Yo cumquat...I'll be back in your city this weekend. We've got a Christmas party at my aunt's. I asked her for a pair of winter boots, and (6) lipos for my Eflite MCX2. Can't wait for the lipos! All of them went bad after I left them fully charged for a month!

I haven't run that thing in lets see...like 6 months. It's probably all dusty. I'll have to clean her out and adjust the trim.

I did something that I haven't done in a long time. I actually worked on my RC cars! Took them apart to see what was broken and needed replacing.

I've been doing that - each winter I take things apart, look for tranny/diff issues, failed bearings, and clean things up. I have to since I don't really look after things like that during the warmer months when I run through dirt/mud/everything and just let it sit.

I think I've found a nice BL combo for the CRT.5. Seems perfect for bashing:

Old one was a pig / on its way out. 23cc was not meant for that thing. 29cc though will do much better!

Yeah those are total power houses, at a large price of course. My 29cc will be around 3.5HP then with the pipe about 4 to 4.5HP. Which will be plenty for this truck.
