Tamiya Cc-01 Ford Baja Build

[Mr Be]

Hello Again.

The first Tamiya "Kit" if full form for me. They laughed at the store when my friend and I told them it was my first full out of box build.

Fair enough, off we went with the new Pajero Metaltop kit. In my fashion tho, had alternate plans....

I won't bother posting the basics of the kit. The focus will be on the changes and development towards the "Ford" in the title, and one of the funnest runners that I have.

Tamiya rocks, check this out.....

1st Modification: Shocks, RC Channel upgrade. These shocks were delivered super smooth. Not a hitch with dragging of any sort, in fact there a bolt and go kinda mod.

then reduced the wheelbase a 1/4" off the inner link setting as seen in photo's.

This mod was to shorten the trucks wheelbase to fit the new body found. A Ford Baja shortbox truck....

More to come when I have a chance.

Not a very friendly store if they are laughing at you - Newcomers to the hobby should always feel welcomed!

Can't wait to see the finished product!
