Looks great...

Racing T

looks awesom, im wondering if that shock towers are durable.

sloppyG

just a heads up guys,

I just got my pro kit crt.5 from tower today

the new pro kit's are being labeled CRT.5 PRO-E, extended chassis to accomadate full sized servos

you don't have to buy the RTR to get the extended chassis

great stuff, I just hope the mini servo I ordered will work!

sloppyG

just opened the box, the car comes with the extended chassis kit, and the regular chassis

so if you get one now, you get a regular car, with the extended chassis kit included!

zJatoRad

hey SloppyG did you buy the kit with the Picco or the kit without engine?

JB COMP

what part # is the new ones?

sloppyG

it's the kit without the engine, I plan on building this one brushless

ofna part# 34970 (I think it's the same as the old one)

there is a small white sticker on the box about 2.5" square, with only black text on it stating the extended chassis being included
the boxes come sealed with a "ofna sealed" tape closing them, and mine had clearly been opened and resealed by ofna, so it must be a pretty new change


I got mine from tower

luisev

That's good to know....

I just got the rtr jammin truggy, I never get tired of openning a new rc toy. Its a nice little truggy, and looks as though it will work out nicely to start.

luisev

Congrats silverman1....

I need to buy a Rechargeable battery pack for a Jammin CRT.5.

I'm looking at 2:
[link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_24_686/products_id/18752]Stickman 1000mah[/link]

OR

[link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_221_224/products_id/16660]OFNA 800mah[/link]

I'm using the stock radio that came with the RTR and the Stickman battery warns you about the polarity with the Futaba receivers, should I be concerned about this?

Which one of these are better. If you have one that works out better, please recommend it.
Thanks

luisev

I use the Ofna or RD Logics packs as they are available everywhere and were less than $19 ea...

savagedan89

has anybody had problems with the front shock leaking oil like crazy? i just got this kit for bout a week, and took it to the track this past weekend, and the bladder on the front shocks seem to keep get`n pulled into the shock...I didnt think i was feeling it up to much nor tightening the cap to much, but cant keep it from get`n stuck in there.

Karter01

I have had the same problem too, but with the rear shock. You're right, it seems the bladder or something isn't staying in the right place.

Can somebody help us?

JB COMP

try teflon tape on the threads of the shock, I did that when my shocks on my maxx where leaking, and they have yet to leak after that, and its been a year now.

Karter01

The oil is not coming from the cap. The actual bladder is getting pushed inside the shock body, therefore letting shock oil leak out.

luisev

I've seen this happen and is usually when the aluminum top and body aren't tight. They sometimes wiggle loose and cause a small gap between the plastic mount and aluminum cap. I don't like the design and when I switched to the CRT and DM-1 shocks the leak issues went away. I have tightened the top aluminum caps on the stock shocks with a pair of pliers and it seems to help, but eventually they leak again. The plastic, aluminum and rubber shock top design seem to be a weak point in the shocks. I wish someone made a one piece aluminum cap for the stock shocks...

At what rate should I charge the OFNA AAA 800mah battery? 1 amp?

luisev

That's what I do... 1 amp...

HpiDrifter420

i charge a 700mah battery for my mini nitro at 1 amp and it usually takes a few hours if its totally drained
