She goes pretty well on 2s, but I will upgrade to 3s soon! I was a little skeptical of dying the rims, but I am glad I did.

Hey Magman, it was white rims before?

I've a set of white rims here for my revo and i was hesitant to dye it in black, i was fear to see it gray to the place of black, but..WOW!!!!!!!! realy good result, i'll dyed mine for sure.

Your crt.5 is very beautiful

David, Thanks! I was a little nervous to dye them, but after some good advice from the forum members, I decided to try it. I left them in the dye for 1 hr. I used almost a whole bottle of dye..probably a lot of waste, but, for a $4- bottle of dye, it was worth the end results.

Don't forget to put a little white vinegar into the water before heating the water. The vinegar opens the pores of the plastic. A tip from another member. ( I used a total of 4-5oz. total )

Which kind of dye have you use?? Liquid or powder one??

Nice looking crt.5 there! The wheels look great. I have the same tires on my .5 but used the boring looking traxxas wheels... Those laced spoke wheels look soooo much better. Must be reasonably light with your setup, probably handles well!

Magman,

Your CRT.5 looks awesome. I'm in the process of upgrading my e-crt.5 to a MM, Medusa 3300, 3S Lipo. I'll let you know how it drives.

How's the new RCM chassis? Is it longer than the last version?

[magman]

The chassis is the current 40mm ext. chassis. Once Mike comes out w/the newest one,...it will be on my x-mass list!

The only down side is having to repaint a new body...I HATE painting bodies!

[magman]

I really want a 1509 in it, but, $ is tight right now.
