If the body is ABS, then consider it sold. The detail will be perfect just like all their bodies ....

It will probably be lexan hope I'm wrong but even if it is if is hopefully it will be nicely detailed as well I'm still sold  I'm looking at getting a cc01 soon so might just hold off and see what this looks like 

[TWINSET]

The CC-01 is one of the only Tamiya chassis (apart from the CR01, that I can think of) to use either Lexan or ABS shells - Hopefully they'll use ABS or, at worst, a Lexan shell with ABS detail (grille etc)

Just need the body.  CC01 bodies fit the MST CMX/CFX

This would be my preferred route too.

 

the cc01 chassis’ are ok, once you pumped some more cash into it, then takes you to the point of getting something decent to start with.

had a few over the years and the only one I had that honestly worked, came in at 500 inc. kit and still couldn’t go the same places a stock scx10 would go.

 

looking forward to seeing pics, prices etc. The wife not so much

Trouble is, Tamiya bodies are usually expensive

The Pajero hard shell (no windscreen or trim) is around £40 online

Killerbody's 90 is  £57 from MS

 

 

 

 

[mond]

I don't think that would fit the CC01/CMX length chassis though.

[TWINSET]

I guess it depends how 1/10 scale the KB shell is - If it's true scale, the wheelbase should be 229mm and shortest CC01/CMX WB is 242mm

 

Team Raffee do a CFX-friendly D90;

Grille looks like an insert, shell's polycarb

 

[PraetoR]

Lose the CC-01 bumper (as everyone does) and that'll look very handsome!... except for the wheels.

[Gaz!]

But the landy doesn’t have ifs 

 

have to say say a nice bowler replica would look superb 

 

guessing around the £180 mark though.

[Coops]

Does it compare to other Tamiya models?

Modelsport have it listed already at £199 (RRP £225)

IS that good?

[Gaz!]

Not cheap by any means at 199, might just wait for a bodyset....

[TWINSET]

Not cheap? extortionate more like

 

The VW Amarok's only £159 and the (hard bodied) MU is £169

 

[RC4WD fan]

Now I like the look of that  but not the price  that's 1 of the 2 things I don't like the other is as @big gaz said they don't have IFS think I would wait for the bodyset and get one hopefully I'll have an cc-01 chassis by then

Yeah, when I think about it more, your right......

considering it has bushes and not bearings, crap steering, limited gearing, flexible links, silly brick on front of chassis, can’t be bothered thinking about anymore...

 

i want a mu but ill I’ll get a bodyset instead, one of these too and plonk them on a 1/18 crawler, width should be about right and just a case of knocking up some chassis rails...

Remember the CFX and CFX-W are two different trucks. The standard CFX is a CMX with a front mounted motor. The W is SCX10 sized with portals.

Where did the -W get mentioned?

Edited June 8, 2018 by TWINSET

[mond]

That D90 is for the W? I could be wrong!

[TWINSET]

Ah - The one in the video link is for the non W - Not sure about the one on Modelsport as there's no wheelbase dimensions etc.

[twisty]

The body mounts ruin it for me,why didn`t they use the reversed type like on the GT 01 chassis.
