Is that a Tamiya CC-02 chassis, like the Unimog with a different body shell?

That I couldn't tell you!  Someone like @Gaz! might know.

Here's another set, still a huge chunk of files to go through... Some of these are from the flawed shots I still like.

 

 

Push harder, it'll get through

Looking at the pic, id say a Tamiya cr-01 the bit i can see is the springs without the shocks as they are fitted differently on that rig.

I initially thought that it was a CR-01 as well, due to the barrel springs and a few other bits, but due to the colour of the ladder frame and even more bits it makes me think more of a CC-01 or CC-02, that's been modified a bit, a lot of parts are interchangeable between the CC02 and the CR-01 chassis, including the official Tamiya hop-ups.

Didn’t know that, not seen much of the cc02 though. Definitely good to know

Interesting to read that you've not seen much of the CC-02, as, I think the YouYube channel is called RCKicks, on their video about the CR-01, they obviously compared it to the CC-02, and said that the CC-02 was not just Tamiya's best rock crawler, but one of the best and most popular 1/10th scale rock crawlers.

 

I'm not really into rock crawling, I turned my CR-01 into a stadium truck, and so have all my mates who have them.  I opened the thread out of interest to see if anybody was using a  CR-01 or CC-02, what accessories people had - rock crawlers seem t have the most accessories, for inspiration, to see if anybody had FPV mounted and if so how.

Now first off, i dont mean any offence but……

 

i try my best to not listen to these online “reviews” although i did buy 2x Element rc Gatekeeper kits which turned out to be not all best i was led to believe and that left me over £300 in the hole and to be fair ive been seduced before with reviews and lost out, im not saying they are all wrong at all but what might be perfect for the reviewer, doesnt make it perfect for me. Not to forget those who say great things about a particular brand to get free stuff, if anyone from Lamborghini is watching, ill big up your brand  Or the other end of the spectrum with those that wont admit that they wasted their money so will defend them to the end.

 

so in a perfect world, i might watch the odd review, try to have whatever it is in hand or be able to physically see it and of course use my own experience before making a purchase, but hey its never that perfect.

 

again, i mean NO offence to anyone here, this is stuff in general and these are my own opinions.

 

sorry about the thread hi-jack and my ramblings lol
