GDD CR01 Landcruiser!!

[genki]

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!

good job, I'm about halfway there myself. What'r you running for a motor? I am putting in a novak Goat with 18 tooth pinion. Hitec 645mg servo, ofna saver.

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

looks good ,cant wait to finish mine, only one problem what color to paint it!

[Trikster]

Nice color, what is it?

[genki]

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 ;)

Good idea,I'll be watching for the progress on the body.

Here are a couple of pics nothing special ;)

Good job on the build! Nice choice of colors.

Ssure looks good crawling,nice colour.How good does it crawl.Mines built just needs painting and electrics and fix what i buggered up when i built it.

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 ;)

...Genki how do you like the stock tires? worth a shot on an AX10 maybe?

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.

Yeah, I decided not to run the stabilisers and I used some light oil...I think 35W!

Found this great product here and have been giving a try on some bodies I have recently been making as well as the Cruiser.

Basically it is rust ;)

Here are some pics

That looks awesome!!! The rust looks great!

[dieselfuel]

dude where did you get the rust stuff? thats killer and would look awesome on one of my upcoming projects!

[Kanzai]

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!

[genki]

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!

The product is made by a store here in Japan, their original product. It is a 2 part solution of a metal type paint which is applied and once dry you apply the second part and over 2 days it will literally "rust". Works on plastic, wood and metal
