damn that's alot of flex! not very stock?

low_range · 01-26-2010, 04:01 AM

No cantilevers, and judging by link placement, looks like a stretched wheelbase too.

Id try to get your rear upper links more parallel to the ground if possible, it will help with handling. Other than that, looks good

xxViking · 01-26-2010, 11:15 AM

Thanks;)

The motor is a Peak Performance "animal". Im not sure how it will work in the cr-01 but i have to try;)

Body:

860Crawler · 02-09-2010, 03:51 PM

haha, I like how they put a sticker on the servo telling you not to throw it away

xxViking · 02-11-2010, 03:25 PM

Got some new parts from Rcmart today.

dare · 02-13-2010, 01:30 AM

how much money can one man throw at a cr01

,

rabfan · 02-13-2010, 01:38 PM

Hey Viking! Looking good. I'm starting my build today. It has almost as much aluminum as yours!

ageekwithabaja · 02-13-2010, 10:05 PM

Very nice

How is that body going to work with all that flex ?

vanDongen2 · 03-29-2010, 07:25 AM

Nice Flex, Does it touch the body?
I removed the springs and went for coilovers last year, but don't know if it's better, I mean it looks better but don't know if it really drives better..

I got all that 3racing alu too, it fits really nice, but I had to get rid of the ugly blueness.

What color is the body? Does it match the blue alu?

2500hdon37s · 03-30-2010, 09:29 PM

thats too much flex, when you get in a small flexed bind th crawler will want to wrap up in its self. average newbie mistake. (i was the same way when i started! dont be ashamed) and heres another tip NEVER I REPEAT NEVER BUY Integy!!!!! the parts are knock offs and really low quality
