1/10-1/12 scale electric 4wd stadium/truggy?
 

Since being bitten by the bl bug I have wanted a larger version of my rc18t. Is there anything out there to fill this need that doesn't have to be converted from nitro? Is it possible to put a truggy body and wheels on a B44? Is the CRT.5 my best option for a conversion? I've been looking on ebay and found someone selling one but is way over priced in my opinion($450 with sidewinder 5700/$250 for roller) I can buy the CRT.5 pro for the same, sell the nitro stuff to cover the cost of a motor mount and have an extended chassis. Is that the best way? Does anyone have one they want to get rid of? Possible partial trade involving my vxl rustler minus esc or possibly a bl rc18t with extras? I know this is a lot for one thread.

Another nitro one you can look at is the Kyosho DST which should probably be larger than the CRT since it is 1/10 scale but I haven't seen one converted to electric yet.

i do this convertion lighting stadium 1/10....:surprised:amazing wow

The CRT.5 pro is the way to go. EZ conversion. There is also a Mini Hyper ST coming out as well that looks good.

CRT.5 is tough and can be run on 1/8th scale tracks. Very fast too. Where in Upstate are you. Arct1k, Cem Gates and I have one and have raced them around at Barnstormers in Chester, NY in Orange Co.

I have 2 of them :) and RC mike has one...

hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like the LS10 has a slipper instead of a center diff, and comes with a plastic spur instead of steel...

I'm in CNY, Syracuse area. I'm hoping to get to the barn this summer. Guess I'm gonna start gathering funds for a CRT.5 pro conversion, as soon as I get my laptop back and can sell off some stuff! Was hoping to make the July has at the barn but my mmm is down so all I'd have is a vxl rustler or put the titans back in the e-revo

With a $50 deposit (CC replacement cost) you can borrow a modded MM.... I have 4 of them (all with UBECs, Caps and fans) + a quark125 (UBEC, Cap and fans) and a MMM at CC... I can't drive all of them at once... I run 5.5mm motor connectors.

I appreciate the offer! I have a mm and cc bec, just need a fan for it I could use that. Any update as to when the July bash will be? I haven't checked the thread lately, all this is coming from my iPhone as my laptop has been out of service for 2 weeks.

I also found adding the novak HV cap really helped...

20th is the main event and I'm also trying for 27th - I maybe up there this w/e too!

But realy cheap, fragile, un-reliable, i had one too.

And the crt.5 is the way to go:wink:

There has also been good things posted about the electric CEN truck (1/10th).

i would stay away from the kysho they use really long and small driveshafts, i here they are breaking them on just the stock nitro, they wouldnt last NO time at all with brushless.

the LS10 is a great basher, just needs losi egiht-t body mounts, and the front and rear diffs filled. but its not that great of a racer, i mean with alot of time and setup adjustment im sure it could be but ive raced mine alot and it does fine unless your wanting it to run like a 1/8th scale, its just not setup good stock.

Ive seen two CRT.5s (both nitro) run in person and they handle MUCH better due to the center diff and not having a direct drive slipper like the ls10, lets the truck pull it self around the track rather than push it self or wheelie every where. These are definetly tough but they are more for the track than for bashing, id say the ls10 is tougher for bashing.

The new hyper mini ST is prolly just like the crt except with the angle motor nitro junk and a different chassis. wouldnt be surprised if they used the same front and rearend pieces.

The Cen st10/mt10 are pretty unique in that the driveshaft runs underneath the chassis and the motor sits side ways at the rear. (this would be extremely easy to convert) Cen makes tough veichles and has great parts support (if they dont have it instock its free) but it wouldnt handle like the CRT.5 prolly only as good as the LS10 becasue neither have a center diff.

There is a guy converting a B44 to T44 on RCTECH but the thing you got to also remember is that a buggy chassis is shorter than a truck chassis so it isn't going to be as big - http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=193155
