Wait until you get the CR01, the same parts you use for the front for steering are the same ones you will need for the rear.

All you need to buy is a second servo for the rear steer...all the needed parts are included in the kit...

If you use a Y-harness+servo reverser, you only need 2ch.

Ordered it now. Are there any parts that i should order for it straight away ? I want more pinions so which pinions works for this one? Never had a tamiya before so dunno what pinions they use.? Are they 3.2mm or other ? Which pitch do they use ? Going to use my 2.4Ghz spektrum and castle sidewinder esc in it. Also adding the Punk Rock Crawling computer just to try it out. Peter |

Ordered a bunch of alu parts for it as well as some spare tamiya parts. Also ordered 2 15kg servos that will work fine. Did a small test with the PunkRC computer with some old servos and works really nice. Cant wait to install it in the truck when it arrives. The car u see in the vid is just because i didnt bother taking the servo off so used that servo with the loose one i had Here´s the VIDEO |

Buy the traxxas hardened output shafts and drive shafts. You will have to short one shaft though. Plus a better set of shocks. Other than that read this thread From the Land of Sky Blue Waters.... It gives alot of good suggestions.

I have mine built and really happy with it so faar but i have a small problem. When i am crawling in places where it flexes alot the rear wheels keep rubbing to the body where the lights are as shown in the pic ? I like to have alot of flex but not so much that i have to modify the scale body. Any Ideas ?  Doesnt rub agains the body in the pic but u see what i mean. |

There's a couple of options, trim th body higher, raise the body even more, get a longer wheel based body. I got the proline bushwacker body works good for 2ws, but as soon as I added the 4ws ,the rear hits the body when turning, I gotta trim it to clear, as for the orginal body I have a lighting kit in the works that uses the 3rd channel so I wont have that issue. |
