|  GDD CR01 Landcruiser!!
Well after an epic build I finally got it done minus the body! Obviously it is heavier and a little more complex than a Scorpion! Very solid truck, I want to keep it as stock as possible but see how it goes! Need to get a decent servo first  Anyway hope you enjoy the pics, still needs to go and get dirty ;)     A couple of comparison pics!   |

At the moment I am running an Atlas 50T motor with the stock pinion but I will probably change the pinion out as it is a little fast. Got this hooked up to a Sidewinder ;)

Took it for a bit of a bash outside today but need to work more on my test track...this thing has potential and I am impressed. Feels solid and quiet stable but will see how it goes on the weekend! Grab a couple of pics outside..enjoy     |

Thanks for the comments. The colour is Tamiya PS-52 Champagne Gold Anondized Aluminium...applied on the outside of the shell. I sprayed the inside with a primer coloured paint for when it gets scratched. A work in progress so to speak ;) |

Thanks for the comments, the performance has really surprised me. It kept up with and in some places did better than the stock Scorpion however I really need to get it onto some tougher terrain and give it a good work out. So far I am very happy with it ;) |

nice ride, the outside paint idea on the bod is something i will keep an eye on for more pics, might be good for it to get scratched up a bit so we can see the primer again, nice color for sure... |

How did you get yours to articulate so much? Are you running without the stabilizer bars? Just curious. Love the color. I went with the deep green myself. |

Hey aidan! Nice too see you're still rocking the crawlers :P I'm tossing up between one of those or the AX-10, Which is better bang for buck preferabally and how does this go compared too the ax10 in general? Cheers! |

Hey Kanzai..... you get around ;) Still rocking the crawlers! As for which one, depends on what you want to do and where you crawl. The CR01 is great fun but the AX-10 will go places the CR01 won't although it is quite capable! Quote:
