Plus there is alot the crt.5 can do that the 1/8 buggy cant like be so nimble and handle the way the .5 does.

Just my view point man... I mentioned the 2.2 wheels for the crt.5, not the 1/8 buggy. I personally fell that the hyper8 handles better than the crt.5. Mine had a decent 3s setup (hacker c50 8l with a mm and 3s 5000 neu lipo) and was geared for about 45mph. I broke a few things on it that should not have, and I never really drove it hard after that. My hyper (actually had a few 7s and an 8) takes abuse much better and handles the variety of terrain I run on much better than the crt.5 ever did.

But that is just me... My suggestions for the .5 are the rcm chassis, alloy hubs and knuckles, jato front shocks, 1/8 buggy shocks for the rear, and some traxxas 2.2 dish wheels with gladiators. This seemed to be the best setup I found.
