The CR01 is a nice platform and I am considering getting one. Or I may go like JRH suggested and get the new losi tranny with the venom lockable axles and a ladder chassis and build my own concoction.
I look forward to seeing the Navigator crawler. It will be nice to see something different for a change. Too many yota's, jeeps, and clod bodies. |
The junfac chassis is nice, but the cr01 axles are too wide to work under most 10th scale bodies without looking funny. Tlt axles are much narrower and should work. I will make my own cahssis, going to use 1/2" square tube, heat and bend it and then cut it in half longways to make a pair of c channel rails. Should look more like a real truck frame and have the added bonus of being free. I plan to use the cr01 skidplate for mounting the tranny and model my side plates of the cr01 units to mimic the link mount locations. Should be a fun project.
The Navigator has a full interior, so I plan to try and hide all of the electronics under the hood and keep the tranny as low profie as possible. Going with a pair of 45t lathe motors, and most likely run 2s lipo. Something like 6-8mph will be fine as it will be in the water quite a bit. Not sure of the wheelbase or tire size yet, as I need the body to do some measurements.
