|  CR-01 Driveshaft question
Hi everyone, found this place while looking for some other info and registered! I have a newly built Cr-01 which is almost completely stock. I am running an EZ Run 32T Crawler Combo with a 3S Lipo 1850 Mah. I found the wheelspeed to slow with 7.2V which is why I went to the 3S lipo. I am only running fromt steering and using a Hitec 645HG servo. My question is regarding the driveshafts, more specifically the rear. I have noticed that the two pieces of the driveshaft barley slide in to one another. I haven't measured but I am certain that less than 1/8" is actually inside. This has resulted in the shaft popping out twice now. What I find strange is that the hop up option from Tamiya lists the front as being longer. Myy rear driveshaft angle may be off a tiny bit, but not enough to make such a huge difference. The only way I can see to get more of the shaft inserted is to shortehn the wheelbase by moving the rear links closer/higher or by moving the motor/tranny mounting plate back. If I move the motor.tranny plate back, I would need to do some fabrication as the holes wouldn't line up in anything other than the stock position. I have double checked and all my links seemt o be in the correct position. Can anyone help? Mark |

I had to go look at mine, the rear is shorter. Is your motor on the left side? |

I used a T-Maxx drive shaft for mine. All you have to do is drill out the yoke a little to make it fit on the shaft that comes out of the diff. I cut the length down a little as well but the end result is a much beefier drive shaft that is plenty long enough.

if you ever get out near UBC, there is a spot that is near a bunch of developments that are going up, huge pile, and there is a huge steep pile of dirt just beside it. here is the google map: http://maps.google.ca/maps?client=sa...N&hl=en&tab=wl it is basically on the corner of benton ave and birney ave. stumbled apon it after a trail runnin pacific spirit park. i have quite the coarse set up, i will mark it out next time i am there. great course for both scalers and crawlers.    |
