CRT .5 has arrived... - Page 2 - RC-Monster Forums

I actually emailed him wondering about it. He probably won't answer it for another day or so, as he is quite busy... but I don't mind. I am in no hurry. I mainly asked about approximately when it will be out for people to buy.

I e-mailed mike a few days ago about that. He responded yesterday that he would be making a motor mount and a custom delrin spur. Said he needed a couple of days to work out the details and was hoping to possibly finish either the crt.5 or the 8ight-t this weekend.

I tryed the blow test in water and the carb is junk, its leaking around the piece the highend needle goes in. Its ok i run my TR and its more than enough to run hard

That would be SWEET! I was curious if he was going to make a true drop-in replacement or be forced to make a "kit" to replace the needed parts to make it work...

I bet he sells alot of them the CRT.5 is a great kit for brushless conversions. :)

I hope the mount/spur is coming close to production! I just received my crt.5 and 4600 mamba combo today and can't wait for the conversion.

jnev · 04.27.2007, 11:38 PM

Me too. I also have already recieved my MM 4600, but am waiting to buy the CRT.5 until my rc18 sells on ebay. (should be posting it up tonight)

Pretty useless without a hardened pinion or a plastic spur.
The motor mount is easy, the gears are tricky on that truck.

Exactly what I thought when I saw that.

I like the design of the motor mount, but it is kind of useless, when you'll be buying pinions over an dover again. A plastic spur is really needed.

It's a nice mount I like to top plate but it will have to be modified to get a Kyosho spur to work. To get a mount that is a bolt in will require a offset plastic spur to be able to use the stock diff holes in the chassis sounds like Mike is on the right track the CRT.5 is a great platform for a brushless conversion. I got a chance to get to the track yesterday with mine and it was incredible the CRT.5 turns and jumps great I smoked a fullsize CRT and 1/8th scale buggy that was there. :)
