CRT.5 - My first conversion

[Jon]

I found a prop adapter that will accept 1/8" to 5mm for the ability to use the larger bore pinions. Now the hardend pinions are off Mike's site. I think the last time I looked, there were only a couple sizes left. Probably all gone now.

I hope to be able to run the 32 pitch, 1/8" bore pinions soon on my CRT.5. :032:

For now, my battery mount idea did not turn out too good. Going to redo it with the mounting on the flip side. This will allow me to attach the mount to the two inboard motor mount holes. This should work okay... and allow the battery to sit flush to the chassis. A piece of lexan to cover the flywheel hole and we're ready to roll.

I guess I'll paint the lid while I wait on Mike for the spur solution. Too bad there is not a COTS solution. I am racing this weekend and may have to stick with the 1/8 scale Jammin buggy (nitro). Sure was hoping to have a solution to run this ECRT.5 thing on Saturday. Patience is not easy for me.... I want what I want, and I want it now.

Later,
Jon
