|  CR-01 with a new body (Chevy Silverado SS)... What colour?
Found this body (don't know what it is, I've lost the receipt and am not familiar with the trucks) from the closet:  Opinions, would it fit with the CR-01?  What colour should I paint it (preferably combination of the colours in image below)? Left to right: Fasblue, Faskoat, Fasred, Faspearl orange, Fastint, Faspearl white, Faspearl silver, Faskrome (satin). Thanks! Last edited by tomik; 11-06-2008 at 02:41 AM. |

Looks good now you have a silverado ss.  Are you going to carve up the wheelwells or are you going to extend your wheelbase?

Don't know yet. A friend of mine told I should go with the 1.9 and I have to admit, it could be a nice move. I could mount the body as low as possible and the chassis rails would be invisible, but... I love the Hammers and the ground clearance. With the 2.2 I'd have to carve half the body (unless I limit the shock travel) :(. It's a quite hard decision. To "ruin" the body and go with better lines or not ruin the body and be stuck in every small obstacle :P. |

I think 1.9's would look really small under a body that big, but its up to you. Id stay 2.2, maybe some narrowed 2.2's. Its definatley a Chevy Silverado though. |

They might look small, true. I don't own 1.9 tires, so I can't test. Maybe I'll just cut some of the body and stick with the 2.2 .

I'd mount it at least a cm or two higher than it sits in that first pic

That'd also solve part of the flex problem. This thing is having a break, because the weather doesn't allow going crawling (I don't drive in rain) and I don't have an ESC at the moment (Tekin FXR is already on its way ).

keep 2.2's and the body at that height, just trim some to allow flex. It'll look much better than the ''body on stilts'' look with to much chassis showing. |
