Nice work! One day I may end up with a CRT .5, but I may change my mind once I get my eHyper running on 6S A123. :) Really sweet rig there Finn, good to hear it held up to all the flipping with minor breakage. I love those .5's!

Consider 2 pairs of these GRP Park Tires: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMXW1&P=0. They use firm molded foams that have very little ballooning. They are mounted truer than any set of tires I've ever mounted myselft and glued very well too. For $16.50 a pair and pre-mounted you can't loose.

They come in the Associated T4 offset that works perfect with the crt.5. I don't think it has quite as much offsett as the traxxas rims, but they don't have any clearance issues. They do use a pin mount, but I've had better luck with the pins than the hexes. You do have to shorten your pins about 1mm.

I got some ET data for some of the spd runs. Same setup as in the vid, but no radar, but spds are about the same. What is interesting is that the amp draw and wattage is so much lower than when I had mashers on with much lower gearing. Top spd then was only 50 on even with 1400W. Barely a 1000 and it pulls to 60. I could prolly even gear up a bit for a few more mph as I know the setup will handle it.

Here is some ETs for 3s. Top spd was 50mph, Again, amps are pretty low.

Also, notice the little voltage spikes after the big drops from the spd run? I think that is from the motor braking. The graph shows a hard accel from a stand still (ramping up the thr gradually as not to flip,) finally WOT (the big spike halfway thru the peak,) wattage/amps tapering off at full spd, then thr release and coast for a few seconds, then motor brake to stop it. Then repeat. Cool:intello:
