If you take a look at my build thread (ah, hmm, incomplete build thread), you will see that the acccess to motor is pretty good.. you take the cover off, and you can get to the 2 screws that hold the motor! Not sure if you have to drop the tranny or not, but it is pretty easy too!

i know this is off subject but check out this web site... www.planeclub.weebly.com this is a cool site.

My credit card hates your build threads (joke)

It's really hard to tell until the whole thing is together whether or not if it's worth it. For example:TLT-1 must take 3/4 a part while F-150 is 2 tires & 2 motor screws.

Zeffle

It's eight screws, and it doesn't leave the truck in a mess when you remove them.

I finished the basher body this arvo, it's a proline bushwacker, will keep the FJ shell to look nice, to week to scratch it It was hard enough on the first role over with the wacker[&:] will probably go for a trail run tomorrow

Bling CR-01?! [X(]

Krawlin

Wow, it looks, ummm, different..... LB, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO A TOYOTA!!!! They look better when they are beat up/have body damage! TRAIL SCARS[sm=devious.gif]!!


EDIT: What paint is that? Is it one of those SpazStix brand paints, because I know they make all of those wild paints.

Lunchboxer

Blue CR-01 looks good too!!

Lunchboxer

LOL, no no, that's not mine!! I am just posting pics to this resource threads so people can see everything that's done to this chassis, ha!!

Mine will be a yellow one, I think.. (like a LB?! ha!)

Krawlin

NICE VOLVO MAN!!!!!!!!!


Now thats better. I like the blue alot better than the bling.

Lunchboxer

This is a light yellow.. I think.. I think mine will be darker yellow...

Krawlin

Oh, I thought that was yours, LOL. (And I thought the blue one on the volvo was yours too, LOL!) [sm=red_smile.gif]

Yellow will look really good I think. I havent seen a yellow one yet, but I think it will go perfect.

Just a suggestion, but maybe make it like a drab tan color?

Lunchboxer

Box art red is good too! Actually look kind of scale.. well, kind of.. like the one w/ a lift and big tires.. ha!

Lunchboxer

Hmm.. orange, eh?! That's kind of cool too!

Anyway, I guess I will finish the mechanical build first before I worry about the color on the shell.. ha!

Krawlin

I am not a huge Tamiya fan like you, and I dont much care for the box art color. I think it would look really scale, like and old FJ40, if it were painted in a distresed/drab tan color. Maybe use a lighter to put some faux body damage in! (Look in the scale section off www.rccrawler.com/forum , and you will see some really cool and very realistic body damage on some of the nicer scale builds.)

Lunchboxer

Ha, yeah.. I know some people can do really nice scale build.. not me.. I will just build it up and bash it.. and it will have natural scars that way...

Zeffle

I am going to paint my FJ body yellow to, i already bought the paint, COPYCAT!!!

Lunchboxer

I ordered my Tamiya PS-19 Camel Yellow paint on 4/5... when did you order yours?!

Zeffle

Aw man i got it last weekend[:@] lol

Lunchboxer

LOL, it is all good.. it is all for good fun!

I can't wait to spend some time and work on the CR-01! Been busy!

Soothsayerman

Wow this vehicle looks a lot more scale than I thought it would, and it looks more capable than a beginner crawler. hmmmmm... I may have to get one of these... grrr.

Zeffle

A beginner crawler, as in an aixal AX10, some people think it's better i certain situations but the axial would probably be better generally. That said, the CR01 is a good truck and very fun, that's what this Hobbie is about right?

It's sort of scale but is to wide and the tires are to big, if you changed that it wouldn't be so caperbull, it's all a trade off...

ill post a pick to show later.

Zeffle

Just the airports?

Lunchboxer

Get one and join the club!!

It is no competition crawler, but should be pretty capable!
