447 - FlashBack Friday: My Tamiya Cr-01, Part #4

 


In 2015 my CR-01 "Tonkatsu" benefit of a reload: the chassis rails have been trimmed, a new radio tray have been crafted and a different way to fix it on the tranny case have been minded. Now in its definitive form it Waits to be sold because of, during these Years, I've realized that going slow isn't my cup of tea.

446 - Tamiya BBX: The Brushless Conversion Is Complete!

With the few time to dedicate to the hobby the brushless conversion of my BBX has taken some weeks and now it is complete.

Setting the thicker cables and the sensor cable have been a nightmare to me. Maybe for some it would souds hilarious but this is my first experience with this technology and I want to understand if more flexible sensor cables are available.

As said, I'm pretty worried after doing a short shake down due to the lack of power of my NiMH packs so, making the best of a bad situation, I've ordered a pair of LiPo packs that, this time, I will take care with the right charging routine.

445 - FlashBack Friday: My Tamiya Cr-01, Part #3


In 2014 my CR-01 started to have a new shape. As usual I surfed the Web looking for some infos about modifieds CR-01 without much fortune. So I've planned a radical modify inspired by some competition crawlers. The heart of that project (named Tonkatsu) was (and is) a brand new chassis designed by me keeping the stock holes positioning and giving to the rails a new shape: a true foxiness.
