Default CR-01 Unimog from Portugal... finished setup and firts hop-ups

Just finished the initial setup and first hop-ups ("bent" arms from Tamiya and metal shaft from GPM) of my first R/C model... a Unimog CR-01...

Some videos (all available in High Definition):

Looks good!

I noticed in your first vid you have the diff unlocked, doesn't like to go up hill very well.

Nick and all,

After re-checking the diff lock tight I took it to some field test. The back right wheel when facing any minimal attrition will stop giving traction. If I get the CR-01 out of the ground all wheels work and apparent at the same speed. Any clue? Or should I go "straight" for a full axis disassembling and re-check? Thank you for tall the feedback anyone can get me...

... just found the "bug": on a previous maintenance routine, the BA14 part, a stainless locking pin 2x9.8mm was not assembled on that side. Fortunately it was kept on the spare box...

Default "A Steep Climb"

... video and photo report on a very steep climb (approx. 60 degrees) "trial" this Sunday morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBfXE8mHh2s .

Next week I might just give it a try on the left trail (?) - the very rough option...
