TiM! Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hey guys! Been looking at these for quite some time now and recently noticed that numbers were getting a little thin on eBay and such, so decided to bite the bullet and order one before it was too late! Will be doing a bit of a build thread here, but time is quite limited at the moment with work and mates coming back from uni for Easter. Here's the box to kick things off: Will be building it up to run, but only occasionally indoors, don't want it getting messy Hopefully have some progress by the weekend!

TurboFurball Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Cool, will you be keeping it mostly stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Will be left bone stock yes. Got a tekin FXR for the ESC and will be using my DX3s radio. Need see what servos I have, think the TT01 has a good Tamiya one in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 These do look lovely. What extras do they come with besides the prepainted body and led kit? Anything else juicy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 You get some "metal plated" parts such as the grille, bumper and wheels, and the tyres from the Tundra which look much better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Lied a bit about it being "bone" stock. I am fitting an RCbearings kit, can't really be putting those plastic bushings in. Here's tonights little bit of progress: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that it has more detailed body parts, always a good thing on a scaler didn't notice the tyres til you mentioned it but theyre a good thing too, the normal ones seem to get binned as quick as the bushes!

Gaz! Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Like that it has more detailed body parts, always a good thing on a scaler didn't notice the tyres til you mentioned it but theyre a good thing too, the normal ones seem to get binned as quick as the bushes! The stock tyres are pretty much the same as the other cc01 tyres.... These do look far better though and will suffice for it's intended usage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Quite a bit of progress tonight Shocks up next, might leave those until Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboFurball Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Wow, looking at this I realise just how much of my Unimog isn't standard! Looking good there, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah, they are very plastic fantastic Doesn't feel low quality as such, but I could see how you could break or wear parts quickly if you were using it properly. Thankfully I don't think it'll ever cause me issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeze Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Looking at this stock build, its amazing just how capable some of these have been made. There's a severely nodded one around here that sometimes keeps up with SCX10s! Think this one is going to look good with those factory extras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Chassis pretty much done: Little MS order being made tonight for a battery pack, then just need stickers on the shell, which could take a while! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fin Stickers aren't perfect, but are about a million times better than when I did my FJ CR01. Now to get it dirty, or keep it clean. Hmmmm.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johninderby Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Nice tidy job. Looks really good. Maybe roof rack to hide rear mounting posts and shorten the front posts. John Edited May 3, 2015 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Nice job! Echo others comment re body posts and replace rear plastic links with metal ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
