CRT.5 conversion Need advice

[rschoi_75]

Nice work so far. thanks for the side by side picks of the chassis. I was debating on a bce or ofna ext chassis (since the rcm chassis rules out my custom bodies). Looks like I'll get the ofna.

Shark,

Thanks for getting that info. Very rare that someone has all 3 chassis stripped like that and easily weighed for comparison.


Anyone know the weight of the RCM chassis?

I was finally able to get everything together. Took all the parts off the standard chassis and added them to the extended chassis. Installed the battery tray, ESC and rx. Added some foam padding for the battery tray, a rear skid plate, new servo saver arm, Hitec 5645MG servo, linkage, etc. Now if it would only stop raining I could take it for a spin.

Current configuration:
Mamba Max, 7700 motor, FASST rx, extended chassis, 13T harden steel pinion, 46T steel spur, Proline CF, Maxamps 2s2p lipo.

EVA foam 1/4 on the bottom, 1/8 on the side.

Bottom, notice the battery tray uses the stock motor mount holes.

Looks like a slick setup. Make sure you get some vid when you get to run it.

I'm also interested to heare how it does on the 7700kv motor. That sounds like it could run a little on the hot side.
