Tamiya CC-01 Owners Club: Photos and Discussions

75mm is ideal. I used the Ansmann shocks as they are quite soft and ideal for a CC-01.

Nice John,

 

is that winch mounted on to the chassis or the body of the unimog?

 

I think Ansmann got bust I'll see if theres alternative maker for the shocks

Check out abisma, I think they took over ansmann

You can still find the Ansmann shocks on eBay

Winch is mounted on the bumper which is bolted to the chassis.

These are the Ansmann although they don't call them that.

The Absima shocks are much stiffer than the Ansmann. The Fastrax shocks look just like the Ansmann and wouldn't be surprised if they are the same.

ive got hold of a gpm 4 link kit for when my cc01 arrives, and was just looking for the best cheapest way of mounting the shocks with the 4 link kit as i didnt realize they mounted to the plastic links!! any suggestions??

[johninderby]

The GPM 4 link kit comes with the axle mounts that you attach both the links and the shocks to.

These are the parts although you may find them cheaper on eBay.

Just realised I've seen the 4 link kits sold with the mounts as a set but GPM lists the links and mounts separately.

Got my landfreeder built over the last couple nights just waiting for my 35t motor and rear shock mounts to come then I can go play!!!!

 

[johninderby]

Looking good. Nice clean job.

John

[Andy20xe]

Thanks mate. Gonna look for some lights for the roll bar at some point although I do want a different body eventually, something like a Cherokee or discovery

[johninderby]

I used A Fastrax 4 light set on my Feedlander (Ford Ranger) build. Just removed the hoop from the top of the Fastrax set and they bolted straight onto the roll bar.

Few of my wrangler I've had this for time now but only ever run it twice due to working , just never get any man time lol snorkel was made gluing styrene together & high lift jack is styrene , never liked the arches so dremel soon sorted them out. I done most of this last night / early hrs as you do, Still more to do like touch arch paint up & weather it more & poss cut the rest of the tinted windows out the clear stuff was a donor from the outer packaging of a choc cake hehe . Wheel weights added donor roofing lead cut in 1cm wide strips sorted them out free from a roofing job I did before Xmas . Still unsure about the rad front bumper ? Happy Xmas folks .

Turning up a bit late to the party, but I'm here now.

I've got a "never run" CC-01 Pajero from 1993. Still fitted out with original Tamiya gear. I will get some photos uploaded asap.

Having no intention of upgrading any of it, or in fact using it, it will remain a shelf queen.

[Andy20xe]

Anybody tried these shocks on a cc01 ??

http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__34583__Trackstar_Tamiya_CC01_Aluminum_Oil_Filled_Adjustable_Shock_Absorber_Set_4PC_.html

look good for the money but will they be ok?

[Gaz!]

Seen them a few times and always been out of stock, got to be worth a shot for seven quid though....

[johninderby]

Same as the Absima I belive. Decent quality but a bit on the stiff side. I had the Absimas on the rear of the Unimog before doing the mod, but just too stiff for any real articulation even with thin oil and soft springs. Extra holes in the discs might help or O rings that aren't such a tight fit on the shaft.

However they work brilliantly on my Tamiya GF-01 Toyota PU.

well I ordered them so will see how they perform when they arrive. I'll post some pics of them fitted !

[TurboFurball]

Hi peeps, is there another upgrade steering setup besides the one from Asiatees?

I bought both the linkage and alloy kit, and both are just rubbish - a couple of parts were out of tolerance, and one of the ball joints just snapped off on it's first use; I'm going to put the original stuff back on (because despite the slop at least it works) but would like to do something with it in the future when I'm less angry.

 

Not sure how I'm going to get the end of the ball joint out. Sigh.

[Andy20xe]

well got the hobbyking shocks fitted and tested them took a bit of oil out and they seem pretty good and nice and smooth so worth the 7 quid anyday!

[Trans4Mation]

Any pics andy thinking of trying these on my wrangler .

[Andy20xe]

will get one when im in garage later for you

[Geeze]

What length are those trackstar ones?
