WILL THE JAMMIN CRT .5 BECOME THE NEXT HOT CLASS?
#16
In my opinion the truck is too small... Jammin should have made this 1/10 scale so it could use the same tires as the 1/10 stadium trucks
The 1/12 has lower ground clearance so it does not handle the rough tracks as easily. It also limits tire choices since it has to use the rear 1/10 buggy tires that have less surface (less grip) than the 1/10 truck tires.
Also, there's lots of 2wd 1/10 trucks out there, and a few 1/10 4wd's so you can't really speak about a 1/12 class taking off... 1/10 is where the potential is.. we just need more 4wd truck choices including a 4wd 1/10 electric truck!
If you want to compare just take a look at the hotbodies lightning stadium 10, really nice 1/10 scale version of the 1/8 truggy... with a .18 the power to weight ratio is amazing and handles superb... can even toy with the 1/8 scale truggies... try doing that with the crt hehe, no can do, its just too small and will not handle equally well. (I've seen it in action)

You can run 10th truck rims and tires on the jammin......
And it has more ride height and suspension travel over a GT2 gas truck.

Jammin Jay running his 8th scale CRT Truggy one 1.5 second a lap faster than with his 12th truggy. He was faster on every part of the track with the 12th exept the woops.
