CR001 Cross-Country oil
 
$4.95 retail each
 
This is the synthetic oil that I used to lubricate the JK car when I did the durability/longevity test for JK Products on their Hawk 25 rental motor.
 
What was supposed to be a "quick" test, to confirm the motor would last 5-6 hours, turned into a 232+ hour, maxi-marathon, over 2+ months, rubberbanding a controller, and the car running full speed around Orange lane on my King track.
 
In the final weeks, I was running the car 8 hrs.+, at a time, running it overnight at times, with no stops for lubrication.
 
Finally after 232 1/2 hours of running, one of the brushes, along with the leaf spring it was attached to, wore through, and the car stopped.
 
Using the lap times to conservatively calculate the amount of total laps the car run, it was determined the car ran well over 3400 REAL miles, or literally from coast to coast, Pacific to Atlantic ocean.
 
The axle and motor bushings survived fine, lubricated exclusively by C/R Cross Country oil.
 
To keep the price down, I was able to find an affordable bottle, that also had the nice feature of an attached cap.
 
So you have the triple threat of slot racing oils.
 
The best oil, at the best price, with the best container.

These are the perfect length to sleeve Parma (1/8" bore) crown gears, for 3/32" axle.

 

If you use these for that purpose, you have to cut your own set screw passage.

 

Recently, I use these quite a bit for motor installation, as an easy to solder to, brace/gusset.

Since I've started selling to Eagle and ERI distributors, this has been a very popular item.
 
For those who missed the saga of the JK rental car that wouldn't die, back in 2012, I came across the Hawk 25 that ran the actual 3,411+ miles.

 

I've opened up this thread for questions about my product line.

 

Note, as I add new items, I may delete your question , and my follow-up, once adequately answered.

Certainly, some signs of wear, but considering it ran multiple 5-8 hour stretches, without additional relubrication, and the car literally chugged 232.5+ hours, and literally traveled the distance from the Atlantic to Pacific oceans, pretty darn impressive.

The cause of the eventual permanent demise of the car. Apparently, a DC motor will not run with a mono-brush. LOL

I've had a request to come out these in a bulk pack, so here it is.

 

CR016-5 3/32" bulk econo axle ball bearings
 
$24.75 retail (5 pair per pack)
 
Nice quality axle ball bearings
 
Properly cleaned and checked for correct fit on axle.
 

[MSwiss]

This has turned out to be a surprising good item for me.

The superior retention of a nylon nut, but lathe trimmed, to the height of conventional low profile nuts.

I finally got enough trimmed and dyed, to get them out to distributors.

$5.88 retail for a bag of 6.

Of minor note, on the black nuts, the trimmed side is left white.

Alao, on the dyed ones, the dye doesn't take quite as dark/deeply, on that trimmed side.

CR021A - Asst.
CR021BK - Black
CR021BL - Blue
CR021O - Orange
CR021P - Purple
CR021R - Red
CR021W - White

CR022 Plated Group F chassis
 
A plated version of the extremely popular and successful C/R Group F chassis.

 

Say goodbye to rust.
 
Will also accept most C Can motors.
 
$29.95 retail each kit (as shown)
 

[MSwiss]

CR023 Premium inline drag chassis.
 
The parts being "dropped" (separated), along with being plated from, IMO,  the premier plater for slot racing parts, provides a kit, truly, ready and easy, to assemble.

 

Say goodbye to rust.
 
Accepts all popular bolt in motors.
 

$29.95 retail each kit (as shown in top pic)

 

 

I quickly soldered this together, with just 3/16" tubing inside the bearing holes, and holding the parts with my fingers, and achieved perfect bearing alignment. ( BB's not included )

 

A mockup of a somewhat finished chassis, with C/R plated .062" piano wire, a Proslot D can, and a pc. of C/R .062 " wire soldered across the top, for a rock-solid motor box.

 

Note; while the combo front wheel body pin tube mounts can be used as one piece, soldered on the outside of the rail, in this pic they are cut in two, and mounted on the inside of the nose piece, for an ultra-clean look, and positioning independent of each other.

 

All solder joints in these pics are achieved without any tumbling or wire brushing.( just wiped down with a damp sponge )

 

( motor, wire, and BB's not include)
 

The plating and the tall, multiple front wheel mounts, allow for quick experimenting, with additional chassis bracing, with a single, easy bend.
