I'll probably only run it on 3s so not quite the same as 6s in an 1/8 truggy. There are a couple reasons for doing this:
1) because I can.
2) to be able to say I did!
3) I will never have temp issues with it.
4) it will be stupid fast on just 2s
5) standing double backflips
Need I continue?

Can't argue point #1 lets face it 99% of what we do in the hobby boils down to #1

You haven't experieced 1/8 brushless untill you try 6s!!!

RE: Ofna Jammin CRT.5 1/12 Truggy Build Thread and E-Conversion
Got my conversion part in this morning. here are the pics of the conversion. Its alomst complete. I just realized I put everything together and forgot to install the driveshafts! I am missing a couple screws and need to intsall the ESC and receiver but other than that its done.
I did a bigblock nitro conversion to it when I first got it last year. so here is how it started out today.
and the electric conversion progress. I went ahead and dropped in a mamba 2200kv motor for sizing. I plan to pick up a 2650 for it instead since this one is my buggy motor. I am running a modified spur gear on the diff. I used it with the Werks B6 engine when I was running nitro. the gears in it now are 26/38. it should do somewhere around 40-45MPH on 2s the way it sits. I don't know if I am going to keep this battery tray or go a different route with it so I can fit 3s to run with the 2650 motor. But this is what I have so far.

did my first run today handles very well tho coming from a savage xs im sure anything would feel better lol
think im going to get the plastic spur gear just like knowing i have a give point over metal
temps were nice after 35min of racing cars up and down my street
p.s. thats going to be crazy yakfish!

I'm not sure how much more I want to put into this little truck, but I'm thinking of picking up a set of RCMonster 17mm wheel adaptors so I can run 1/8 buggy wheels. I think a set of proline badlands would do nicely!

Here is a quick vid of it running. The center diff is sending too much power to the front wheels. I need to thicken the center diff to put more power to the ground. But it runs. Just needs to have the setup tweaked a bit to get the full potential out of this brushless system. It's not in this vid but I did run it down the street and it wound out to about 50 mph in no time! Should be fun once it is set up properly.

RE: Ofna Jammin CRT.5 1/12 Truggy Build Thread and E-Conversion
Well how do you like that!?! I just recieved I LIPO battery lot that I traded my last nitro engine for and found that I now have a 4s battery that fits inside the unmodified battery tray on the crt.5! Its a thunder power 4s battery. it has velcro over the labelso I can't see the mah of the "C" rating, But its 4s and it fits inside the tray. I will still have to modify the tray to fit some of my other batteries but I just though this was cool! It is a very tight squeezeand bulges out the sides of the tray. I have some 3s batts that won't fit in there and even some 2s that are quite a tight fit as well. I figure this 4s batt to be in the 3500mah range just based in its size but in this little truck its going to rip!

RE: Ofna Jammin CRT.5 1/12 Truggy Build Thread and E-Conversion
it does rip! I just took it out for a 8-10 minute run. This thing will do back flips on demand! after almost 10 minutes of hard running the motor barely got warm to the touch and when I checked the temp it only got to about 70 degrees the ESC didn't even feel warm. The battery got warm and when I checked the temp the battery was 102 degrees which is a bit on the warm side for my liking but still safe. I could gearing down a little to help with the battery temps. I will probably mostly run this thing on 3s though. That should be a good ballance of temps and power and still do standing backflips!

Here is the CRT.5 on 3s. I wil take another vid of it on the 4s battery once I get an adaptor for the charge lead. I think 3s is just about right though! The center diff is still limiting the power by quite a bit. I need to get some 20K diff fluid and I think it will be right.

Those tires are gonna get toasted pretty quick
What size motor were you running? That looks like a 1/8 motor???

anyone know what stock weight the center diff oil is?
and im looking to put some thicker oil in it but im not sure what a good number would be
