i have a rcmonster motor mount for the crt.5 that will convert it to brushless less, all you will need is a battery box 25 shipped and its yours pm me or check out the linky

Yeah, I researched the motors a lot before I found out the 380 and 540 sized ones.

I like the High Roller a lot, now that I've rebuilt the tranny twice. It's bulletproof now. I destroyed it in 5 minutes with the BL. You really need the upgraded gears. I also got the cvds.

I think it looks much nicer than the Stampede, plus I paid a lot less for it. Nicer body, nicer shocks, nicer wheels/tires.

Sal Bandini

Better than this you think?

Also, question on the HW 60A. If running on 3s, it says to use higher voltage fan. Where would I find a compatible fan for this?

Sal Bandini

Yeah I saw this in another thread.

How does it compare to the OFN40957? I heard that mount makes it easier to set the mesh.

So here's the $64,000 question:

Will I be able to get any money for my engine?

I cant say because i havent used that one, but I have the tacon already and it rips in my hyper 10sc and its a heavier truck then the crt .5 I'm getting a heatsink/fan too just to be extra safe, they are only 4.50

for the fan, move the wires from the battery lines and hook them to the black and red wires going to the Rx and you wont have any issues, the problem was with a 3 cell battery the fan was getting too much voltage 11.1 vs 7.4 and the fan was frying.

you got the one with the nitro engine? Yeah man, i would say at least $60, i would throw in on ebay.

I got the pro roller on ebay for $95 shipped cant wait for it to get here.

Sal Bandini

That's the same one I got. Same price as well.

Someone in another thread posted that they paid $20 for battery box and mount. I'm trying to find a deal like that.

I had to bid on the batterybox/motor mount, which started at $0.99. The battery box I won for $2.25 and the motor mount went for $15. Not too bad. So far I'm right at $110 into the truck as a roller.

If UPS leaves it at my door tonight, i'll be trying on a set of 4wd buggy wheels and seeing if a 1/10 4wd buggy body will fit. If it does, i'm going to have to lay the battery down and shift over the center diff.

Sal Bandini

Thanks. This is great.

Do you think it worth it to get the upgrade mount? OFN40957

I have the normal one on my hyper 10sc and it works fine for me. I saw that one also and it looks a bit nicer however i didn't want to spend the extra $13
