Davy Crockett Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I started the scale/trail side of the hobby 7 years ago after reading a forum post and met some blokes in the woods at Black Rocks Think some are still lurking around???...... Anyway, the CC01 was my 1st scale rig and although I have more capable and advanced kits, I have kept it and use it every now and then. Its sat on the shelf for last 12 months and suffered a few cuts and bruises on its last run so I set about a refurb.... I have made new body mounts, rear suspension links, new prop shaft (FTX Outlaw) and refurbed the electrics. Also fitted new wheels and tyres (not sure these will stay) Shell has suffered rock scrapes and the like, some damage and split in a couple of places, all bits stripped off ready for sanding and repairs Mounted up... I decided on Mazda Eternal Red for the colour After spraying wasn't happy and stripped and primed the shell again, I have another colour and will post when finished Thanks for looking Edited April 28, 2020 by Davy Crockett 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Crockett Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Shell painted in the revised colour and its...…. LOUD!! Ford ST Electric Orange Not sure that the pics show it too well but I have cut the roofrack to have the lightbar sit more flush. Also, still not convinced with the wheels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Minor update.... Minor works to front end and few decals added LEDs in and wired up, 2 micro toggle switches to switch lights and lightbar separately - wired so lightbar works only when LEDs are on. Well, I think that's almost done. just a few scale items to print and add to roof rack. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 I like most am in lockdown, currently furloughed and have time to do things I should've been doing... Bugger that, I'm in the man-cave! Like I said, CC01 got me started in this game and the Disco is still with me and hardly had a run since last pics Devil makes work for idle hands so keeping busy... Intended to redo Disco a graphite grey but came out 💩, only paint I have left is satin black Never had or wanted the Disco to be black but commited paint to the shell. Completely rewired supply, LEDs and moved switches, 3d printed bits, replaced wheels and tyres and peek of progress More to come........ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I like it in black! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy20xe Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 That looks good to me in black 👍. My first trail truck was a CC01 landfreeder, loved it also had s pajero fully upgraded which I should have kept! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Work has prevented my furlough activities (thankfully!) but have just about finished the Discovery Then I thought "Hey.... why not make it a van/commercial Disco??" Ok, why didn't I leave it alone! Made a right pigs-ear of the window filling but got it about best i'll manage soon realised that filling, smoothing and sanding is something that just because I've seen it doesn't mean I can do it.... I watch Holby City but doesn't make me a doctor!! Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucked the 'toy' chassis and used the shell on a CC01 chassis. Its been painted yellow since these pics but wasn't that happy with it and got another shell few months ago. Let me know if its of any interest if you can't source one and I'll root it out loft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
