My first brushless conversion.

Nice...I just bought a crt.5 myself and am waiting to pick it up tomorrow...With those paddle tires you will kick up some serious rooster tails.......From your pics, is that the 40mm ext. chassis Mike sells?
I like the body.........and the keg in the background...even the brand!

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

Yes, its the 40mm ext chassis from RCM, very good quality chassis, I frikin love it. The paddles are for the sand bar at the river, I plan to do some brushless slash smoking with this thing. I all so have some bowties and road tires for this thing. About the keg, I am on a Coors kick for some reason.

I also have a yearning for Coors light... which is my drink of choice...

Looks good Chip, I like the paddle tires and the bug body, definately unique! Only thing I would suggest is a Rcm heatsinl/clamp for the 9l. Helps knock a few deg off the motor and will keep it together after a few hard landings. Can't wait to see this in person!

The novak 25mm fans work well for the MM, just use an 1/4 spacer on each screw to give the fan some room to mave air.

Did you do ok in the storm?

Yep, it will need an all over paint job. I need to get a roll pan and some Caddy door handles before you start on it.
