cartronicshn's CR 01 Fjwacker Honduras style

[cartronicshn]

Here are some vids, i guess i am asking to much of my rig, this is actually where i test my comp rigs, the cr 01 is a nice basher/crawler rig in stoc form, and i will leave it like that, don't get me wrong it's a fun rig to drive around, right now it's my favorite along with my hl , i think the short wb is what is keeping it from performing better in my rockpile.



And this one shows you the raw power of the Novak Goat system, this on 6 cells only.

[cartronicshn]

These are the comp heavies wheels from eritex, and i did add 4 oz of lead weight in each front wheel, and 2oz in the back+ kreepy red foams upfront.

[cartronicshn]

I really love thsi rig, it's fun, but i think the badlands as great tires as they are don't look the scale part for the fj, so i decided to put a more "street" look with the Eritex 5 spoke wheels and the hammers m3, i will get pics of them installed and video of them on the rocks, as soon as i finish installing these tires, they are a bitch to install.


Had 2 choices, all black

Aluminum rings, i think these look better,


And the tire mounted on the wheel

[cartronicshn]

Couple more pics and some short vid, these wheels/tires don't have any weight added to them and they have the stock proline memory foams, i feel the badlands gripped a little better, but this isn't my comp rig so i went more with the scale look, it's less heavy now, i am just staring to test these tires i have some hybrid memory foams i can try out later.







I know, i know my power switch is just dangling there, i have to find a good place to put it

[cartronicshn]

And now, the videos on my rockpile.

I put my esc switch right on the r/r body post, used those small azz screws for the beadlocks to attach the switch to the post -works perfect.

It gives you just enough room to be able to hit the switch, but sadly I added a cc bec today so mines useless and I have to go back to disconnecting a battery or install another switch

I put mine on the side of the frame rail using 1 of the many holes, can be easiy reached by the drivers side rear wheel well.

By the looks of things I'd just add some weight to the front wheels to keep the nose down. I know that is really all I felt mine needed. I'm running flat irons on mine now, standard foam and the GOAT with 18m pinion.

[cartronicshn]

Thanks for all the input, i will someday install that switch correctly, i am just lazy like that, a couple of scale additions as this is going to be a basher.

Looking good Carlos!

[v10king]

Looks great, I am thinking a CR-01 will be the next crawler for me.

[EeePee]

Hey Carlos, I got my 5000 mah charged up and I'm driving it to Honduras! Yeeeeeaaahh!!!11

Actually man, will you do me a favor and see how the Tamiya FJ body sizes up on that new Pajero you just got? You're the only one I'm aware of to have both in your possession. You're special!

Thanks Carlos! (If you do it.)

[cartronicshn]

Dez and V10king, thanks for the comments.
Hey EeePee here you go, sorry for the crappy pics that's the best my camera can do:-(, the wacker is in there for reference so is the pajero munted on the cr-01.

[EeePee]

Thanks buddy!

Looks like the Tamiya FJ will fit on a CC-01.

And then use the Pajero on a ... a something else.

[cartronicshn]

I'll get youy a pic of the fj body on the cc-01 chassis, extended and stock tomorrow.

[Mesozoic]

I just ordered the CR01 kit and am waiting for it to arrive. Do you guys know if anyone makes an old Bronco body that will fit on one of these trucks? I have an old '79 Bronco, so I'd like to put one on if I can.

[cartronicshn]

Back from the dead, i had a set of unused flatirons in m2 and m3 compound, i also had a set of proline beadlocks, and i mounted them up and really liked the scale look of the tire and i decided to put them on my cr o1 and i think they look cool.

The new meats look great Cart. How do the Flat Irons perform ? I am thinking of getting some for my rig.
