Looking for new Mini

I see RCM's chassis is also wider. How much wider is it compared to the stock one or compared to the Ofna extended one?

IF going for Mike's chassis (which I like alot) will the stock body fit ?

There are blue springs and white springs as options. Where do the standard springs (grey) fit. Is this hard/medium ?

I also have some Losi springs, which seem to fit. Anyone uses those ?

It's wide enough and a lot longer that I didn't think the stock body fit at all. I use the older Losi XXXT RTR body. It is a lot narrower than most 1/10 truck bodies, and fits the RCM chassi ver well. If you want to use the truggy wing with a 1/10 body then I cut the body off just behind the rear wheel wells.

The grey springs are the softest and stock. What springs you need will depend a lot on how you do your conversion. With bigger batts or a heavy L motor you may need white front and blue rear. With a lighter setup then the blue front & grey rear works good. Either way you will need to go with the stiffer pistons (I liked smaller 2 hole) and some stiffer oil.

I have a bunch of Losi springs too and they were a good bit softer than even the grey crt.5 spring.

At the moment I'm working on my CRT.5 and will post some pics soon.

In the meantime could someone instruct my in the relations brushless motors/Esc/Lipo's : Kv - Amps - ESC Amps - Lipo Amps.

I would like to understand all this. I know I can buy a motor based on what everyone else buys but I want to know what I'm doing.

Links to some info is also welcome.

Second, does anyone know of a buggy body that would fit a CRT ?
Maybe with some mods. I kinda like the look of a buggy body.

Any idea when the RCM chassis will be available again?

I'd start with the basics:

1: General Info: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5115

2: Temperature monitoring: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2200

3: Some techy stuff : http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14381

So now I'm thinking about the Ammo 3300kv.

Is it comparable or is it of less quality ?
