094 - CR01 Rebuilding & Modifying (part 2)

Today, between the building of a new radio tray and the awaiting for the new chassis, I've tested the positioning of the Beetle body :-).

093 - Alpine Mumbling

We are in the alps for a couple of days of relax and, this evening, with a good beer in front and with the smell of the fire of wood in the air I spent some time to think about the design of my CR's new chassis.

092 - Swapping Tamiya Wheels To Losis

Last week I ordered and received from Casa del Modellismo, in Piemonte, a set of Losi beadlocks for my CR1.
Before use them I removed all the chrome and painted the rims in matt black.
I've chosen this wheels because the width is around 26mm, a centimeter narrower than Tamiya ones.

To screw the beadlock screws I used this Team Trinity tool I bought more than 20 years ago and never used before.

Use the new Losi wheels allowed me to swap from the CR knuckles to a pair of DF03 ones and to gain a small amount of steering more.

091 - CR01 Rebuilding & Modifying (part 1)

I've received from Seidel in Germany (great shop) some items ordered some days ago to rebuild and modify my CR01.
So, today, I've cleaned the whole transmission, made some repairs, switched the motor from the Robitronic 55T to a new Tamiya 35T and installed the Tamiya steel axles.
