|  Casper's CR-01
I just picked this kit up last week and love it! I decided to chop the body wasn't really into my original paint job. Mods so far are Tamiya: carbon steel propeller shaft 85mm & 95mm bent lower arms front & rear aluminum shocks reinforced drive shaft & diff lock setting stabilizer kit (only running the softest one on the rear only) 21T pinion gear pentagram wheels aluminum bead locks vise crawler tires (soft) rooster esc 35T cr tuned motor couple of 5000MaH lipo 28C batteries (for the long hauls)  I'm about almost done just waiting on some scale accessories to arrive for final fitment.

I really like the new FJ body on there! What shell is that? You got some nice bling on there too.  For my car I had to cut the roof section off following the lines starting behind the front windows. Then from the back section I cut where the curved section starts. I used the extra plastic I had to make a bed and sealed everything together with plastic cement. I also removed the fenders as well. It took some time and it isn't all that clean my first time doing something like this. It really isn't hard just need some steady hands and patience.  |

Thanks! My original thread is here from when I got the CR-01. After checking it out for a while here and on RCU and elsewhere I finally joined the site Adventure on the Logs |
