Looks to be like a X1 CRT. I used to have one myself and they're beasts of a car. Over engineered everywhere Although be warned, parts are there available to buy although they're not cheap and they're not getting any lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groome1 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 heres the ebay link its only got on other photo and its not brilliant http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252564936357?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&autorefresh=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombercountynick Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Looks like a CRT to me. I've just bought one to go alongside my CR buggy. Impressed with mine but as mentioned, due to their age spares, although still available, are harder to come by and not as cheap as models on the market at the minute.

Although It didn't have an engine which didn't matter as it was destine for 8S lipo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The one you was watching on the bay at £85 has surfaced this morning (from a different seller) on a facebook group for £125. eBay listing was ended early as lost/broken so must have been sold outside of the bay. Fwiw I think that was cheap, considering it was artr. Hella's £20 bargain does not set the value of the market. My X1 CRT conversion has been my goto RC all year - admittedly I don't abuse it like I do some but it's been rock solid, never letting me down. I think the only failure it's had this year wa a wheel hex pin and when replacing it turns out it was a trackside modded one I fitted months before that went. If you can the X2 CRT makes an easier conversion, as the X1's (all but the last ones produced afaik) had buggy ration diff's, hence the huge 60 odd tooth spur on the nitro, which, whilst potentially making them very wuick, puts a lot of strain on the motor.
