Do you have a tracking number for the kit?

Mamba Monster looks hot. We have the new Novak HV in stock at the store.

Swamper + 5s = The MAN !!

Nice crt Sir, by any chance do you know the weight of it, pre-vxl system or après ?

nitro_joe 08.19.2008 09:33 PM

I don't have a scale to weigh it. Sorry.

I am glad I took your advice RCShocker! I took the Jammin to our track yesterday and it performed superbly! Cleared the huge doubles with ease. I have 4 3S packs. I'm not even going to bother getting any 2S packs. The motor never got above 115* and the ESC never got above 120* after a full pack.
I have to move the ESC location. I put it right above the center diff with double-sided tape but it only held up for 3 packs. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to mount the ESC?

A 1/8th scale conversion will def be next.

awesome rig but may I suggest lowering the esc.....that esc is famouse for the female plugs coming loose and it dont take much jaring to do it even with the body on....if it sudenly stops working check the female plugs in the esc ..one probably will come loose...its under warranty but a pita to get fixed...........with that said nice choice on the vxl to power your conversion

hmmm nice...about time

I made a plate that attaches on top of the center diff to hold my esc and rx. The location isn't the problem, it's the double sided tape! make a plate out of aluminum and transfer the mounting holes for the top of diff onto it and drill them out, then put the screws through everything. I used velcro and a zip tie for my mm esc and just velcro on the rx. 20+ runs and no problems!

My current setup with the stock chassis just wasn't working out. Picked up the RC-Monster brushless conversion chassis kit - the best mod you can do to the CRT.5 in my opinion.

The Orion Carbon 11.1v 3200 was pretty much made for this battery tray. No more ghetto setup for me.

It came with the chassis. Worth every penny.

nitro_joe 08.24.2008 09:16 PM

LOL - I am in my workshop thinking of what I can sell to fund a 1/8th scale conversion. The Hyper 8 in the store is calling me :intello:
