|  Kamikaze Kustoms Zero 4.0 Tamiya CR-01
Hi all, Just a few pic`s to show what I have been upto the past couple of days. Got the KK chassis from RuffRyder, with the intention of rebuilding my CR-01 with a new lower Chassis. I have had to make a new skid plate as the original is a little bit small for the CR gearbox. Made it from some 8mm Delrin. Need to sort the Geometry out and the wheelbase but it`s getting there.    This is with my first cutting board skid plate, then a big sheet of 8mm Delrin turned up at work from RS Componments so I made version 2. Its a bit tight in there, but I didnt want to go stupidly wide with the chassis. Last edited by igbandy; 09-22-2009 at 04:31 PM. |

I like the idea you got,But I wanted to give you heads up on that DIG unit you got on your CR-01 trans.I had one on my CR-01 COMP rig and it lasted three comps and it wore out bad,The company don't have a rebuild kit for it. The only way you can rebuild it is buy another unit,at 50.00 plus shipping it gets pricy. Iwent with a RC4WD R2 trans w/ a DIG and it works very well. Hears pics of mine     I hope this info helps you. but nice build so far! |

Thankyou for your replies, I am aware of the dig weakness mine has done several comps and is worn. But I will make a new sleeve/bearing for it very soon. Another minor update, been sorting out the links still not %100 happy with them tho. I am using Losi crawler shocks, running as semi droop. Skid height is around 2 3/4". Will be more running my X-Locs. Need to sort out somewhere to mount the dig servo, and make a couple of delrin chassis stiffeners.  |

This rig had its first comp last weekend since its major rebuild. It is deffinetly better, feels alot more planted to drive. The links needed some work, and I am now experimenting with a semi locked link set up on the rear. I ran it with some RC4WD X-Locs on 8 shooters, due to the course being very jaggedy, but they didnt suit how I had set it up for the Rock Claws on the DNA wheels. Plus I didnt get chance to reweight or replace the foams in the X-Locs  .The freewheel that I added to the dig is also nice to have as well. I will update with some more pics soon  .
