This thing looks serious, graphite chassis, alloy wheels, supply your own electrics...

Here's another site you probably can't read most of, but has lots of pics, and even shows how to hook a Mini-Z PCB to a standard servo.

I been lookin at one for a while now, but after LBRC said what he had to say, I've been holding off. I think they are the same, or very similar...

Nah, I don't think they are the same. This chassis looks super simple. Doubt it could weigh much. Besides, the graphites is mostly for stifness, so suspension tweaks are noticable. Carpet racers need that. Either way, not much use to me, no carpet tracks around, and it look like you can only use it on the flattest sutfaces. I just thought it was cool. That was a funny post from LBRC though, you gotta love that ebay hyped shit.

Definitely a different car the CRT is a 1:32 chassis, bigger than an Epoch but smaller than a Mini-Z, uses Revel slot car bodies, but unfortunately it's a little too big for some of the really cool 1:32 slot car boddies. I don’t have one but have driven it, definitely needs a track, preferably a good and large level, non pile, indoor outdoor carpet. Everything is exceedingly tight but there is almost no ground clearance so even on a RCP track you can have problems if one of the tabs is sticking up.
