No

The CRT.5 quality is MUCH better (IMO), has a center diff, diffs are super nice.... And im sure the .5 handles much better then either of those cars....
Plus the CRT.5 with all the custom parts is more unique

I dont really care about the price... If price was a huge factor, I wouldnt be into rc It is, but to have fun, you have to pay


Thanks for the pics!

Having owned a RCM crt.5 for a while now I will tell you that the overall quality is good and definitely better than the LS10. However, from what I've seen as you bump up in scale (weight, wheels, width) the crt.5 gets a bit fragile in the steering rack/servo saver, front arms, and bearings. I break other things too like c-hubs and steering knuckles that are both beefier on the LS10. And, there's no way I'd run wider arms with the stock front shocks. They are already over leveraged with the stock arms and the added weight of e-conversion.

If you really want 10th scale then maybe a LS10 with a crt.5 center diff and RCM motor mount?

Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to be argumentative, but pass on my experiences with my e-crt.5.
