Anything new MM?

I broke the upper and lower right front arms on Saturday after work when I clipped a wall going ~20mph (trying to get around parking blocks quickly, but wasn't paying enough attention). Other than that, it's been running great so no need for any improvements

Cool!

Any more pics?

MetalMan · 12.03.2007, 04:55 PM

Nothing has changed since the pics in post #14 on the first page of this thread. Are there any specific angles or views of something in particular that you would like me to take?

More pics of it with the body on would be sweet

MetalMan,

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?

Oops, my bad this was supposed to go on ssspconcepts crt.5 post. I'm looking at too many posts at one time. Of course if anyone has an answer to my question it would be appreciated.

Laying the battery flat on a CRT.5 will pretty much always result in it hanging off the chassis a bit if you're using some sort of battery holder. My custom chassis has about 3/4" more width to mount the battery than the stock chassis does, yet it still hangs over just a bit. I couldn't say if that's the case when using the RCM chassis and Tekno or RCM battery holder, as I don't own any of those

MM, how long is that pack in mm's?

MetalMan · 12.03.2007, 09:49 PM

It's about 140mm.

Hmm, ok

Thanks =)

I am using the tekno battery tray and 1/10 scale Rustler Nitro body (it has a small bulge for the exhaut pipe where the battery now is). I haven't got the body mounted yet...I had to order some longer body mounts...but it should work out. Check my picas link if you are interested...or I can post some pics if you like.

The body shown in the pics on the first page is a Proline Crowd Pleazer for a Nitro Rustler. It fits on the stock body mounts, just needs to be trimmed a bit. Looks good when trimmed to fit, IMO.

OOPS!! I missed it! Hey that is a nice fit...It looks a little shorter than the rustler body I got.
