Sounds like we'll have an online build soon.

i think you should fly out to denver and do the build live on the web cam here at RCC's hq!

Stormin2u · 03-20-2008, 08:28 AM

Tamiya has done a great job on this rig they will sell lots of these. I also like their interest and involvement in the Scale Nationals looks like Crawling is no longer a fad.

TwistedXT · 03-20-2008, 08:32 AM

does anyone know what the wheelbase is adjustable from and to?

Looks to be about 1/2" front and rear of adjustability from what i can see. but does anyone have the definate numbers on it?

simensays · 03-21-2008, 03:30 AM

Larrio, if you send me one - I'll do an interactive buildup like the one I made for the Wild Willy 2 four years ago, but more detailed and with studio photos:

How many turns does the motor have that comes with the kit?

I saw in the manual that it will be using LSDs, am I correct?
I tought locked differentials are better for crawling?

Thanks!

i believe it comes with a 27 turn stock Tamiaya 540 sized can motor

it is set up so you can install led's.. it does not come with em

locked is better... err.. best i plan on JB weld'n the spyder gears.. or give it a couple of weeks and someone will produce on weather it be Tamiya or aftermarket

sorry but I wrote LSDs (Limited Slip Differentials)

Thanks for the reply!

simensays · 03-21-2008, 08:28 AM

instead of JB weld, why not use original Tamiya difflocks found in the XC kits (g spur)?
They replace the spider gears, and are a reversible lock without damaging any parts. I bought several sets years ago, and they are still available (Tamiya VW Touareg and the re-release of the XC Pajero uses them, so spares isn't a problem).

tcv_racing · 03-21-2008, 08:38 AM

will it fit the cr-01 diff? If it does then this is the best diff lock for the cr-01.. cheap, reversible, and easy to install..

simensays · 03-21-2008, 08:46 AM

From only looking at the manual, I'd say they'll fit (same internal diff gears as various other models).
They are a direct fit in the TLT axles, and I don't think Tamiya has made the spider gears in a different size for the CR01 axles.

I use them on my TLT axles, and on the Tamiya XC chassis...

JasonInAugusta · 03-21-2008, 08:58 AM

You guys worried about locked diffs need to look at step 7 in the manual.

They lock like the High-Lift axles.

tcv_racing · 03-21-2008, 09:09 AM

i guess i wasn't reading carefully.. thanks jason!

im so excited to get my hands on this thing! this will be my very first rock crawler.. but i still have to wait a little over a month, Japan release date will be on April 26..

Makes perfect sence... i havent built a f350 chassis so i wasnt aware of the pin locker. Thnaks as always Jason!

TwistedXT · 03-21-2008, 02:59 PM

i got it hooked up from FinishLine RC here in Denver (Thanks Dan!) , once it comes in i may get down and dirty with a build thread if Jason doesnt beat me to it.
