My converted CRT

I bought this off a nice guy on here, nl12, and I'm already in love with it. It's fast, sleek, and has a stealth like theme goin' on! I have a stock lid that I need to lay some paint with but I plan to get a nice custom lid done in the future. I've put a protective layer on the chassis and arms to keep the anodizing in good shape. So far it's done a good job, we'll see how well it holds up. This is not a bashing truck, just running it in grass and stuff. I might run it in sand but that's doubtful. I'll be getting a 2nd truggy for that kind of stuff, possibly another CRT but we'll see.

I think I like black....hmm...

Here it is after being loaded up with my MM/9XL on 4S and Spektrum. I want to get a Castle BEC, I don't like this Starluck unit. Other than that this thing is awesome. Runs so smooth and handles awesome. I want to hit the track soon.

that is very nice!!!

Darn i regret no picking up that one...

Thanks Arct1k :)

It's a blast to drive, but I want more power. Someone asked how I kept the protector on there. They're sheet protectors from Office Depot. Box costs about as much as a single Associated sheet and they work great.

thanks for the info, i will be trying it

I really like those tires. What kind are they?

They are Proline Badlands MT tires. They're very nice for bashing and last a long time.

Nice jammin! What bumper is that? thx

I'm pretty sure it's a Jammin buggy bumper. I like it a lot more than the stock bumper.

Nice truggy! man, ur makin me miss my crt. :cry::cry: Let me know how those maximizer rims hold up for you. The couldn't take my jammin without losing the tire beads no matter how careful I was at mounting.:neutral:

Yeah they were kinda hard to mount, which is another reason I made the switch. They're also pretty heavy, and more suited for a crawler, which is where they are now :yes:

Thanks for the compliment :yipi:

Nice job on those badlands and the LPR wheels

What foams did you use? The regular foam? Have you run the badlands that way yet? How do they handle?

Thanks! I used the regular foams and turned them inside out to trim them down. Haven't run them yet, still gluing them and am almost done.

Can you help me?

If you don't mind, what pinion and spur set up were you running with your 9xl. I have a 12/46 and it gets way hot at 10 minuets. thanks man

The center diff was changed over to a CR setup and I believe it's a Kyosho spur (around 46T). I run a 18T pinion and it's pretty good for speed and acceleration. It's a great mix, I'd probably go down a tooth for racing if there were a lot of blips and small jumps.

On 5s it should be even more insane. I've upgraded my lipo to a Flightpower pack but staying with 4s for now until the new MMM comes out. Then I'll switch over and run 4s for racing and 5s for bashing. I might even find a nice big track to run 5s on if I'm lucky.

Could you tell me which shock you have on your CRT?
Look like to be big bore one, but which one?

Jammin 16mm big bores looks like.

Yep, big bores. Longs in back, short in front. Are you wondering about the shaft size?

About the set screw deal. You mean the set screw on the actual rear diff? What do those do, cause I see one on the center diff too. Sorry about the questions, I'm new to truggys. And thanks a million for the help, gotta get my truck running like yours.

Take a close look at your rear diff, where the rear center drive shaft connect on the rear diff. You have the outdrive how slide on the rear diff input pinion shaft. This outdrive is secure with a little allen screw. This allen screw must be tighten up with good locktite on it.

Yep, it's a little grub screw. It's kinda like how your pinion is held onto the shaft of the motor.

I tightened it up last night, should the one in the center diff be screwed all the way in as well? Oh sweet lrp wheels with the badlands, did the low profile help with ballooning? Later!

Yes, they help with ballooning. I like them a lot. All the grub screws that hold on a diff cup should be in all the way and locktite used on them.
