Should I get a .5?
 

I was thinking about getting a CRT .5, how do you guys like yours? Are they just as good for bashing as racing?

I have seen a lot of nice conversions out there and I would like to do one myself. What motor would you guys recommend? I have a mm so I don't need a new spedo. How long on average would a 8000mah lipo last just bashin around?

I was gonna dump all my money into my E-maxx but I found a great deal on a .5. How much money does it take to make a .5 electric?

Sorry for all the questions, I just need some opinions.:lol: Thanks!

its a great, run time will depend on what you use, alot of us are useing packs smaller than 4000mah

i have a spair crt.5 with a motor mount for sale pm me if you are interested

Thanks, and you have a pm.

How well will a vxl motor work in a .5?

did you take a look at the hyper mini st?

Its kinda new so thats why its not on the forums.

No I don't like 1/18 scale.

Oh my bad its not a 1/18. I don't like its lay out.

I love the crt.5 as you can see mine in my avatar.....it is an amazing car on the track....mine uses an mm with 9l feigao geared 46/14 geared for about 40 mph it will go much faster if needed....I usually run mine on 3s maxamps 5000mah and it seems to run forever....as I stated it always amazes the other guys at the track with its maneuverability and acceleration....don't hesitate... its an awesome little car IMHO

Its pretty much based on the crt .5 but with afew upgrades.

People were saying the exhaust was always prone to dmg so they covered it. Gotta bigger shocks, PBS and something else i forgot.

Hey! im not selling you the thing....its just the latest.

all good in the hood tho! xD

Thanks guys!

Get yourself a Medusa motor for it if your gonna get one. for the money they are hands down the best

I already have a vxl motor so I think I'm just gonna use that.

I have one as well, in my avatar is the pic. I love mine. I run it now on 2s...3s after the holidays on a Medusa 3300kv and mm esc.

Yes, you should get a .5.... mine! :wink:

Yea lol.

vxl motor runs great in the .5

On a 8000mah 2s what run times would I see just playin around?

What are a few upgrades that are must haves?

How would this motor work? http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...300kv_Inrunner

You don't really need any... I switched to alloy rear hubs, front knuckles, and alloy braces. Not that this truck needs any of it, but I like the bling. I've only managed to break one turnbuckle and one front arm in over a year of owning this truck. I'd say the only upgrade that you'd really want is a longer chassis (rcm, bce, or ofna). The ext chassis isn't really needed, but its nice to have a full size servo in there.

As for the turnigy motor, I have no experience with them, but I hear they are not very good. Your VXL should be better.

Ok I'll stick with the vxl.

Ok I have a problem.:lol: I have no clue what to use for a battery tray. Can anybody help me. How well would a rcm battery tray work? How could I mount it? I will be using Rhino 4900 3s lipos. Here is a link:http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...0C_Lipoly_Pack

mine is made out of plexi....I didnt build it but it looks very easy....check out my thread maybe get some ideas

theres not much room in a crt.5 to lay the battery flat...so most bats have to go on there side

I used a axial battery mount from my ax-10. It has holes in it that you can use to mount it to the chassis. The back hole fits in the motor screw slot. The front hole has to be drilled. Then the battery stays in place using the velcro straps. I can snap a pic of it tonight when I get home from work.

Thanks.

Kinda off topic but look at this:

This lol:http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/27643 Can it be a neu for under $200?

Can somebody tell me how much room there is from the center diff to the edge of the chassis on the left side?

id like to know that too!

wana see if you can fit a bigger fuel tank. maybe something like 100cc....or 125cc if possible!

Nobody? I need to know so I can make a battery tray.

I just bought the truck, when I get it there will be more updates.

PLZ can somebody tell me how many mm the center diff is from the left side of the chassis. I really would appreciate it.

Here are a few measurements:

Thanks man, just what I needed. I hope I get my truck today.
