i think i willl go for a smaller tire, it eases out the stress for the drivetrain, the single speed tranny is out of stock at this time, can some one tell me any experience for the single speed tranny? yes mine is the extreme bl chassis, i'm gonna order a stiffer spring to take 4 shocks off, i already order the lvc that 's being recommended here, thanks for all the input guys:027:

The single speed is tough. I had a 2250 lehner on it with 26 cells. It would shear the pegs off on the slipper and not break.

The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

There are probably clearance issues with the rear arms and the body. That chassis really needs an extended wheelbase body.

finally got time to do an actual speed test using my garmin gps, finally got the single speed tranny conversion into the truck and four shocks were out this time using just the stock tires (stock tires are 1 lb heavier than my other tires) total of 9 lbs weight overall with my other tires, but 10 lbs on the stock tire ones, top speed was 42 mph, it might go up a little more because the my testing ground is not really very open space with 15/72 gearing c50maxx on my 4s lipo with maximizer diff cup, no heat problems actually runs cool and can be easily get the gear ratio higher for higher top speed but i'm satisfied with the top speed

I've got the same chassis as luvsrc, and I've currently got a LST crowd pleazer body on it. The wheelbase is fine, but the body is very long, high and wide (covers the chassis nicely though). I quite like the look of the new pleazer for the X1 CRT - on paper the specs look good; the wheelbase and width are the same as the LST pleazer, but its much less high and a good deal shorter. Probably gonna look at the CRT pleazer for my next body.
