Default Land Cruiser build

My Land Cruiser CR-01

I'm using a modded TQ3, novak roster crawler, a pair of Hitec 645s, and a 5000 mAh 6-cell from cheapbatterypacks.com.

I made a magnet tray from a Gojo hand soap lid and a magnet from an auto transmission. It helps me not misplace things


Running Rock Crushers on Pro Line rims

6.5 oz of weight in the front tires, 4 oz in the rear. these are standard automobile wheel weights


Gear reduction hubs from 3Racing. we'll see how long they last

For the paint, I used a homemade blend of Krylon Fusion blue and Rustoleum Metallic Blue

the body isn't done. i plan on going two-tone as well as detailing it quite a bit.

next to Low Range's, Bronco

Couldn't wait to get it outside. my brother was in town, so we set out to play in the snow









I figured i needed larger tires for snow runs, so i got some big ass Imex's. that'll show those hubs who's boss

mounted on the stock cr01 wheels with no weight. threw in my new Losi mrc for a size reference for these beasts

I just noticed Sonic in the background

You should put the short barrels in to make up for the increase in COG from the portals, should help out alot on the hill climbs & such.

I love those Rock Crushers they look good. I wish I had the money for those. I need to start saving.

Nice job.

they work great. and they haven't broken yet. which is also good. all things considered, the price isn't bad for them either.
