Tamiya CC-01 Owners Club: Photos and Discussions

[oodboo]

Thanks for that. I thought that might be what you were on about with the last couple of posts. Was thinking about getting these for the mog but I still haven't fitted the steering kit I bought months ago so probably wont be anytime soon.

 

The mog will always be a work in progress but I'll get some more photos up after the next update 

[johninderby]

I bought the stroke extenders a while ago for another CC-01 but finally got round to using them on the Mog. I may play around with the suspension a bit to see if I can get more droop out of the set-up.

Decal time for the Mog today and then fit electrics.

I prefer "work in progress" rather than unfinished.

The drop links are sooo expensive though, even

[johninderby]

They cost me about 8 quid originally from someone on eBay and as they were just sitting in my spare parts box they cost me nothing to use on the Mog. If I was to make a set I'd use some flat ali bar bent to shape (to get the right offset) with some bearings.

 

Using longer shocks will also give more articulation.

are they rc4wd bumpers if so do you think they would work on a pajero and the mog looks stunning  

[johninderby]

Yes they're RC4WD bumpers. The Pajero would probably have to lose it's bumpers completely as the body fits lower than the Unimog. You'll get a better idea when I've started the thread giving details of how the bumpers can be fitted among other things.

The door decals are home made using some new clear vinyl inkjet decal sheet. Used a free online logo designer for the logo. The vinyl sheet is thinner than the Tamiya decals so it!s not so obvious it's a decal.

quick question are they 90mm tires and how secure is the winch on the bumper like that and what did you use to do the black lines for the panel gaps oh and the pajero looks very nice

james

[2pricey4u]

quick answer yes they are 90mm tires and fit very well little bit of scrubbing on the rear at full flex , the bumper and winch can hold the full weight of the truck of the ground but I wouldn't do it to much , a fine sharpie , and thanks     

[53HRA]

Took delivery of this last week  - I can never stay away from anything scale looking

 

[GilbertRC1]

Can't wait to see how it turns out 53HRA, i know you love really cool looking scale stuff so I thought I should tell you that there are some tracks available (as in tank tracks) designed to fit the cc01 with the jeep wrangler body.

Ben.

[johninderby]

Nice

 

What are you going to do about the rear "bump outs" on the body?

You should be able to get some ideas from the stuff RC4WD do.
