the Lightning GT10 will fit your bill. Bigger than a crt.5 and for sure bashable. Great little truck.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

What about the new MGT 3.0? I've seen anyone do a conversion on it yet.

The MGT 3.0 looked cool, but I seem to remember looking at the layout when I was deciding on my rustler replacement and thought it might be a bit tight. Was hard to really tell from the early shots I saw, so I'd be curious to see one done.

The GT10 does look nice as well, and the slipper clutch is nice, but it would all come down to the type of driving you do. I don't like to beat the piss out of my trucks, and don't try to jump houses either, and so far they've all done well. The nice part was I put mashers on my CRT for offroading, but also have buggy dirt hogs for road driving or milder off road. I plan to also occasionally take it to the track as well. With the mashers it does really well in the grass and the construction lots I play in. I was blasting it thru the snow here today even. Granted its COG is way higher and drives more like a MT than truggy, but it climbs and bashes great. In truggy mode on the street its a nimble little rocket.

Any of these choices sound good and may just come down to your needs and perhaps available parts from LHS.

That's the first .5 I've seen with mashers. It looks sweet! Does it have the extended chassis?

Judging by the color of the chassis, it seems stock or at least an OFNA one.

Yeah its the OFNA ext chassis kit. Its a great truck. Its a little sad when the diffs on the .5 are bigger than the diffs in my Revo (and a heck of a lot easier to tune.)

Yeah...I love my CRT.5 - its a great little truck. My favorite part is when I absolutely stomp the 1/8 scale buggies both down the straight and through the tight section of the track...and when I only need 1/2 the run up to clear the big jumps hahahaha...
