thanks, for e reference pixs, alreadi have 1 in mind, onli thing is finding e time to do it.

You are welcome. Just some examples of stock 1975 model year Land Cruiser paint schemes. Maybe someone else can benefit from them or be inspired ay them.:)

Good luck with the rest of your build. The build pics are great and I'm sure your paint job will be great also.

nice looking crawler u have....so far e build been great, trusting tamiya to come out a great kit.... but e articulation seems to be veri limited as compared to mi other crawler, AX10

here's a peek of mi AX10

sounds like you had the same problem a lot of people have had with the sun gear bearing being such a tight fit. before you go too much further, you might want to check the transmission for smooth operation. when assembled correctly, you have a very smooth rotation with almost no resistance (without the motor installed).

aside from that, build looks good so far. :)

The CR-01 chassis is pretty tunable and can be set up to articulate quite well.


http://www.tamiyacrawlers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=120&pictureid=883

I changed a few things in the rear to allow more droop,which increased the travel in the rear quite a bit.

http://www.tamiyacrawlers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=120&pictureid=881

Give it a chance. It's a good little trail truck. :)


:Tamiya1::crawlers:

[LOSIASSOCIATED#1]

Yes I agree with Arcocustoms its a good trail rig I wanted more and everybody in my car club said it could never be done I proved them wrong,Thats the only reason I made mine the way it is my wife wants a stock CR-01 because she remembers the CR-01 before it did it transformation.
Give it a chance 3 Racing makes alot of good after market stuff for the CR-01 i recomend not to get their drive shafts they suck.
Thats my two cents.
