Remote switch added.

Light ON I will soon have them turned on and off through the radio control.

Battery attachment system, elevated support for electronics And dashboard for the wrangler

Not the easy way, buy if you have time to spend in mumbling and modifing...

Some time has passed. A few stickers, a few corrections, and tests with various sizes of tyres The final choice fell on these GMade steel rims with 100mm tires

It only took 3 mm more at the lower links .

CC-01 refurbished, with 3:1 gearbox. To be completed with esc and receiver.

A few steps ahead Rear bumper, from CR01 Wrangler kit It forced me to revise the attachment system and make a new rear support Now the posts are attached to the body I closed the battery door and created a holder for the electronics But I need a few more millimeters to lengthen the wheelbase

It can't rain forever ... I started reassembling the body accessories. There will be no more spare tire

I don' t know, sorry. I don't remember on which model I mounted them .

Yes. BB, rear spring. Lenght 60 mm, wire 0.9 mm, 9.5 turns DT03 rear spring. Lenght 63 mm, wire 1.1 mm, 13.5 turns

Mean because of the pink skull Low because I' Ve lowered the body

Primer and first coat, thanks to an evening of clear weather Tomorrow, however, rain is expected.

Time for servo. Swap from the Tamiya one supplied to an old Hitec (really, it's been running around my house for more than 20 years and I'm curious to see if it still works). A little DIY to support the body at the rear ( and also stiffen the chassis) Next step... I'll think about it.

Finally, installed with new motor plate and 20t pinion As a plus, steering hopup

Some fake&cheap parts for my Blitzer Beetle and CC-01.

Not beautiful, the protection made of lexan and glue. Hopefully some black paint will hide it

Motor and transmission: classic brushed 35T and 16 pinion gear? Or let's change, 3:1 gearbox and 20t pinion? However, it is necessary to make room because of the new footprint Now I have to find a way to protect the area from dirt.

The body comes from afar, from my first CC01 purchased in 2011. A Jeep Wrangler YJ used first on the CC, then on the CR and finally abandoned in a box. A few stock images It needs to be fixed, I want to get rid of the roof rack, I will have to close some holes and renew the paint job. Maybe I've gone too far...

Front assembly. Based on previous experience, I modified the plastic parts to be able to increase the travel. Then I redid the same on the aluminum parts. On the left, as supplied. On the right, after mod. And the comparison with the plastic parts, after modification . Time to check the shock adsorbers At the beginning I also prepared a pair of longer CVA. I' m not a brick fan... Front skid made by alu thin sheet Screwed and glued ( to be clean) There is no way to use longer dampers without other mod, and swap to the original configuration. And funny idea to fix the body One shot and I fix the body, lock the plate and install a bumper. But...the body???

I forgot. I also prepared the Blitzer Beetle in the meantime...

I started with the differentials, locking them A new motor Seal the cracks in the frame The new Gear Link and shaft

And some pictures taken by me It would appear to be an XB series model Actually both broken spindles and also a c- hub. Then so many other things, there was a G2 mount missing on the transmission and the gears were ruined, plastic bushings were in need of replacement, steering system, metal links to be fixed, body to be replaced, tired motor, plastic hex... I made an initial order of essential parts, A,B,G parts and, in addiction, a little alu kit from chinese store... Then the waiting, vacations, work, Christmas... in short, I lost so much time.

So, for the second time in my R/C life, I let myself be fooled by a CC01. This time used ( and unfortunately too late I discovered abused). This story began a year ago. So the postman delivers a package to me. Inside is a really shabby specimen of CC01, in very poor condition and very dirty. My disappointment was so great that I didn't even feel like taking pictures and abandoned it for weeks. I first separated the various parts for rough cleaning and evaluation of what was needed for restoration, and then reassembled the model following my own whim and previous experience. This is one of the seller's photos. He was only reporting the front spindle breakage. And some other, from the seller...
