Crono RS01

[NitroRacer10]

This thread is for Talley..........People should look into this kit. Its a good car and comes with some benefits as well :D Talley take it away form here......good luck with your car and MBR/SVm Crono

[TalleyRacing]

Thanks Cory. I probably wouldn't have started this one if you hadn't. Car looks good. I'll know more tonight after some laps at the track. If it drives like the others I have driven, it will be faster than my Mugen was. Already have a 14 tooth clutch bell to put on the Raptor. May end up with a 15 if it's as low geared as they say.

[NitroRacer10]

all i know is that with a 50t spur that thing pulls like MAD

[TalleyRacing]

I'm gona find out in about 30 minutes. hehe

[stitch]

how does it compare with the ofna 9.5 pro?

[TalleyRacing]

I've yet to see a 9.5 on the track so I can't really say. The car performed very well. I have a few changes to make to it before the next outing, but it feels like a top level car. Definately felt better than my Mugen.

[ross]

Ive just read a review on this at TWF8. Once build the car looks great and extremely competitive but like shown on the TWF8 review there are alot of faults with the kit that need to be sorted out when building and SVM could sort them out very easily. If I wanted to race 1/8 competively I would definatly look into this kit.

I have a crono,thinks its called the prima.Not sure but the car runs great.Have had a lot of problems with it though mostly up in the front.Probally just because of the way i drive lol,but the arms rip of pretty easily compared to other cars i have had.I changed the alot of the stuff up front to kyosho,and seems to be staying together better.But anyways this is the older crono that the one you guys are talking about,maybe the new one is better.Oh and BTW the instructions that came with car sucked,i mean really really sucked and parts are hard to get a hold of,you have to order everything.Dont know of any hobby shops who stock crono parts arround here anyways.But dont listen to me go get your own,and you will see.

[crazy9.5driver]

its not the offical website but has good info http://www.nitro-models.co.uk/cronors01.htm

[rc10gtisthebest]

I am thinking about getting the crono. Where can i get one? what's the wesite for crono?


-Todd

[stitch]

you have to call svm crono in canada, i can get the # up tommorrow

[TalleyRacing]

Todd, email me @ spt1978@outdrs.net, and I can give you the phone number of where to get the car from.

Granted, you do have to order the parts for the car, but it's not because it isn't a good car. The current car is a great car. I drove mine for the second time today, and got it dialed in. It really is a sweet car.

JUst wondering have you raced it yet? and if so What parts did you break? and did you have a hard time with the instructions?

[TalleyRacing]

Tomorrow will be my first race with the car. But I've practiced most of the week. Haven't broken anything. I can tell more tomorrow night. But I don't really think anything will break. The car is tough. I took an MX jump with it last night 3 times. First and second time it landed perfect. 3rd time I hooked a rut when it landed and tumbled for about 30 feet. Didn't bend or break anything. That is usually a good test for a car. Assembly isn't an issue. The instructions are in Italian, but the diagrams are 3D and in color, so it's pretty simple to follow. And Mike notates any needed changes in every manual.

[NitroRacer10]

manual is nice...and the color CAD pictures are the best I have seen to date!!!!! Talley is right! Buggy is tough! Steve...did you look at that dif case?? Ugly huh!

[TalleyRacing]

Yep. Pretty nasty. I'm taking a break from getting it ready for tomorrow. Going to put 10k in the center, doubt I touch the front, it's got 3k in it. I had to reshim the diff in the front. It wasn't meshing tightly, and started to slip a tad. Shims tight now though.

[NitroRacer10]

cool

[rc10gtisthebest]

Brooklynhobbies.com sells SVM Racing products (CRONO).

I would like to get a Crono but i am getting a Storm rtr instead. And a Novarossi BX21S BK. So it will fly!

[TalleyRacing]

No comment. :D

[ronin8451]

The RS01 definately has the most free running drivetrain of any buggy I have owned yet!! The biggest thing is to LOCTITE all the screws, especially the front knuckles!! The car could use better braces, but I made my own and it made it rock solid. The thing to remember is that the europeans race on very flat tracks with grass and rocks, so as we run more in the US on our "monster air" tracks and give feedback to SVM/Crono , they will make mods to the car to make it suit our styles.:cool:

[TalleyRacing]

Sorry to say guys, but the Air Force is sending me to Korea for a year. I posted my RS01 on Ebay in case anyone is interested. Reserve is at $350, so I'm gona lose my butt on it, but that's the price we pay. On Ebay, it's listed as Crono RS01 lots of extras. I tried to paste the link to it on here, but it won't let me.

[windellmc]

That Novarossi BK engine is supposed to have sick low end. Have fun!

Going ALREADY?? Spitty...:(

[crazy9.5driver]

just wondering if anyone know n e good websites for the crono that are in english.Just brought 1 with an extra parts car but it came with no instruction manual or part listing or n e thing.thx 4 ur help

[ronin8451]

Here ya go:

http://www.radiosistemi.it/rsor.htm

[anothermbdusted]

the crono cars look just like the ofna's which are manufactured by hong nor and another company so i would imagine that the parts would fit wouldnt they might want to check into it at least.

[ronin8451]

The Crono RS01 is nothing like an OFNA ! If anything, it's somewhat like it's half sister the EB4 by Thunder Tiger since they were both designed by Franco Sabatini. The quality is much better than the Thunder Chicken though.

[anothermbdusted]

i was going by this link http://web.utanet.at/klingelf/default.html?target=Karosserien_Buggy.html
the cars lok simular thats all
sorry if wrong but the name was there so take a look at let me know would you if im worng or not i thank you for the comments if im wrong.

[ronin8451]

You are seeing the Expert Team, which is the old design and is similar to the Hyper 7 from ofna.

[anothermbdusted]

ok i went to the thing that says modeal 1/8 and has alot more cars on it also and after looking at it the sp1 does look simular to the TT in a way but funny that alot of cars are made by the same company just sold by another comany under a new name

[TalleyRacing2]

Crono is made in Italy.
Hyper 7 comes from Japan or Taiwan, one of the 2.

[pletang]

Do To lack of info on the internet about Crono buggy's, I have created a web page for Crono info and mods, racers....

[TalleyRacing2]

That works

[team_luigis]

crono are good cars,but they are very different to my mp7.5
they have more stuff that what come whit the kyosho but for solidity or look i prefer my mp7.5

[pletang]

At the Quebec off-road championship back in Sept Crono buggy's were place at
number 1, 3 and 4.

[TalleyRacing2]

Not to offend anyone, but ummm...luigis, you mean to tell me that noone has run you completely off the internet yet?

[team_luigis]

yes i saw that pletang,next year when im gonna race ill show were kyosho stand!

last position

lolllll jk jk:rolleyes: just kidding!
cant wait until summer finish,i have to practise a bit for the new season thats gona come?

were do u race?(the club)

[pletang]

I race in Gatineau club CRCO at Multy Hobby, we go to Belliville track, Granby and St'Elie D'orford also.

And by the way Kyosho buggy's are good quality cars. I am not bias against any brand.

[team_luigis]

oh ok!
this summer ill race at gramby and over GG the associated(crono,rb..)distributor st-elie

but i dont know this guy did not made a club yet,its a open track to practise and have fun..

[mtracer]

I need some help with a Rush stock carb
My sons rush took a few flips at the local track and now it will not
idle for more than 2 seconds......but it runs wide open,

I noticed the carbs needle inside was really short.....
I need a picture of a open carb to see the needle.
Here is a pic of an OS carb that way you can see what Im talking about..

Thanks

[pletang]

I just bought myself a second Crono buggy, I now have the Prima and RS01:D

[team_luigis]

did u bought it from gg:confused: and how much did u pay for it

[pletang]

NO, I bought it from a sponsorded racer from a LHS.

[pletang]

I just sent you a PM.

[team_luigis]

oh okay..
crono are less expensif then kyosho's

[team_luigis]

outch,and its a new one 2?
do think i can get one to.or maybey u can take one for me and ill give u the money?

[pletang]

The car only had four races on it.

[team_luigis]

oh ok!
did u see what they may do this year,take a look
www.ctorg.com(gramby site)
www.geocities.com/clubtt (souths-shore)

[pletang]

I am part of the exec for the CRCO club, I am the starting grid master. For 2003 we are trying to form a try club association to give better racing tracks. This would include Belleville, Hull, Granby and Ste Elie/GG Royal.

[team_luigis]

but i just hope they wont do a crono team canada,because for people that wont have crono wont be fun,alot of people have kyosho ans few have mugens,if yo go there and u always race against them it wont be fun for no one,they will onsly support them self and screaming after everybody else to get crono or u suck cause u have a crono..

[munim]

Hey!I live in quebec too!I live in Brossard.What about you guys?I want to buy a RS01 but I am saving up right now.

[pletang]

Luigis I think you are talking about GG. No we will not do a team crono club. It is more of a re-groupements of track culbs to give special events like a Quebec offroad championship. When we did the championship last SEPTEMBER we had people from Saskatchewan calling us for info.

Munin If you buy a RS01 good for you and even if you buy anything else good for you also has more 1/8 people there is more fun we will have racing.

I am from Gatineau club CRCO.

[team_luigis]

i live in brossard 2(near mail champlain)
and i have a kyosho mp7.5...

[team_luigis]

how old are u?
and how much money u have right now,
cause me and someone were planing on buying kyosho kanai2,
him hes gonna get 2,im gonna get one,and if u decide to buy one to,damn were gonna have a good deal!!
well i will buy one if the guy gives us a good deal.if not,ill save my money to put on my real car that im gonna have this spring before the first races:)

hope theres gonna be alot of members!

[team_luigis]

if i was equip last year i was gonna show up,but i didnt have a second receiver pack,tires,parts etc...
i broked my spur gear and bumber and i didnt have the time to receive them for the race,but anyway im planing on being well equip this summer,having 2 cars for a race its good,but its a very expensif hobby,u have to watch out were u invest!
invest on a good thing
if i can sell my tamiya tl-01 or racer2 i might get better stuff,but selling my 2 cars here at 1/3 of the price i payed its not worth selling them!

[munim]

No, I don't have that much money right now.I am buying a MP-6.I should get it in around 10 days.I have some money to buy an engine maybe.The one I am buying has Teflon shocks and that is about it.I am gonna look for a good engine on the internet to buy for it.What do you recommend?I am 14 years old, what about you?Do you go to Le Tambourin for parts etc?

[team_luigis]

yes,but tambourin have expensif parts,some parts u might get them cheaper at les miniatures chemin chambly longeuil
u can find the phone number and adress in the yellow pages in the section P passe temps..

hmm i have a order that coming in:(
46 spur gear
trinity 1000 nicad pack
mip on-board
front bumper
and thats it:(
men i wonder how my spur gear broke,i cant beleive it.and there expensif to buy new one.

are u getting the blue mp6 that le tambourin have in the glass covert in the back??

[team_luigis]

where and when did u order it?
and how much are u gonna pay for it?

any clues whitch remote,engine,pipe,hi torque servo u gonna get?
well im 16,17 soon,maybe we could play together,well u live near me so maybe if u want this summer i could take u to the club race what do u think?

i dont know,i feel bad that ur getting a new mp6 for about 800$ when u can get it use for about 400$ whit engine and good stuf whit it
or buy a crono rs01 fro 800$ whit good parts on it whit ou tax almost never use.
if u have msn add me in!
hpi_team_costas@hotmail.com
sorry platang for those topic that dosent concern crono..

[pletang]

It does not botter me at all, it is nice to see people organising to meet and race or have fun. The more we are 1/8 in quebec more fun we will hace at race meeting. I will be racing in 2003 at Granby, ST Elie, Belleville and of course CRCO Gatineau.

Ho and by the way I am 30.

[munim]

Yeah man!It will be fun to go racing!Fabien(from tambourin) told me about this place where they race, it's somewhere near Promenades ST. Bruno, I went there once and the track was okay, it could use some work though.

The MP-6 I got was not expensive.I got it for only $240 Canadian money.It comes with Teflon Shocks and servo's and extra wheels/tires.It was a very good deal.I will probably get the Hyper 8 port engine or maybe a used O.S engine.I will get Hitec servo's and hitec radio, the FM one.

[munim]

Oh yeah!I forgot, I'm 15 years old,LOL!My birthday was one month ago and I'm used to saying I'm 14.

[RCfun]

How do you all like your RS01's? I'm going to be switching from my Mugen XR to the RS01. Any advice? I'm sure they're pretty durable. By the way, I am probably getting the Mike Battaile edition.

[pletang]

I know of 3 racers around here with RS01 and they have not broken a single part this year. That is about 12 races.

what is teh Mike Bataille edition, never heard of that. Crono only sells one version of the RS01.

[team_luigis]

haha,i will never go to promenade st-bruno to ride my buggie there,all the big rocks and srap everywere,it kill the buggy,my buggy i race it on tracks and on parc or spaces were it is clean,cause i broke my spur gear and im not rich always buying a 60$ spur gear every time..

from who did u bought the use mp6 from?
if ur getting a os .21gr it wont last long even if its new..

i might be there tomorow,cause i have to go get my parts if they receive the parts..

ps:every buggy come whit aluminium shocks,not because a buggy has aluminium shocks its good,u have to see alot of things before the shocks..

[team_luigis]

alot of people like the rs01,but some people hate it how its build,cause if u put a mp7.5 next to a rs01 trust me u will like more having a mp7 then a rs01,but apparently rs01 they handle verry well.
exept of the look of the car that people dont like,the rs01 is a verry good buggy!
solid,good traction,handdle well etc..

[team_luigis]

sorry about the promenades st-bruno
its a good spot to go racing,i mean bashing,people are playing,not races whit trophies or others,
they wanted to do a club,but i dont know what fabien is gonna decide..the only thing its need the track,its to remove the rocks,and add some good dirt..
i never went there,but i heard comments and i saw pics..
the rocks over there scratches ur buggie and it brake parts.

[RCfun]

Sweet. Mike Battaile takes RS01's and put his setup in the buggy, like the shock oil, diff oil, and probably camber and maybe even different springs. All he does is take the regular RS01's and puts his setup on them. Anyways, he's Crono's team manager.

[team_luigis]

here is the st-elie track
whit a kyosho k2
http://www.nupixel.com/rc/movies/k2se.wmv
enjoy it

[munim]

Nice!What engine does that car have?I don't have too much experience with .21 power.In my last buggy I only had a Force P4 in it.It is pretty reliable but it does not have a lot of power compared the the car in the video.

[team_luigis]

hey whats ur name? i think i say you once at the tambourin,did u have like a buggie whit like yellow rims or a wing,i think u bought at towerhobbies a part.
anyway..

the engine is a Rb world 7.
if u dont have experience in engines like me,i am suggesting u the crono clb engine.its a abc engine,its runs at a verry low temp and it perform verry well.alot of people have them and they like them,so do i..

[team_luigis]

sorry,i forgot,the crono isnt a cheap engine,not because u dont have experience u have to buy cheap things..!
if u have a email i could send u a couple of pics of it.or even let u drive my mp7.5 one day,when there will be no snow or water on the asphalt

[munim]

Yeah!That was me with the buggy with the yellow wheels and wing.It is broken right now but I am going to get parts within a week or maybe ten days.I want to keep it because it was my first buggy.

[team_luigis]

Hey all! I got a used RS01 that somone in dallas bought off of a team driver.

I'm racing down in Houston!

[team_luigis]

thats cool
do you have any pics of it?

[RCfun]

Hey Scomp87, I might have seen you before. Were you at the Supercross at J's Action?

[Scomp87]

no, it's a little far away for me. I'm out west. But there are a ton of Crono's in H-town.

[Scomp87]

here's me car:

[Scomp87]

heres the rs01 body

[team_luigis]

nice;)

[RCfun]

Looks good dude. How do you like it?

[munim]

Oh yeah, I remember that car, it was on ebay right?Sweet ride, have fun with it!

[team_luigis]

so what did u bought munim

[munim]

Oh, I think I am going to stick with the MP-6.The Crono is a bit expensive for me.For the MP-6, I am using my Delta Force with SVM Airfilter.During the winter I am going to but a good pipe on it, and some good servo's.

[Scomp87]

I got mine for $230

hehehehe

w/engine and servos

[RCfun]

But's it's only a Thunder Tiger engine right?

[team_luigis]

do u shop around to see if anyone else selse other stuff?
better price,better buggy,whit parts and other?

[supercharger35]

HI I have the crono rs 01 for sale I have the pics For the part I have the phone# .

[wardog]

hey guys have u ever heard of the crono prima?what do u think of it?i found it on sale in greece for 200$

[RCfun]

I think it's one of the cheaper buggies that Crono makes. Try and stick with a RS01 if you can.

[pletang]

I have the Prima and RS01. I have raced my Prima and finished in position 3 and 4 in the A mains out of 15 racers. The Prima can race against Kyoshos and Mugen.

One thing to remember, it is not the car that makes the racer but the opposite.

[RCfun]

I know the racer make's the car, but I was thinking that this buggy may not be as durable as the RS01, and that part's would be difficult to get for it. Also, was there any modification's or hop-up's that you had to buy after you purchased the buggy, so it would be more durable or adjustible? But, it seem's like a great buggy if you did that good in the A-main.:)

[pletang]

The a-arms hige pin are the achiles heel of this buggy, they are made of mild steal. The other point is theer is no front kick-up on the frame, I had one made, 8 degrees. Has for adjustement everything his ajustable, toe, camber, etc...

Parts are available for this buggy. I live 3 hours from the North American distr.

[STRACING]

Howdy,

I am trying to get back into RC Cars. I used to race 1/10 scale trucks and want to step up to the 1/8 scale buggies. I am really interested in buying a Crono RS 01. Who sales these cars in the USA? How much are they going for?


Thanks, for any help

[fezzy]

http://www.therchouse.com sells the RS01, But in all honesty I would not recommend one for your first 1/8, I've just finished building mine and they are not the easiest of kits to put together, Especially to someone not as advanced in the fields of 1/8 Rally-X, I have had a Hyper7 Pro previously and still found the RS01 a struggle, Hopefully its worth it.

Oh, Just in case anyone still checks this forum... Whats the deal with the shocks?! I can't seem to keep air out, They are foamenting like soap when the caps on and they have had a few actuations of the shock.

[STRACING]

Fezzy,
Nice looking car. How does it handle on the track compared to the other cars?

[fezzy]

The only thing I can really compare it to is my old H7 Pro, The Crono is ALOT faster car, Also it holds a tighter line with more grip without rolling over, The H7 used to understeer and drift out where as the Crono turns in hard and puts plenty of power down, Holds the line without grip rolling.

[Mika]

What's your experience on building one?

Should you fix parts yourself to fit or was the quality perfect all the way ..?

I'm considering to get one but I'm a bit worried of the parts fit although I believe the quality of materials is very good.

[fezzy]

Mika, Unfortunately the build quality on the Crono is rather poor, Alot of things need fileing or dremeling. I actually no longer have my Crono as I just could not keep up with the wear on the thing, If you can afford to run one undoubtedly they are the most capable 1/8 Buggy on the market.
