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.

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: http://www.simensays.com/tamiya (build animation in a pop-up) http://www.simensays.com/tamiya/build.html (build animation - no pop-up) Last edited by simensays; 03-21-2008 at 06:12 AM. |

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! |

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).   |

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..

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...

You guys worried about locked diffs need to look at step 7 in the manual. They lock like the High-Lift axles. |
