I think one of the most unique aspect of this chassis is the center tranny... !

Info from Tamiya USA: "Planetary gearbox comes with20T pinion gear for a 40.5:1 gear ratio. Separately available 16T-25T pinion gears can be installed for gear ratios ranging from50.6:1 to 32.4:1."

The manual for the kit can be found on the link at Tamiya USA posted above. The tranny will be interesting. The axles also contain full diff if you decide to run it w/ open diff. A pin can be installed in to lock it fully. Similar to those found in the Hi-Lift series.

I have been around.. go check the Super Clod Buster thread.. LOL!! I built one of those recently... so now I am looking for a new project... and the new CR-01 is very interesting from the design point of view so I figured that I'd give it a try and share my findings with others here. Hopefully many others will be joining in by getting the kit as well!

Cool. Looking forward to see you build this one. Suspension looks a bit fragile, but maybe crawling isn't such a big strain?

Don't think it is meant to do jumps and stuff.... going slow on this thing.. ha!

Also, Tamiya plastic are generally pretty tough.. so I am not gonna worry about..

No doubt this thing will have plenty of aftermarket following!

Suspension setups for crawling have to be articulate and precise, not necessarily super beefy. It's not there to absorb massive impacts as much as its there to distribute the 4 wheels over awkward terrain.
