The Chariot skid is a scale accessory crafted for the TAMIYA CR-01 platform, providing a protective lower surface to reduce wear during trail and scale crawling. The CR01-25/SI is intended as a hop-up/spare part for underside contact points.
Fit and compatibility: designed around the CR-01 layout, the skid matches standard CR-01 fastener locations. Measure existing skid mount spacing on your CR-01 to ensure correct alignment prior to fitting.
Installation notes: use common workshop tools and confirm hole alignment before tightening. Apply thread-lock on metal fasteners as needed and tighten progressively to prevent misalignment. Re-check suspension and steering clearances after installation.
Practical tuning: as a sacrificial surface, the skid protects the chassis belly from abrasion and low-speed impacts. Remember that any added protection may lower clearance, so assess trade-offs for approach and departure on the CR-01 in your intended terrain.
