Not positive there....

But I think its smaller

Thanks. I ordered my truck a couple of days ago...just curious what to expect.

No they are not the exact same size . All the big beval gears are shaved down . They are the same size in diameter as in a 1/8 but are thinner ( shaved down ) . So they have a shallower cup, but not by much.

Got it...Thanks.

One more question...what would be a safe bet for gearing on the CRT.5 assuming I was using 2S, MM, and Neu 1509 1.5D (4500kv)?

I dont know , because this is my first time converting a crt.5. someone else will have to answer that for you.

Thanks Hippie...maybe Brian or one of the other seasoned vets will pick up the question and run with it.

I hope you got your wheel situation squared away (or should I say rounded away)....

Yes id did get it figured out. Who ever said i needed the FR wheels was right. So im going to get either traxxs rims or rpm rims. I also thought about using the B3 wheels that come with the kit. But if i do that the tire width when mounted will be a 1/4 inch narrower. I have to buy new foams because the acetone i used to soak the tires of the wrong rims split one of the foams. so im going to buy firmer foams because to stock foams were extremely soft.

I like RPM rims...I use Rit clothing dye to color them to match my paint scheme...works like a charm and looks great.

I've been using rit dye for years :smile:.

Good News
 

I just completed my crt.5 & took it out for it's first test run. It's a quick little sucker :lol:. They are very responseive compared to the bigger cars & trucks. So far im vey happy & excited about it. Im going to fully charge my lipo's tonight & give it another shot tommorow. Pics to follow.

What color springs is everyone running ?. I have the stock gray right know but i think i may need the blue medium springs, because of the weight of the lipo.

I started having issues with my new MM today.When i pulled the trigger the car would take off, then it seemed like it would cut on & off rapidly i tried reprogramming it that did not help. So i called castle Thomas helped me diagnose the possible problem. After checking it with another motor it did the same thing. so he said the esc was the problem . So he is sending me a new one. This was only the second time i used it. He also said that usually if a esc is not going to work properly it will usually happen in the first couple of uses.

Thats jolly sporting of them - I've just had to send two MM and a ubec into them for service :(

But the up side is the last one i sent in is on its way back! :)

It really is. they are sending me a new MM without me having to send my bad one in first. they are also including a pre paid postage label for me.

CC is nice. :angel:
