Toyota Land cruiser CR-01 build

Recommended Posts

I've read that some people will remove the canti-lever set up in favor of a more simple shock set up. Have you heard of and/or considered that?

Nope, i haven't heard about it.. I will keep the car like intended to be and try it out, if i find this annoying i might consider doing something about it...

So now I must try to understand how to get this 3 channel receiver to work.



Not many step's left before the chassis is done, and I can start on the body. I'm so looking forward to taking this one for a ride, I can't wait.

Looks great so far! What are your plans for the shell?

It will be pretty much stock, but will add some protection bars and a roof rack. At least for now, maybe I will try to make it more scale later.

Preparations for step 30


Added some weights to the wheels, 55 grams not to much but it'll have to do for now.

Ok so I just had to do it to see how it looked, now i must consider getting myself another blackfoot body, for I really like what I see. Whey didn't Tamiya do this instead of the Rock Socker?

Wow. The blackfoot body looks absolutely perfect on there. I wouldn't even bother with the land cruiser body after fitting that. Top notch work.

:-) i will be using this car as a runner, so i can't afford to break og scratch the blackfoot body.

Yes you can, hardbodies make for much nicer scratches and sound better when rolling downhill. :-p (you should see my KBF)

So I have finally finished the car, doing the body sure took it's time. I didn't go completely box art since I like this one better



Step 33



I decided to use smoke paint on the widows behind the doors. I didn't do a 100% good masking jobb, but it turned out ok after all decals had been applied

Step 34


I tried to fill in the body panels with black, but can't say it turned out perfect, but it's ok

That's it for now, I will try to build some interior for the car, but that will be later, now I just want to take the car for a run.

Looking good. The decals sorted the paint well and it came out great. The shell does look awesome.

So I was so looking forward to taking the car out for a spin, but i noticed a very embarrassing build error I have done.

Find one error

20140706_221447_zps220tdp0d.jpg

20140706_230014_zpse8j3r2j5.jpg

I guess you have spotted it now. Ok so i mounted both the axels the same way, making the tires to go in different directions. This is so embarrassing :wacko:

So i fixed the error but then the next challenge was the 4ws, I thought I had a transmitter that would handle the 4ws, but after checking 3 transmitters still no luck. So I will have to get myself another another transmitter, but not sure which one yet.

Although the problems with the 4ws I charged the battery and took the car finally on a run.

I didn't like the way the mirrors looked out of the box, so I bent it a bit to get a better look on them.

Also I changed the cheep China electronic speed controller with a Tamiya 105.

Great build! I would highly recommend getting rid of the Tamiya esc in favor of a Tekin FXR or something with a good drag brake. It's no fun having a rig roll off an incline when it should be planted. ;)
