I can't wait either.I sold all my tlt axles last fall,my ax-10 x-trail in Jan. and my Hilux last month.I'm bored,need to build something soon.Nice to see the pinion drilled and new driveshafts from Tamiya.

So, sorry if I missed this but with 14 pages in two threads...... Does anyone have one other than Tamiya? Like, a magazine?... Maybe one in specific?

They haven't hit the market yet, so no one has them but Tamiya. Scheduled due date is April or May. The magazines usually get them 2-3 weeks in advance, although that depends on product, shipping times, etc.

What would be nice is if they came out with a Jeep body for it too....

I think it's interesting that this kit uses 5x10 rather than 5x11 bearings. Not that it's a big deal, I just thought that it was interesting.

I also noticed that the inner axles are about 5mm wider (10mm total for both sides) than the Highlift inner axles.

Highlift inner axles are 92mm and 55mm wide, 147mm total. TLT inner axles are 74mm and 68mm, 142mm total. The new CR-01 is 61mm and 96mm, 157mm total. Now this is going off the manual at 100% but it's possible that the axles could be as much as 10mm wider than the highlift. The actual axle width of course is up in the air but I thought it was interesting that they could be wider.

The instructions also mention ball bearings (another huge bonus!!!!)

Overall it looks like a great kit though. I think there is a lot of potential for a ton of new builds, and offering it in the US first is a huge bonus

Larrio · 03-12-2008, 03:39 PM

I can take measurements if you'd like, but you'll have to tell me exactly where. The CR-01 is sitting across from my desk.

EeePee · 03-12-2008, 03:42 PM

Outside of the wheel hex to the outside of the other wheel hex would be great Larrio.

Thorsteenster · 03-12-2008, 03:46 PM

I'm curious about the WB too, but yeah, definately hex to hex.

kaetwo · 03-12-2008, 04:06 PM

EeePee is spot on. Outside of the hex to outside of the hex would be perfect.

Or better yet your welcome to send it too me and I'll make sure to get the specs out to everyone

Larrio · 03-12-2008, 06:01 PM

206mm, outside of the hex to the outside of the other hex. Does this sound right?

Thorsteenster · 03-12-2008, 06:37 PM

8.11024"

kaetwo · 03-12-2008, 09:07 PM

Thanks Larrio for doing that

TLT axles are 180mm/7.086" That's a full inch wider than stock TLT's :-(

Looks like I'll be hording my TLT axles for scale projects, but the new axles will be a fun addition to the scale club :-)

Thorsteenster · 03-13-2008, 08:20 AM

I wonder if something like this will work on the CR-01 axles.....

Looks good but I will get the Axial 10 RTR first ...its a great deal IMO since even the kit was over $400 here shipping it in from the US as RTR is cheaper than buying the kit here

BitHed · 03-14-2008, 10:08 PM

...that timing means it should have pretty decent coverage in next months magazines...Dont forget teh Hobby Show in Shizuoka in May...No doubt they will have all the add-ons / hop-ups stuck up on boards for us to look at...
