CRT.5 conversion Need advice

[Shark413]

phatmonk, nice CRT.5 conversion. My CRT.5 is setup for racing so a top speed of about 30 mph is what I was looking for. I have MM 5700, 7700 and Feigao 9L motors to choose from and so far the MM5700 is working well (speed/temps). I hear the Neu motors are the best, I have a 1/8 buggy with a Feigao 8XL and I would really like to put a Neu motor in there.

Ok, it's been a while since I updated this post. I have been busy working on my 1/8 brushless buggy, hooking up the mechanical brakes. But I have taken the CRT.5 out to the track and all I can say is this thing is amazing. Fast and handles better than I thought considering the extra weight. I discovered that the truggy has so much power it was wheeling when I punched it down the main straight and with neutral throttle over jumps it would have a tendency to nose up, which required braking to bring it down. I decided to make the truggy handle more neutral and provide more traction by moving the battery forward about 12mm. I removed the tray and drilled a new set of mounting holes and I extended the forward slot which allowed me to move the tray forward. I can now adjust where the CG is via the battery position. It works out great, it really hooks up now and is very controllable. Before it would hook up all right but the front wheels would lift and I would lose some directional steering. It now flys nice and level as well.
