Brushless CRT.5 on the way.....
 

So I went for a CRT.5 project since it seemed much durable, drivable, less costy and a bit more fun than a fully hopped up Rusty.

The funny thing is that I bought all the hop ups from Ofna for this bugger befor buying the truggy itself...seems illogical..sure does, but hey, this way I can stick myself to this project no matter what( hop ups went up to 290 dollars disregarding the ceramics and electrics, dude!) and thus, I'll have to get the truggy in the end.

Put a 1930/5 with a Mamba Max, 3s Evo25 4900 and a big pinion and boy o'boy I'll be having a missle in my hand.

I'm only waiting for Mike's chassis to come out befor I take any further actions.

I don't really know why I posted this thread, but I thought you may want to know about it....

Thanks,

Alawi El-Jifri =)

Will definitely be another sweet project. :smile: Do you plan on getting the extended chassis as well?

Yeah, I'll get the extended chassis.=)

lol... that's what I did too. Ofna hop-ups cost an arm and a leg. I paid over $100 for just the rear hubs and front knuckles.

good luck on the build.

Hey, guys, can you give me the sizes of the bearings in the truggy?
How many of each size?
What are the ones I'll throw away because of the brushless conversion?
What is the size of the bearings that comes with the rear Aluminum up rights?

Thanks!

IMO

Id do a NEU 1509 1Y I belive it is, the one with 3600 KV, its cheaper then the LMT, and esier to get

Sounds like a awsome project! But cant say on bearing sizes

Well, I've been having the 1930/5 around here for over 3 years and I haven't found a good car to use it in. If I did not have a motor from the beginning, I'd surly go for a 1506 or a 1509 motor.=)
I still need to confirm the sizes of the bearings and their quantities befor I buy everything.

Ohh, then yeah, for shure do the LMT!

Sounds like you will have a .5 like BP's .5

Yeah, it seems much like it. Coincedince, though.

If I do mine, mine will be the same but I will use the NEU and flight power 5k 25C packs

Thats would be the only diff I think

The 5000mah packs are quite big, otherwise I would've gone for them. The 4900mah are the most compact of FlightPower's.

Is there anyone who knows the sizes of the bearings that is used on the centerdiff?

They're an oddball size: 15x10x4 (OD/ID/W)

And the Maxamps 5k packs fit perfectly.

Hello....someone knows the bearing size used in the centerdiff?.....man, that's the third time.=(

I answered your question in my last post, or am I not understanding your question?

Oops!!! I did not concentrate, because I thought you were replying to B.O.Revo only...sorry and thanks=)

BOR is easier =D

Did the .5 come yet? lol

Okay, BOR!

The .5 is on it's way. I've just placed an order a few hours ago. It needs around a week or so befor it's in my position.

Nice!!!

Good luck with the conversion!

One other thing, my friends. With Mike's extended chassis, is it possible to use the mini servo's or are they too weak?
I'll be using normal 1/10 truck wheels and tires,so....

sorry to interupt... but does anyone have a link to this "extended chassis" I keep hearing mentioned, but don't see anywhere?

It is not in the store yet, but will be soon. BP-Revo designed it, and Mike made it and put a few final touches on it. If you search around the forum, thee will be some pictures of it. I'll try to find it though. I think cemetary has one and BP-Revo and thats it right now.

BTW - Did you buy a Neu 1515/2.5 on ebay yesterday? =) I was watching it, and just new someone from RCM would buy it, lol.

Thanks, I searched around but only truned up mentions, not any pictures or measurements.

and Yea, I snagged that Neu from Ebay.

They are actually on the temp. forum. Here they are. =)

My! If I read Mike's thread properly, I wouldn't have to ask about the servo, lol!
What about the body, though?

You use a jato body

BP and Cem are using the CP for the jato

And yeah, I wouldnt even want to run a mini servo, Just go for the big ones

Just wondering if the extended chassis has center dif mount screw hole locations that allow for the plastic spur to fit on the diff. From what I understand the spur fits the diff but makes the dif just a little bit too long. So moving one set of mounting holes a mm or 2 would allow the use of the plastic spur on the center diff. Just woundering if that feature was added to the new chassis. Seems like it would be easy to do.

Nope, it wasn't. You are the first person who I think actually thought of this. You would need a new bearing for the new spur, new diff mount(mike would have to change his motor mount to fit the new bearing) and a new diff outdrive. There maybe more I am forgetting though so, its not so easy really. Besides, with the new hardened pinions you have no trouble at all with wear on the metal spur. It is stronger than a plastic spur and more reliable IMO. I have had almost 40+ runs on it and no sighs of wear.

I have a 4s 4200mAh lipo on the way for the crt.5(with 10L motor), so things should get interesting now ;).....

Bye:)

Yummy, this CRT.5 project might be really exciting. I can't wait.
