what to do with this nice brushless system?

[Plaidfish]

I have Ofna Jammin' CRT pro that is a roller that takes up space......I had thought of making it brushless.

DING DING DING +1 on this idea.....you get the center diff motor mount and longer chassis and poof...instant brushless conversion......and it's a tougher rig since it was designed for nitro engines........has metal geared diffs instead of slipper plate types.....cheap offroad badass RC.....

 

[CharliesTheMan]

I like the whole idea.

You wouldnt want to put that in the Novak conversion, its not even out yet anyway.

I second the Stampede. You can find rollers for a song on Ebay or the Traxxas forum. Look for the newer XL-5 one, it has the better slipper. I built a streached, long are one and they are fun! And there are a ton of hop-ups if you want.

I meant the CRT .5 .....it would be perfect for that....

You could always go 0-90mph in < 2 sec.

You guys are all missing the point entirely....... I posted a link that worked! Yah me!
Seriously, a brushless CRT .5 would be wild. I have a Picco powered one still in its box and if I could find a Brushless conversion kit I would buy one. (link would be appreciated)
If you can pick up a cheap .5 chassis Charlie get it.

 

[psunitro]

Yes, RCMonster has a conversion.

Yes I would love to find a .5 chassis or roller. That's one of the top runners in the debate of what I will use. I just haven't been able to find a roller yet. They say the .5 with extended chassis and brushless converion works VERY well together.

And buy the way, I noticed your link when you posted it.

.5

Yes, RCMonster has a conversion.

Thanks. This site has it all doesn't it. Its one of my faves now.....

It's real shame, I'm a drag racer, I eat breathe and sleep drag racing, I live to go a quarter mile at the time, and I didn't even think about this. Time to start researching a drag car!

I think the MT 2 might make a good brushless project, but I couldnt find any information on any kind of conversion for it. It's kinda big, but I like that it is 4x4

 

[psunitro]

Not big at all, it's 1/10, just like a RC10gt, T4, Rustler.
I dont know of anyone that makes a "kit" to convert. You can look at the ELECTRIC version. LOL. I had one, its a belt driven system.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

As a kid, I was motivated by a belt driven system. When I got out of line, Mom or Dad got out the belt and gave me some drive.

LMAO!!! That's excellent! Same way I got MY drive. Man, that's funny.

The way it should still be done today if it wasn't for the bleeding hearts.

We can't do that anymore? Someone forgot to send me the memo.

as my mom said when i was growing up..."call DFYS, i'll give them the strap too"

i'm not saying we should beat our kids, but a little fear for motivation goes a long way...

Bleeding hearts do nothing for the learning process. Burning butts do wonders.

I remember when I got to be around 12 or 13, something like that. My Mom and I got into it because of course I was giving her a hard time about something. I popped off that she coudln't whip me or spank me anymore because I was bigger than she was now. She promptly stood on the couch and decked me square in the jaw.
