  1. A few months ago I bought a Losi Baja Rey from an older fellow that was downsizing his collection of cars, new and built. After buying a handful of his kits, he liked me and that I am an older guy myself(48) and didn't have to worry about it being bashed, asked me if I wanted to buy a Baja Rey he has. Told me it is super rare, mint 400 version that came with a coin. Told me it is one of only 250 made. I smiled a bit(not believing) it and passed on it. I went home and did a little research and found that they made a white version of the Baja Rey from losi that was only sold by a certain hobby shop. Interested I called him back up to ask for price. He told me 500 USA dollars when the original prices were around 570 to 650 or so. Told me it's in the original shipping crate from losi, in original box sealed never broken the seal to open box. I took it home and sat it on the shelf.....until today when my curiosity and disbelief got me. I had to know if this really is a super rare rc car, do I own one? Never happens to me...I never get a cool thing like that. So with careful hands freshly washed, I carefully broke the seal and pulled the truck out...... I had to break the zip ties holding the truck to the box, but I had to so I could look under the truck where the build number is. I flipped it over and yepp.... I still can't believe it .. I have truck 197 of 250 ever made with the white camo body. I'm super stoked and feel like a happy 12 year old. I did break the seal and lifted the truck from the crate, but who cares ...it may now of dropped value a few dollars, but I did remove the battery, because it comes with battery installed and I will never run this truck(shelf queen 100%) and don't want a lipo battery leaking all over the truck from sitting around. Plus I'll use that battery in one of my other cars. I just can't see wasting a good lipo just because it's part of a rare car set. A lipo is a lipo, so it will be used. Here are some pictures, finally I have a cool, rare rc car....really exciting to me. Thanks for reading this long post.! Scroll down to see all pictures.
  2. Another CC01 build, I've been fascinated with these little trucks since I first cracked open my XC01 Jeep back in the 90's. Got hold of a Tamiya Izuzu Amigo body in a trade that was a little worse for wear. Gladly traded a new Pajero shell for it as I like the look, and it's something different. I figured since it was already fairly beat, it would be a fine body to take out on the woods and trail worry free! I was debating some sort of solid axle rig, but in the end it was right at home on a CC01 chassis where the good Lord intended. I had one here I was messing with converting over to an HPI suspension, and after some wheelbase adjustments, it dropped right on. It had a 3:1 reduction and Tamiya Xacto mini motor ready to go - best combo out there for a trail ready CC chassis. I also used some lead fishing wire to line the chassis rails to add some weight down low. Rear suspension started with some modified Axial Wraith brackets to angle the shocks for a bit more travel. Front is modified with some HPI parts..more on that later. A look at the bottom. Junfac sliders and some others odds and ends The body was missing the rear section, so I added some cross bars and mesh to fill it in. A modified Dingo interior is also velcro'd in to fill in the hole. The PO of this body used a lighter apparently to melt and flare out the wheel wells. They were (are) a wavy mess on all for corners...I started sanding down to get them close, and eventually I'll fill a bit so they are somewhat straight. The orange paint has to go, so there's a lot of bodywork in the future for this truck. Painted the details on the grill and removed the front bumper as it was cracked and pretty much an eyesore. Now has a much more appropriate off road front end!
  3. Picked up another New Bright Discovery shell few weeks ago and set about stripping, prep and primered....on to colour choice Wasn't sure which way to go until I saw my friends Pajero so choice made Going to keep this pretty scale looking with some new SDI tyres added
  4. Regretfully I have to sell my Discovery LR3 Chassis is used but maintained, front and rear diffs locked, front brick removed with custom front, 4 link suspension, rear shocks moved inward for better flex, extended prop shaft, hobbyking waterproof servo, Novak terra claw motor. Electrics cased in a sealed box for waterproofing (you will need to reseal, silicon sealer works great) Body is a new bright discovery, custom made headlights, clear windscreen and front windows removed (can fit clear if required) Wheels are 5 spoke tamiya with fastrax kongs I can include a tamiya teu-101bk esc (but would recommend getting a quikrun 1060 as its a great crawler esc) and an orange gr300 2.4ghz rx nice trail rig and will perform better than a standard CC01. for the record if I was keeping it I'd buy a junfac or other extended prop. selling only as I haven't room and just started another build Price £100 inc postage and PayPal post to UK only, no overseas shipping, any questions please PM me
  5. Couple of years ago I got a cc01 with a Range Rover Classic shell, had a few runs and used the chassis for my now G4 discovery. Since then the shell has gathered dust and almost threw it away in a pre Christmas clear out, put in the loft until now. Removed from hibernation this morning and couldn't help thinking....I need another project! so..good lady out for the day and a bit of free time, shell before I begin Bit bruised and a colour I wasn't pleased with. Browsed range rover classic pics and paint shopping tomorrow......
