Pretty nice add-ons. Personally I would have gone with plain aluminum or maybe black aluminum. Not a fan of how the blue looks with a yellow body, but overall, great stuff there.

You should see this thing in person, In my opinion the truck is a eye catcher but don't know how good all that wheight will perfrom under presure and off camber positions.I guess the only way is for atomicmods to put electonics and test it out and see the outcome it will have.

Are those the STRC parts or another company?

I want to refit my own CR-01 with as many metal parts as possible, and so have been building up a list of companies that supply such parts, besides the Tamiya hop-up parts. The real nuisance is trying to decide which ones to go for, where there is repetition, and whether the items from different companies will work together. I'm not overly concerned about the extra weight - I'm not taking the crawling bit too seriously, but I do want to get more involved in modding, as I enjoy the building and tinkering about.

STRC seems to have a few little pieces, but of most interest to me are the centre skid, servo plates and bumper brackets.

I'd really like a pair of axle housings (the whole assembly, in fact) from RC4WD, but the housings are sold out.

I like the idea of metal planetary assembly, as supplied by HotRacing, but I guess that puts the diffs under more strain. I also like the variety of links they have for sale.

I am interested in the front skid, servo plate and battery holder offered by JunFac, and possibly a set of shocks, but, like the other suppliers, I can't tell whether they are any good.

The sideplates on the CR-01 above look like the ones from 3Racing, so I'm guessing that the rest of the mods are maybe from them too, but I'm off to check out their site to find out.

If anybody knows of any other manufacturers of CR-01 mod parts, I'd love to know.

Default atomic mods

all the hop ups you see are at atomicmods.com in houston. They are the ones that own that truck. Talk to Frank, and also they sell the cr-01 for 289.00 there.
