I dont know , because this is my first time converting a crt.5. someone else will have to answer that for you.

Thanks Hippie...maybe Brian or one of the other seasoned vets will pick up the question and run with it.

I hope you got your wheel situation squared away (or should I say rounded away)....

Yes id did get it figured out. Who ever said i needed the FR wheels was right. So im going to get either traxxs rims or rpm rims. I also thought about using the B3 wheels that come with the kit. But if i do that the tire width when mounted will be a 1/4 inch narrower. I have to buy new foams because the acetone i used to soak the tires of the wrong rims split one of the foams. so im going to buy firmer foams because to stock foams were extremely soft.

I like RPM rims...I use Rit clothing dye to color them to match my paint scheme...works like a charm and looks great.

I just completed my crt.5 & took it out for it's first test run. It's a quick little sucker

. They are very responseive compared to the bigger cars & trucks. So far im vey happy & excited about it. Im going to fully charge my lipo's tonight & give it another shot tommorow. Pics to follow.

What color springs is everyone running ?. I have the stock gray right know but i think i may need the blue medium springs, because of the weight of the lipo.

I started having issues with my new MM today.When i pulled the trigger the car would take off, then it seemed like it would cut on & off rapidly i tried reprogramming it that did not help. So i called castle Thomas helped me diagnose the possible problem. After checking it with another motor it did the same thing. so he said the esc was the problem . So he is sending me a new one. This was only the second time i used it. He also said that usually if a esc is not going to work properly it will usually happen in the first couple of uses.
