I also used some ally tube to raise the kit mumper up a bit to align better with the raised body.
The ally is ony 0.5mm thick and has already taken a battering, so may beef this up a bit at some point, but will see how it goes!
CC01 Brick off, ally on!

Just finished my first proper mod to my CC01. Loadsa of people cut the front brick of completely, but I wanted to keep a bit more scale so went for a half way house:

I love the way it looks. Very very good. Now, one thing that always been on my mind is what do you do when you hit it accidentally without having a proper bumper. Most RCers complain about the block, but what about the bumper? I'm asking maybe because I've never had one of these (although I always wanted the mid 90's Wrangler Jeep 
).
).

A good question! The not so good answer is dont hit anything 
. TBH, from what I can work out it is one of the unfortunate compromises with trying to create a scale vehicle, however the advantage at least with trial/crawler vehicles, they dont tend to be hammered around to much and tend to run high turn motors. If the Standard bumper was left on a CC01, it would look a bit daft!
