Thinking of getting CR2

[carlin]

Hi Guys,

Right I'm looking at buying one of these kits.

May have my hand on CR kit fingers crossed.

But my questions is ob you guys had plenty of time to try things out & make any further or new mods to the car.

Just got few questions.

What extra items do i need? (i know electircs lol)
What further mods?
I see people running idle gear,what does this solve? What parts do I require
Whats the best for placing weight on the car where best place to get it?
When are they bringingout bodyshell for the car
Which is the best to run RHD or the LHD

Sorry on many questions just like to find out what is needed & get the stuff ready.

What do they feel like to drive compared to B4,i could never get on with mine.Always felt nervous to drive all the times!

CR2 is easier to drive and very predictable in its handling.

Most of the answers to your questions can be found in other topics here, have a look at them.

Not a single mod is 'needed', but you do need the XXX-NT bulkhead to attach the front end to the chassis.
Most people are using the idler gear mod, explained in the CR2 topic as well.

About the weight: in the UK they seem to use 15-30gr in the nose and a lead plate under the servo, I like a maximum amount of 10gr in the nose and around 110gr under the battery pack. I'm using a 20gr lead plate under the motor as well.

So what do you need besides the CR and CR2 kit:
- LOSA4160 Losi XXX-NT front bulkhead
- LOSA3079 Losi idler gear set

You just put a longer screw in the upper motor mounting hole, on which you put the idler. For the bearings used in it: take some old ones from a brushed/brushless motor, they fit fine. The idler mod will make it a 4-gear transmission, increasing rear end grip.

i used the car all of last season with no mods at all except for the added lead weights.
I have however started running the idler gear and will be getting the rudebits weights just to sexy the car up even more!! I would suggest having the front wing kit and extra droop front towers to aid tuning.
Compared to the b4 i found the car very easy and forgiving to drive, as my results proved. very happy with the cr2

Hi Guys,

Been reading few of the threads with interesting reads.

I have noticed the prices on the kits have gone up.
So have they included some extra parts like the idle gear etc.

If not when are they thinking of updating the kit with these parts?

I wont be looking to buy one till end of the month anyway.

What is the best kit to use the LHD or the RHD ?

Prices have gone up mainly due to the VAT increase £5 per kit.

There will hopefully be various new items available shortly including the motor plate & idler kit, aluminium chassis and something else.
