Hi all,
As the titel says, I had an LRP Shark Factory Team (Vendetta ST) in mind but the CRT.5 caught my attention this week.
I have been reading here but would like to ask about some things :
- Is Jammin/Hong Nor the same car ? I mean quality wise (I know they are the same) -
They are physically the same car - nor is the manufacturer - ofna the distributer
- Can one only buy RTR's or also rollers ? Do the RTR's come build?
The pro is without the engine and comes prebuilt
- I have a MM + 5700 lying around, so I would also convert to brushless using 2cell Maxamps 6000 mah lipo's.
you can get away with a 5700 but it is a bit hot - longer term i would go with an L can
- What do you do whit the not used parts (engine, cluctch, ...) I would sell them ?
Yes but Pro has no engine so you are just left with pipe etc which go for very little
- Except for a motor mount, what else would I need ? Pinions (which) Spur (which) Spare Parts...
Motor mount and pinion is it - stock spur is fine- It is a mod 1 spur so you will need a bore reducer to use the MM with stock 5mm pinions
- Is the new CRT.5 with PBS steering already available ?
Not yet
- I see alot of lipo's put on their sides on the chassis. Is this the only option
No if you use small lipos - 2500 such as finnster or mikes chassis they can run flat
- Does one really need the extended chassis to put in a 1/10 scales servo?
Yes but it comes as standard now
- Is the standard drive really up to brushless power ?
Oh yes
- What about steering slop/ wheel slop ? Is it an issue like it was for example with my Mini Inferno ?
a little but not too bad considering the abuse mine has taken
- The center diff of the Mini Inferno had the issue of unloading to the front wheels. Is this also true for the CRT? Or is the power even to the front/rear?
No even - it has a full centre diff so can be tuned
I know these are alot of questions, but any answers/advice/comments/thoughts are welcome
NP - Just review some of the conversions in the truggy section
Thanks in advance
