gotta love mikes chassis.

Thanks but the credit really goes to Mike...I just assembled it.

The tires are Proline 2.2 Dirt Works.

Anyone have a pic with the extended chassis crt.5 next to a 1/10 truck like a T4 or Rustler?

Well...this is the best I can do...I don't have any 1/10 scale cars except for my FLM Maxxs. These are the two projects that I am working right now...just need a few more parts to make them run.

So here are a few pics of my Extended Chassis CRT.5 next to my 1/8 CRT Pro. I have also attached a pic of the Ext CRT.5 next to the body I am planning on using...its a 1/10 scale JConcepts Nitro Rustler body (approx 15.75" long). If you are looking to put a body on the EXT CRT.5, try to find one that is about 14.75" to 15" long...this was the best I could do. I would appreciate any info on 15" long bodies if anyone here knows of any....

Ssspconcepts,

I was thinking of getting one of those Tekno battery boxes for my CRT.5 (RCM ext chassis), but it looks like it sticks out a lot over the edge of the chassis? Does this cause any problems with the body?

Does anyone know if the RCM battery box is narrower than the Tekno?

Go, No it doesnt, the bodies are wide enough to clear the batt tray

I am also going to use a Rustler Nitro body...it has a slight bulge for the exhaust (where the battery tray now is). I had to order some longer body mounts...took forever to find them but I eventually found some that will work.

thanks, looks like the nitro rustler size bodies are a good choice

hippie, are you going to do a EXT chassis?

And how do those tires hook up?

One note on Mike's CRT.5 chassis...its not a big deal, but I did have to dremel grind a little bit around the front dog bone (mainly the ball) that is included with the kit. The main reason is because the dogbone that mike includes in the kit is beefier than the stockers. If you don't have a dremel or aren't handy with one...then you could order a second rear dogbone for about $8 from Ofna since it is exactly the same length as the CRT.5 EXT chassis front dog bone.

I dont know i really like the look right now of the stock chassis. Besides if i get the extended chassis it will be fairly close in size to my full size crt . It will be like having 2 crt's. The tires hook up very very well. I was riding wheeles for at least 10 15 feet, on 2s lipo.

Glad you like the 7s, It was a good motor, my old 7 cell nimh could not keep up though. I recently recieved a hacker 15l motor for my converted Lightning Stadium 10. Should be interesting on 5s lipo! Trying to convert my fleet to 5s or higher. Not sure if all of my 10th scale will need to go to 5s as I have alot of 3000kv or so motors that work great on 3s.

It seems to have more than enough power & top end for me on the street. I'll have to take it to the track when i get my new MM from castle to see if i still feel the same way about it .

Yeah you are pretty darn handy with the kydex...nice batt trays! I wonder if the tekno mount would fit? Not so much for me...but maybe somebody else would be interested in running the stock chassis with the tekno batt mount. I have to say...I really like the smaller footprint of the stock chassis...small but super durable...ready to drive right thru an RC18 or mini-t hahahahahaha

Not sure if the tekno mount would work unless it was stood up . I did that with an emaxx battery tray and it worked fine. Not much real estate on a stock crt.5 chassis for a big battery and tray.
