Default 2 New CR01's on the new Rock Course!

My friend and I were in Japan and decided what the hell lets buy a CR01 so we did and shipped them back! They are easily $120 cheaper in Japan then here so that helped in the decision. I gotta say that I love these trucks, they crawl very well for a scaler.

They both are running Novak Rooster Crawler ESC's. Mine has a 100T motor and my friends has a 110T motor. Both motors work great, anyone else running really high turn motors?

Mine is the blue one and the white and black is my friends.

Hmm, at a $120 discount (around $200), I am sure they would sell more of these.

I should have mentioned neither of the trucks are done! We just wanted to crawl with the bodies so we did.

On the last pic of your blue one I see the stabilizer bar there in the rear. Do you have one in the front? I left both of mine out, I didnt really see the point crawls super awesome, just wondering?

Yea I am gonna take the front one out today, I think you may need it in the rear to keep the body from rubbing.

I think your right my tires definatly rub in the back!! It sounds cool and I think it adds to the whole effect, lol! I think I am going to trim a little bit of the body in the back.

Remove the front but keep the rear stabilzer bar. With the rear one out i had way to much torque twist it crawls so much better with the rear one in.

so more like $80 but still plenty

That's quoting the cheapest place to buy the CR-01 in Japan 219.258 US and RCPs price $299 online they are basically the same price as the US

Nice trucks...

Thanks CC I will try that. It does get a lot of twist especially with the goat brushless kit I have!
