My CRT.5

[magman]

Mike, just wondering why you are running Jato springs on Revo shocks instead of revo springs on your crt.5....I am going to order new front shocks ( Revo ) for my crt.5 and am unsure of what springs to get...thanks

.6 is making it smaller

magman- wouldnt revo springs make it very very stiff for a small truck like this?

Mike any info on pricing for the batts? I am going to be running the same set up ESC and motor wise. Any way I can buy one?

.5 is supposed to mean 1/2 size, .6 is more than half!

I have been testing these cells for 6 months or so to decide whether or not to import them and sell them - more sample packs are on the way(of various shapes, sizes and capacities).

The mud guard on the motor side is simply a 1/8 buggy mud guard(most any one will do, but tI think mine is a HB). I trimmed it to the width I wanted and drilled an extra hole in the chassis to hold it on. There is no mud guard on the battery side(aside from the battery box itself).
JNev - the battery tray fits a maxamps size pack and the hard case packs - a touch too small for your pack I think. The chassis layout will accept either of our battery boxes, so pretty much any battery is possible with the latest chassis. :)Also, in the spirit of continual progress, I will likely stretch the next batch of chassis out a touch more - just to make body selection easier. :)

Mike I got dibs, if you do make a chassis thats longer.

Probably...but, doesn't Traxxas make light springs for the Revo? I will probably try the Jato springs like what Mike has...if he runs w/it, it is probably a good set up.

magman - here is a whole topic on running Revo/jato shocks on the CRT.5. It seems almost everybody is running Jato springs including me.

JNEV...Thanks for the link...it is off to the LHS I go!

Hey Mike, I know I probably dont have a ton of say

But My chassis is 14mm longer then your chassis is. It is perfect! Maybe another mm or 2 on it, but im running a GT2 body, and it fits like it was made for the car. Its almost scary lol.

If your going to start, I think 14/15mm longer is a good place. And also, did you ever finish my dog bones?


EDIT, actually, the more I look at it, I think 17, or 18mm would be even better. Then the front of the body wouldnt stick out to far
