Converting a nitro is fine with me. Actually, I expected it.

Garage/basement is just for playing when it is too cold outside. But mostly for small parking lots and such. I still haven't seen the full speed of my GTP because I run out of room. I had a Tamitay EVO III, which is 10th scale IIRC, and it worked pretty good in tight places, but parts are REALLY hard to come by so I gave it to my brother with a gentle brushed motor/LRP ESC (was on my son's Pede).

Yeah, I don't like ball diffs. I'd much rather have a planetary or spider diff that is tunable with oil.

I took a look at the 4tec at traxxas and noticed they use similar driveshafts as Slash/Pede/Rustler and found them to twist easily. So, whatever I get has to have steel outdrives and CVDs as well.

So, the list of requirements are:

> Spider or planetary steel oil-tunable diffs
> Steel driveshaft outdrives and CVDs
> Easy to work on any one part without tearing half the vehicle apart.
> Sized to fit typical 10th scale bodies

At this rate, I might as well just get another CRT.5 and create a chassis and shock towers specific for on-road use since it has the driveline I am happy with. Actually, that's not a bad idea really. Hmmm. I wonder if the CRT.5 arms are too wide... How wide are 10th scale bodies?
