WHAT!?!?!?!

I think we should make that a requirement on the boards. You only get limited access to the forums until you actually do one....

I know, I'm not going to baby it, but for a pure beating vehicle I want something with a simpler drivetrain and less parts. Less to break and easier to fix.

I know, I'm not worthy LOL. I planned on converting a buggy, but then when I saw Arct1k's for sale I couldn't pass it up. So now that will change when the CRT .5 gets here.

buggies and truggies have the simplest drivetrains available. the diffs are the same as any other rc as far as simplicity goes. where it gets simpler is the transmission. buggies and truggies run a direct drive center diff. on anything without a center diff, there is a complicated transmission with half a dozen gears to deal with. if you wanted to make the drivetrain simpler on your crt, you could just lock the center diff. if you wanted to make it really simple, you could just lock all the diffs. that way, there would only be 6 moving gears in the entire drivetrain.
