I don't think it is lower. This is a really wide truck (almost square if you look down at it) and lands nicely when jumping. I would say it may even have more clearance and shock travel than some 1/10 trucks.

IS THIS CLASS TAKING OFF ACROSS THE COUNTRY?


THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A GREAT CLASS.........

ARE THOSE ELECTRIC TRUCK PROLINE RIMS OR BUGGY?

nitro28

The stock rims are buggy 2.2 rear rims. You can, however, run the wider 1/10th truck rims with no problem also.

Any luck getting a video of the lipos @ the track........

nitro28

I am still waiting for my lipo from maxamps. I ordered it on 7/20 and it still isn't here. I have not ordered from them before. Do they always take that long?

nitro28,

Nice job on that conversion!
What's the pitch of the hardened 14t pinion and where might I source one?
Does that pinion mate with the original spur gear of the CRT.5 Pro?

Enjoyed the video and pics, thanks very much.

The pitch is a mod 1. It does work with the stock spur. You can get the hardened pinions from:

Use the 5mm pinions because they are hardened, then buy the $5 bore reducer to make it fit on a standard 1/8 motor shaft. 14t is still a little tall for a mamba system. If you use a torquer motor you can play with the gearing a little more, but the mamba probably would work best with a 12-13t. I have seen gearing as high as 20t with a big lehner motor but its kV rating is much lower so you do need higher voltage lipos.

nitro28,

The comprehensive reply to my queries, inclusive of the tips gained from your .5 crt ep conversion experience is much appreciated. Thanks.

Did you make that stearing servo holder? if not how could i get my hands on one? and if not what would be a good servo to go with?

Also what are the temps like with the set up your running?

nitro28

Yes I did make the mount. The stock mount as you know only takes a mid size servo which was too weak for me. I really like the airtronics 94359 servo. New its $120 but you can get them on ebay for a lot less. They are super fast and 200oz. Any full size servo is about the same size and should fit, I would suggest a torque rating above 100oz minimum. I used some aluminum sheet to make the mount and the bolted it over the servo using some stock holes in the chassis. I then just used the stock linkage and flipped the ball stud on the bell crank up on top.

Right now I am running a little hot on the esc with the lid on. The motor is 130 F and the esc is 155-165 F. I need to cut some vents for the esc's fins. Also I probably need to drop down a tooth on the pinion.

Ok i just ordered the 7700 because no where has the 6900 and i have a heatsink for the motor with a fan on it and a spair fan i will mount on top of the esc trying to cool down the temps...i will only be running it on 6 cells so it really shouldnt be too much of a problem, do you think?
