I forgot about that trick!!! I haven't even been able to pull that one off!!!


Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

all it takes is bad depth perception, and an RC that accelerates too fast for its own good

you can't really react to an object being in the way, when you think the RC is 10ft past it.

True At least it wasn't running away at that time!

The CRT cannot be backflipped... not with a collari .30 jp-1 and crimefighter tires atleast.





I was on the throttle so long in the air the motor started to cut out, and I landed on the hood of the body.

Before I got bashing, shit just kept going wrong with my CRT. First the OWB was slipping (again, fixed by preheating the motor alot), then the brakes wern't working again (and the front brakes still are not), then I lost a wheel nut and spent about 15 minute diggin through the lawn, and luckily found it. Then I lost some stand off thing that goes to the front knuckle, and some time during the bashing, I lost the rx box cover.


Boiling parts works. I landed hard as hell on the rear tires alone several times, and once on just the wing.


I put the truck through more abuse than I was planning on doing today, but I didn't break a single part... just lost a few.

Big air, yes! Backflip.. no .

edit: oh yeah, I was getting wheelies too. 10k center, 15t clutchbell.

The CRT is a race truck not a basher. If you want back flips get a Savage.

Seems to have made a great basher soo far. I've got about half a gallon on it, with 1 broken hub hub carrier.

I don't really care about backflips that much, espically after doing so many, so easily, with my mugen truggy and supermaxx. I just wanted to see one done with a CRT, since I havn't found any vids of it yet.

Rob is a basher not a racer, which means that whatever he buys will be a basher.

The way I feal is why buy a race truck thats meant to be raced and then bash it? Im totally cool about it because its your money but it makes no sense to buy a truck thats made to race and bash it. Just my opinion tho.

Just because its good at one thing, doesn't mean it wont do others extremly well.
