Default Kinda Scale CR-01

This is my CR-01 pretty much stock so far except for the integy 55 turn motor, and scale add on's. Can't decide on what esc or color' I'm thinking medium blue with white top and white wheels. What do you guys think?
Other plans are to make the antenna come out the back like a cb antenna. Let me hear some feed back with ideas, thanks Jeff










Thanks for looking

I use a rooster-crawler esc, and I am very content with it (but I don't have much experience crawling).

I have the Rooster in my Axial and a Mamba max in my HPI RS4 MT but just wanted some ideas for my scaler. Still can't figure out what color to paint it.
Thanks for the replies, Jeff

Well still not done with the stickers, :-( but I have decided that they look crappy anyway so I'm going to paint all the window trim black on the outside as well as repaint the top( it's to bright ) but here is what I've got so far. This is custom mixed blue diamont base coat I mixed up a work. The pics do not show all the pearl very well but here it is






Let me know what ya think.

I like the "tire brace"holding the spare on,nice touch,the body mounts are a good idea also but what about changing the battery ,do you have to remove the screws all the time?

Ya it's kind of a pain but like the looks and nothing to hang up on.

William there are just the 4 screws holding the body on.


Thanks for the comments still a work in progress though.
