Looks great! Has an almost monster truck stance to it.

Re: New guy with a cr01
 

Looking good. I know the CR-01 can't compete with modern rigs but Tamiya's engineering always appeals to me. Still on the look out for the jeep version but they command stupid prices.

I didn't know much at all about the rc crawler scene when I got this,I spent a few years building tamiya 1/16 tanks then woke up one morning sold the tanks and bought 3 tamiya trucks,a stadium thunder,a clod buster and the rocksocker kit.
I'm trying to decide what to get next so am reading as much as I can to get up to speed.

I don't compete, don't even know what the crawler/scaler scene is like where I live. I run what
1. Interests me
2. I can afford.

My current wish list is a CR-01, a Tamiya Jaegermeister Capri, and a Cross MC 8. When funds allow.

I had a look at the Capri Bryan because I'd not heard of one and that's way cool,I'm guessing we are a similar age ( it looks a lot like the zakspeed Capri I grew up wanting lol)
We have an rc club about 10 mins from where I live with a tarmac track so I should realy build some kind of touring car and go join in.

Just got to find a buyer for a kidney because I now want an axial bomber and a touring car lol

Nice looking CR-01! They are very cool trucks because of the unique engineering like most Tamiyas.

If you ever want to get upgrades for the truck start with new tires.

Re: New guy with a cr01
 

Thanks for the tip,any suggestion on what tyres would be best.

A lot of it depends on your terrain. Here on the rocky, wooded East Coast of the US I prefer Proline Hyrax or Super Swampers and Pitbull Rock Beasts.

Great looking rig. Any future plans?

That is a really nice looking CR01. I really should start building mine one of these days.
