Status: offline 		Here are a few pics of my CRT. I love the Novarossi 528. Coming from an OS VSPEC, it's a world of difference. The brakes worried me at 1st. Until I took it to the track for a race, I didn't think they would be enough. Once they're scrubbed in, no problems.

I am putting mine together now. Almost done. I am very impressed with everything about it from the quality to the reviews it has received. I am using the following: sportwerks .26, sportwerks pipe, hitech 9645 steering "I know there are better but I already have 4 of them", jr 450 ??? -"from mayhem steering". Does anybody have any advise on set up and on the parts that I should stock up. Should I invest in a jp1 or jp2 rather than sticking with the sportwerks pipe. And is there anything that I should do during the build that the instructions do not indicate. Thanks in advance and I can wait to run this thing.
Don't forget about the quality of servos being part of the handling equation. You want fast strong responsive servos otherwise it will still handle like a dog. I have in my Jammin a hitec 945 for steering and a jr 8800 for throttle/brake and yes, it is very responsive. Look for at least 150 oz of torque and a .13 second speed @6 volts for steering and look for at least 90 oz torque, .13 second speed for the throttle. My throttle has .08 second reaction, throttle/brake response is almost instantaneous. There are better servos out there, but these do right by me.

Status: offline 		I just about finished. I did order a few things fron a-main and got a few things at the hobby store. One piece engine mount, out drive boots, spare A-arms, spare clutch, spare rear hub carriers, racers edge foams. I did get the maxx size foams "not 40 series" and read that they need to be cut. Does anybody have any insight on this. Another question I have is that my epa on the transmitter is set a 125% on the steering and it seems that I may be able to get more wheel movement. (turn further). The only way that I can figure on doing this is to use a longer servo arm. Any ideas? Plus, did anybody trim areas to gain more steering, and if so , where? Thanks for all the help.

Status: offline 		Hello all,
Just about finished. Just need to sort out the radio gear probaly going to go for the Spektrum system.

I reckon this is about the best model I have had and or built and cant wait to run it in.
I will be using Tornado 25% buggy fuel was meant to run it in 3 weeks ago but work commitments screwed that up for me. Never mind the job pays the bills.

Status: offline 		Hi all! Just ordered my CRT and cant wait. I used to have a couple of Mayhems but wanted something that handled a bit better. I bought the pro kit and a Picco .27 engine. I was wondering if there were any upgrades I need to go ahead and purchase or if there was anything I need to look out for. What do you think of Picco engines? Ill be running with a Spektrum and JR servos (9000t & 590)

The first thing you should think about is boiling the wing stays, rear hub carriers and front hub carriers. These parts have failed on a small amount of CRTs. Some people have broken the carbon fiber steering plate and they either double them up or get the aluminum one from the ready to tun crt or get one from BCE, like I did. I havnt broken anything on my truck but I do keep a set of alloy rear hub carriers made for the kyosho 777 in case I break mine. The engine you chose has more than enough power but I do see people struggle alittle with the tuning on that engine that is why I run all RB Concept engines and tuning is not an issue. Dont use the stock white proline foam when you glue up the tires, get the trinity two stage foams. The stock foam breaks down fast. Your servos sound good. A good starting point for your diffs is 5000 to 7000 in the front, 50%10000 and 50% 30000 for the center....this comes out to be about 17250wt. And 2000 to 3000 in the rear. Try 45 wt losi shock oil all the way around for a good starting point on your shocks. Good luck on your build and try out truggyracers.com for some good jammin information. These are good starting point I'm suggesting, i'm sure people will tell you other set ups so take it as a starting point for a smooth driving style on a med traction track.

It softens them....they dont shatter as easily....especially in the winter...the parts get cold...and shatter.

I got mine on www.amainhobbies.com. Do search for rear hubs. I got the ones marketed by racers edge. How hard did you hit the wall. If you hit the wall hard then aluminum isnt going to help you. If you hit hard enough the metal one would be ripped from the suspension arm. Sometimes it's good that some thing breaks to protect more expensive parts attached to them.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the link....I did not hit it that hard. it's cold here in michigan so sometimes things break. I just want to strengthen up my truck a bit and I think the hubs is a good place to start. I found 2 kinds. Both racers edge but they have differant degrees on them.

these are 0 degree http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/2979

these are 1/2 http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/2051

Not suite sure which ones I would need.....MAN I LOVE THE JAMMIN!!!
