What constitutes a "real video"? There has been video up on the Tamiya USA website and youtube account for over a month now.

Personal Comments on my CR01.

Pros.
-Awesome quality and looks.
-Very low gearing, very good for crawling.
-Tons of bearings.
-Tamiya Quality.
-Very good looking FJ40 body.
-Tires are sticky and have good traction.
-Performs quite good for a truck w/ only 11" wheelbase


Cons.
-Could have use beefier and a bit longer driveshafts.
-Some hop up should have came with the kit considering it's price is a bit steep.
-Heavier than the axial ax-10.
-Plastic but very easy to install beadlocks.
-Wheelbase should have been atleast 11.5" so you get more choices of aftermarket bodyshells.

I'll add more soon since I only ran my Cr01 for like 10mins only....indoors...

Had the local cops out while I was testing the new CR-01 for an hour on the rocks. This truck performs way better then I would have ever thought. More pics and video and a little writeup to come later.
