So this is my CR-01 that i have been trying to get as comp able as possible. I finally got a dig unit installed in this thing. I had to make a new skid plate and get creative with the servo, but it works like a champ.

If you have any improvement ideas please let me know!!!

Nice work, looking forward to seeing it perform sunday

I see Mike's had a horn for you, any chance he had any more in stock?

This one was the old horn I had. I just made it work. He has more if you need it.

Right on, I'll have to drop by there today.

Oh, by the way, improvement ideas???.....I don't have any, this thing works very well the way you have set it up, which will be even better now that you have dig.

I got a holmes hobbies 35t motor in this thing to get the wheel speed back to where it needed to be. it has more speed than stock now by a little. also it has a bit more torque. the novak 55t was good, but this is way better. the dig works flawless and keeps this thing from going ass over teakettle down big hills. I can use it to fight torque twist as well. That 3600 pack life was cut in almost half with the extra high power servo and the motor not that it matters i still get over an hour and that includes long expeditions at full throttle from one place to the next.

Here are some recent pictures from an expedition today. These rocks were slippery with tons of moss. I still had a good time.

And incase anyone wondered here are the things you will need to put a dig into this truck

sorry i have issues with orienting my pictures. I think you get the idea anyway.

I'm always looking for more suggestions!!! Thanks.

So the 35T did the job?

Where's the spot you took the pics, looks like fun.

this spot is at the base of The Dalles bridge on the Oregon side. these rocks are great and there are a ton of them. During the hot months there is not nearly as much moss. The rocks are everywhere though and some time i want to stop along highway 14 where there are even more potential rock stops.

Right on, so opposite side of the river from where I stopped a few weeks ago

I'll have to check it out next time I'm down there.
