Jammin SCRT10 - Page 3 - RC-Monster Forums

One more thing regarding the shocks. The stock Jammin shocks are the same ones used on the 1/12 scale CRT.5 which are based off of 1/10 scale truck shocks. The Jammin SCRT10 is much heavier than a CRT.5 and most 1/10 2wd trucks. Look at the current SC wheels/tires (Slash sized), they are as big as 1/8 scale buggy wheels and that's a lot of mass for the stock shocks to control. So in my opinion the SCRT10 benefits from larger shocks. Just a few years ago 1/8 buggies ran 13, 14 and 15mm shocks with 3mm shafts now they are running 16, 17, 18mm and larger shocks with 3.5-4mm shafts.

Been almost four months since I updated this post. Lots of upgrades and fine tuning since then. Current setup, MMP, Novak HV 4.5, Elite shock towers, Elite low CoG motor mount, 1/8 Z-car shocks, STRC servo saver, Ofna PBS suspension, T-Bone front bumper.

MMP and Novak HV 4.5

PBS suspension

Ofna optional captured steering links

Elite extended shock towers.

The main weakness on the SCRT10 is the front bumper. It has a tendancy to break the upper mount or the lower part will pull out from the chassis. I am running a T-Bone modded bumper. It mounts under the chassis (which is either good as it acts as a front skid, or bad, because it reduces ground clearence). It has been holding up well so far.

A few more updates:

I have replaced the stock aluminum chassis with a SNR carbon Fiber one. I also removed the larger center diff top plate with a smaller CF plate. I added the PBS front suspension and moved all the electronics to the chassis to lower the CoG. I lost almost a pound from what I was originally running.

I added a Chassis protector film

Mudguards added

Hi all. I'm new to this site. Awsome trucks.
I don't know anyone that's ran a ballistic 550 motor with a novak esc. That hasn't had problems. What speed control are you using. I was using a GTB with a ballistic 550 5.5 After 3 replacements I went to a CC Mamba Max pro and the truck runs like a champ.

I ended up trading my Jammin for a brand new Muggy. It was an awesome truck for sure but I only wanted to bash and not race. I'll have more fun with the Muggy and a CC 1518 motor.

I did end up switching to a MMP ESC after the Novak found a new home. I had problems with the BEC output on it. My Hitec servo apparently didn't agree with the ESC unless I added an external BEC. I traded the ESC and will try my luck with a MMM now.

How much lighter is the snr cf chassis over the stock aluminum one? My truck rtr is a touch over six lbs. Just wondering how much of your pound lost was the chassis and where all the wieght came off thnx.

carbon towers and chassis. CAD designed in Pro/E and CNC machined. 3mm, 1k fineweave carbon and delrin lipo tray.

Nice looking as always ryu. Any chance you would be willing to make another set of those purdy towers?

Thank you, Slim!

Hey! You snuck in mechanical brakes :-)

Any chance you could post up a parts list of what it took to make that happen?
I'm going HV, and want to use mech brakes for tuning and running an air ESC...

i used center diff outdrives from the Jammin CRT .5 as well as the brake calipers. i made some carbon brake discs, but the CRT .5 discs would work also. i used Tekno servo mount, Jammin aluminum center diff mount, and made my own motor mount. works like a charm.

Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it

I thought about using some CF I've got here to make the disc's for the outdrives I have, but I might as well just get parts I know will work

thats a good idea and it works too. before i got the CRT.5 parts i just grond a flat spot on each side of the stock outdrives and then made a carbon disc from 3mm carbon. that works well and its actually alot lighter than the CRT.5 parts cuz they are very large and bulky outdrives. i will take some pics of mine up close and post them in the next day or two.
