Hi and welcome!

 

Is the body a Kamtec,or flinched from a New Bright?

Looks the business👍

Thanks kirk 

it's a new bright shell and what got me started scaling. Looking for another but not many around

That was the old crawler with the NI-cad battery from six or seven years back? Remember them well😉

It looks at its best being driven, built to do just that. 

Its not happy sitting on a shelf! 

always cleaned after a good run though!  It's a keeper this one

I like all the roof rack gubbins. Little scale details like that look very appealing. One of the things that makes me want a scaler myself at some point.

Looks great!

Thanks for the replies, comments and likes!

a lot of people I know don't like the CC01, but I love it and have built quite a few.

i have 3 and just bought another so now build no 6! 

I don't plan on doing a build as there are thread after thread but I will be replacing the dreadful plastic rear links with a cheap DIY fix and a few mods

will share pics for those interested?

2 previous builds...

i wish I never sold this....

Definitely yes!

+1 to the above. I am considering buying a CC-01 myself at some point, but I don't have the budget for Junfac links, so I'd like to see your DIY solution.

Spotted this - I had to share it with the CC-01 fans:

Same model as I had and sold....with HUGE regret!

Very rare to find a good one and one at the right price. They are now very sought after...

 

[Illogical 141]

How about this one?
