Status: offline 		buggyman congrats on the new crt.5


Has there been any info on the leaky tank. That reason is why my crt.5 sees no drive time

Status: offline 		Hi all
Here is what i saw on the Hong nor website , they release a new CRT.5 with pivot ball steering ,and a conversion kit should also be available soon !
http://www.hongnor.com.tw/eng/pviewitem1.asp?sn=672&area=45&cat=159
Knowing that Hongnor makes the Jammin crt5 jammin should have soon thoses also .
Have close look , it has the inline pipe ,alloy shocks and shock towers and more ! Why buy a pro version any more as the RTR psb is loaded with more than the pro version !

Status: offline 		thanks 719.
i still didn`t finish the build. i pressure checked my fuel tank.
and i found no leaks out of the box.
i`m still playing the RX box. trying to get battery and RX in there.
i might just mount the RX battery on the out side of the RX box.
after that its just paint the lid and glue up the tires.
i should be doing my break in this weekend.

Status: offline 		hey guys
my build is done and i started my break in on the .12picco
it was a pain to get it started. when it did start. i got about half way
thur the first tank and it stalled. now i can`t get it to fire at all.
i find the piston keeps getting stuck at TDC and i do mean STUCK.
i have to turn the flywheel with a screwdriver. try it again.
only to find the piston is stuck again. i`m going try again tonite.
if i can`t get it to fire. its out of there and i`m getting a os engine.
i did try everything to loosen up the piston. loosen glow plug, heat up the head with a blower,
new glow plug. even though the plug glowed nice and red. nothing. i was up to midnight trying to
get it started. i`m at my wits end with that engine. i know break ins are a pain. but this is the hardest
engine i even tried to break in.

Status: offline 		buggymangp put some after run oil in the cylinder 10 or so drops then crank it over for a bit then prime the engine and it should fire with no problem. they are very tight when new and need about 2 tanks through them before they stop getting stuck.

that engine is swining with the fishs.
8 hours trying to get that engine to run was enought for me.
i ripped the engine out and threw it in the lake by my house.
along with the CB,pipe. airfilter.
i tried everything to get it to run. heat up the head.
put oil down the cyl. replaced 4 glow plugs.
take carb off. take backing plate and head off.
yes i`m very upset and now the car is going sit on the shelve
until i can get the money for a new engine.

If you do, then why not put a brushless motor and
a lipo battery on your .5. I think that set-up may
fit your mental capacity a little better. LMAO!!!

Status: offline 		i know what you guys are saying.
that guy don`t know how to break in an engine.
i have over 12 nitro cars and trucks and never had that hard of time getting an engine
to run the first time. that engine never flet right from the start.
i could get that engine to spin on the starter wheel
for minutes on end but it would not fire.
i killed the battery in my starter box many times
trying to get it to fire. nothing. i checked and charged my glow plug battery many times
and removed the plug many times and saw the plug glowing red. i replaced 4 glow plugs.
i even started my prospec with the same glow plug battery and it fired right up.

Status: offline 		Well my CRT .5 is ready for break in . Still waiting to finish the Body and Wing. But its built. I still cant get over on how small it is .

Build was great, only problem I had was getting the CF radio tray to fit.

Cant wait to get it on a track


@ Buggy

Look at the JP .12 Eagle. Looking at that for my next engine. They make good amounts of power too, and are quite reliable.

Status: offline 		Buggymangp, I want to say that I'm sorry for the unkind remarks
that I made. I thought about some things that I have done in the
heat of the moment. I have let my temper get the best of me too.
Just be thankfull that the you engine didn't smack someone up-side
the head or kill a duck swimmin on the lake when you put it for the chuck.
Oh yea, I also got to tell ya that the O.S. TZ motors come with alot of pinch
and they really like to get stuck when there new too.

Status: offline 		Just out of curiosity. Did you check your needles before trying to break it in. I know the needles on my engine were waaaaaay off, but I caught it before break-in. Also did you try a new plug? Which one? I myself have the .12tz, but thats mainly b/c the engine that the .5 came with "topped" out.
