Default Danfs CR-01

A few piccys of my CR-01 in its various forms.

Original FJ40 on 2.2s



Fitted with shell off 15 year old Hornet based monster truck, for bashing



and finally my personal favourite, fitted with Land Rover shell on 1.9s

Wheels are the same as RC Channel, but market in UK as Fastrax Kong - good for £20.

Now added RC Channel Hilux axles, to reduce track width, primarily for Defender shell, but the LandCruiser also looks great on them. Bit of work moving links round to get right wheelbase, but I'm quite pleased with them.

And, of course, the Landy.

Since last installment, I decided to replace Land Rover bumper with original CR-01 item, fitted via some sitable extension brackets, to bring it forward far enough.

Also added some steel driveshaft yokes intended for Traxxas Stampede, to try to eliminate slight issues I was having with standard Tamiya items. RC Channel axle input shafts don't have pin holes - just a flat, so I had fitted original yokes with screws, which didn't work particularly well, stretching plastic, and resulting in yoke sliding off.

New bumper


Flex shots, as requested. I have limited flex with stiff anti roll bars at both ends - seems to work better like that.
