RE: Going Slow is The Way To Go - Tamiya CR-01 Resource Thread!

LB,

It actually does steer - I was surprised. I only locked the rear and was able to get over everything I wanted. I just did not want a huge turning radius. I might lock the front as well.

Been awhile - but I got the Land Cruiser done. Nothing fancy - just used all the stock stuff and a Tazer 12t ESC. Took it out and it was a blast. Oh yah - I added lights as well.

No pic, but if you look at Mark's you can see the three holes in the CF rear shock tower - put it in the middle. Really helps the bounce. I also use 30w in the front and 27 1/2 in...

RE: ROCK CRAWLER !!!

Agree - The central gear reduction is cool.

Lunch,

Got mine yesterday - the box is huge.

It is going to take me a while to build though - kinda in between moves and don't have the space right now.

You get yours?
