024 - CR01 Future Plans


As noticed some days ago (and probably as  the entire world knew) the stock CR01 shafts are butter made: infact during a non-hardcore four wheeling ride the front shaft snapped out and it results bent. So I've used one of the two extra sets of shaft that fortunately Tamiya puts into the kit. I will swap it soon with something better and tough.
I noticed also that my Robitronic 55t motor has a plenty of torque but it's too slow and it's necessary to replace it.

023 - CR01 On Holiday


Some pics of my CR01 on holiday on the alps, not a lot to say due to bad internet connection. I'm looking for a good crawling spot and for the moment I enjoy my CR around home. I noticed a problem about the stock plastic shaft.

022 - An Alternative Way To Repair Lexan Body Cracks



Because of my poor driving skills my FF03 has collected a few of cracks on its Civic Body, at this time I don't want to buy a new body so I decided to repair it.
In surfing the web looking for any suggestions about it I found a method that involves using of Shoe Goo and drywall tape... but I didn't find anything.
Looking for an inspiration about an alternative way i visit the local model shop and there i found a fiberglass tape by great Planes and I bought it, in a DIY shop i bought a universal glue by Bostik so I repaired the Civic body with the results shown below.
