RE: Official Jammin X1CRT Thread
what is a "Bump start"?
So you would recomend the kit for flat out racing?
I LOVE to take stuff apart or put stuff togther.
What stuff do I need that is Not Included in the kit?
And what do I need to buy to put the Novarossi in? Exp, Pipe, Shims.
thanks.

what fuel would you recomend for the nova rossie rex 528?
20% or 30%?
which would make the engine run cooler?
would the ofna p2 pipe work ok on this 528?
thx Dirby.

RE: Official Jammin X1CRT Thread
Hello everyone.
I want to start by saying this is a great forum and I am very very new to RC.
I just bought a X1 CRT RTR and did a 7 tank break-in. It seams to be running great.
I do have a few questions about what is out there for it and what I need to get.
I am looking for a good setup guide for it. Also looking to see if there are any dirt shields for it.
What other hop ups are out there for it I am having trouble finding any after market parts for it.
Are there any bodies for this car once I tare mine up?
Also any thing you can tell me that might make my life easier with my new X1 CRT RTR.
Thank you all for your help.

I see in Jammin 101's car that there is a lot of exhaust hose. Would seem to me that shorter is better for that. What is the general opinion on that?

Sighh....
My radio had to get sent off for service, Tx stopped talking to Rx, and my engine (528XR) had an issue with the carb and had to be sent off for replacement. I was told the production run that my engine was in has had several carbs that were sticking across the whole range of travel after slight heat was applied. Novarossi is correcting the problem but it SUCKS having to sit out so many races! I am having withdrawl symptoms!!!
As far as the CRT, I have been racing the crap out of it and had some pretty wild crashes with absolutely no broken parts, except for the body cracking. This is one tough truck!

I've found a 15t cb a good match to the 528. The engine has the torque to overpower tires and the revs to tackle the longest straights. It actually makes the bottom-end a bit more controlable.

roaddell.
you pays your money and you takes your choice.
some of the guys here had them and some have goten rid of them.
some say vspec some say nova rossie p5
one thing about the p5 is that they use a regular plug not the expensive turbo plug.
i had a v spec in my jammin and i got so agravated with it i gave the whole thing away.
jammin spectrum rec hitec servo 1400mh bat pack jp2 pipev spec engine
right from the first day i had the v spec i had nothing but trouble trying to run it .
it was so tight that it would lock up on tdc and i would have to take a screw driver and turn the flywheel over to free it so it would turn over to be able to start.
well now that motor can bother the guy i gave it to and it won't bother me ever again.
i am looking real close at a p5x for my next motor i have a novarossie rex 528 in my hellfire and i have never had any tyrouble starting it what so ever.
so the choice is up to you.
