Crt.5
- Tougher all around... better diffs, chassis, plastic parts.
- Can run as a nitro or electric (with conversion)
- Slightly larger than an e-revo 1/16
- Easier to work on and maintain.

yes you can. It can even hang with the 1/8th scales out there... just as long as they aren't trying to run you off the track on purpose...

I couldn't disagree more!With the E-Revo you just charge the battery and go. The brushless system is virtually maintenance free!

The only bad thing about the erevo is that some parts wear a little faster. but still it is a great truck

Not too mention parts are cheaper for the Mini E REVO , the CRT.5 IS a better truck I wont argue that , BUT if you want to just bash around the Mini E is better suited . If you want too run it on a track then the CRT.5 would be good , but I find that nitro in anything smaller than 1/10 is a waste of time IMO when there are so many electric motor kits that are faster and a lot more reliable .

As far as the nitro aspect goes... you can easily make a crt.5 electric (which is how mine is currently set up). So not an issue as far as I'm concerned.

I was referring to working on and maintaining the chassis. Taking apart a truggy is much easier than taking apart an e-revo. I can get into my crt.5 diffs in about 5 minutes and only removing about 6 screws. I can have the whole truggy broken down in about 15 minutes. Can you say the same about the e-revo?

Oh and p.s. I doubt you're crt .5 can keep up with any halfway experienced 1/8 scale driver.

Yes, to answer your question, I can have my mini e-revo broken down in 15 minutes as well, and I've only had the thing for a little over a week. And honestly, after using both of them, the e-revo is way more fun.

I respect your opinion of the e-revo being fun. That I don't argue with. Whether or not its "more" fun is all subjective. So no argument there. My point was merely that a truggy layout is easier to get into than a monster truck type layout.
Oh and p.s... so you're the stalker who's been following me and my crt.5 around the track...
... so that's how you know I suck at driving... damn! I've been caught!

As far as overall maintenance goes, you can't not mention the nitro engine. Therefore, I stick with my statement that the E-Revo is easier to maintain.
Sure you could convert the CRT to electric, but then it would cost much more than the E-Revo.

And the "good driving" was saying that maybe you can keep up with someone that doesnt know how to drive an 1/8 scale, but not someone that can keep it on its wheels.

As for the costs associated.... The actual cost to convert is actually closer in price to an e-revo vxl than you would think. The e-revo vxl retails for $299. You can get a pro kit for $179.99 (amain hobbies)+ $120 (brushless system) + $30 (motor mount and battery tray) + $30 (servo). Obviously I'm using approx numbers, but they are pretty accurate. Total cost to convert would only run you about $60 more (give or take depending on your electronics choices). $60 is a drop in the bucket in the world of R/C.

In all seriousness though... Let's just stick to the thread topic: "E-revo vxl vs Crt.5". Not "Crt.5 vs 1/8th". That's an entirely different can of worms.

I sell my e-revo VXL 3 months ago and buyed a CRT.5, the CRT.5 is a much better than e-revo.
