|  ... TAMIYA CRO1 Converts to the x-Trail ... TAMIYA CRO1 CONVERSION TO AN x-TRAIL BY m&mKrawler and JRock... I wasn't a BIG fan of the CRO1 chassis even tho the purpose was to be different. It seemed too jumpy for my taste. I'm pretty sure there are alot of guys who have no issues and have DIALED rigs. This isn't saying anything negative about the CRO1 but we all know everyone has their preferance...  I'm sure my rig wasn't dialed as it should but I do prefer the x-Trail chassis..  |

your rear driveshaft angle hasn't given you any trouble?

There is no oil in the shocks yet...it will do even better when I finally add oil.The shaft is really not a problem at all. He did an awesome job just a few more mods and it'll be done. Probably use the ' Pro-line FORD F-650 ' bodyalso...........THANKS for the coments......... looking forward to more....

Did the CR-01 skid with tranny drop straight in and did you use the original links? Looks good |
