Default Some bling for the RC's.
Starting off with the "non bling" but cool factor stuff. Everything here is made from 7075 T6 aluminum. Its tough as nails and has a lifetime warrenty. Its all there to make sure the truck is light, strong, and rigid. When done there won't be a single peice of plastic left on the structure except for body posts. Everything will be CNC machined aluminum. In short, I could nearly ram this thing into a wall at 30mph or more and drive away from a chipped wall.

Cost to build it? WAY beyond reason for most people. But its one of my hobbies. Total is $700+ I guess, I bought the truck used, and the chassis used, but in great shape. Saved about $300 total there.


Dace Mfg aluminum Skid plate.


Dace Mfg nickel plated T6 7075 Aluminum 1 peice motor mount. VERY strong and light weight.


Aluminum Steering brace.


CNC Aluminum Radio plate and posts.


CNC steering knuckles.


CNC rear uprights.


CNC chassis braces.



And a set of CNC aluminum A-arms.


If you can't tell, I like King Headz stuff. Its made of some REALLY nice quality aluminum.

And last but not least, the part which everything attaches to! The BCE Racing chassis.

BCE Racing milled/relieved racing chassis. Extremely strong and lightweight. Its like a feather but very strong.

Here's a pic of the CRT next to the X1cr buggy. As you can see, much bigger, but its only 2lbs heavier. The CRT is 9.2lbs compared to the buggy at 7.1lbs. Both in that pic would retail over $2,500 when put together. I keep wondering where my money has gone.




Why would I spend the money on these? So I can do stuff like this video does and have the car survive!
