CC-01 DISCO BUILD

[GrumGTI]

hi guys, 1st off im new here, so id like to say Hi to all tamiyaclub members

ive been into rc'ing for a few years now but have mainly been into nitro's, ive currently 4 rc's 2nitro and 2 tamiyas. HPI savage, Ansmann Virus, Tamiya M03 Mini cooper, CC-01

i still class myself as a fellow newbie as in all honesty i dont know much about electric rc's.

iv bought the CC-01 off a fellow TC member ( CARRERA ) it came with a newbright disco hardbodi shell.

ive orderd some body mounts off another TC member, not sure of his username but CARRERA put me onto him about them, the guy is called ant?

anyway, ive got it up and running, all be it with a vintage manaul speed controller ( out the m03 ) as i didnt have a spare esc knocking about.

im loving some of the scale disco build ive seen about so decided to give it ago myself.

sofar ive not really done anything to the cc01 apart from get it up and running and have a little bash in the garden.

is there any "Must DO" mods to the cc01 to make it better, im after lots of axel atriculation and a highlift kind of look. but keeping it scale at the same time.

anyway heres a few pics of whats it looking like at the minuee,

im hopeing to get some better shocks, possibly a 4link suspension mod, and some 1.9 crawler tyres. and of course lots of scale accesories.

hope to get some good ideas of mods and how to make the best of my cc001 of fellow cc01 owners and fellow tamiyaclub members

thanks for that willl take a look at that, yeah ive dived in at the deep end so to speak lol, but its all a learning curve i suppose. are theses chassis particulaly hard to mod or is it the fact im doing it based off the disco shell thats gona be the hard part, either way im going to have to get through it one way or anohther. to get a truley scale look im after

ive been told about the junfac 4link mod with skidplate, is it worth doing?

Yes as far as im aware this was a shortwheel base cc01, which carrera lengethed for the disco shell, if i remmebr correctly, all that was needed was the longer drive shaft.

New Bright are the better 'RC Toys' but their Landie bodies are pretty detailed and are ideal for scale builds.

Hi,

I bought 1.9 size tyres for my CC01 Pajero, but didn't realise that there is a massive variation in size. The Tyres I bought were 109mm outside diameter, I think the kit tyres are 85mm. They look ok now that I have cut them down to around 98mm but its a lot of work that you can easily avoid. The tyres I would buy for a CC01 now are the RC4wd Prowlers, they are the only ones I have found less than 100mm, I am sure there must be others available now but heres a link to the prowlers -

r4wd prowler

and heres the some info on the pajero build - no hop ups just lots of cutting, filler and tyre glue - remember that if the flat iron tyres look good on my car, thats after I spent days cutting them down and glueing them back together, the prowlers are this size out of the packet.

thanks for that bit of info, and nice build i have to say,

i was thinking along the lines of somthing like this ( please see ebay link)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ansmann-Racing-T...1#ht_977wt_1226

now these are 108mm, so would probablly require some cutting nd trimming etc, but they come with the wheel look im after....the old "steel" rim look

im definatley going to look into the RC4WD prowler tyres! thanks for the link.

one thing im curious to know, whats the biggest size shocks i could get on the cc01 without having to cut away millions of bits of the tub chassis,

im trying to keep it in as much of one original piece as possible.

Best mods on the CC01

1. GPM steering set up, it replaces the sloppy plastic bits and tightens it all up.

2. 4 link rear end, either make it yourself or use the GPM kit or the Junfac one comes with the skid plate (I used the Junfac one)

3. Locked front and rear diffs for serious off roading

4. New tyres, Ansmann and Fastrax do 96mm wheel sets which will fit under your shell, I had to lift the body slightly and trim the front arches for clearance

If you want taller shocks, then consider GPM front arms with CVD's, the standard dog bones can pop out if you push it too far.

One of these got me hooked on scale trucks, now own four and love them.

thanks for that, defo going to lock the diffs, new tyres + wheels and possibly a 4link conversiion with the skidplate.

2day i had it out in the mud and it really was sturggling gettining anywhere without the diffs locked.

so i decided to bring it back in, and get on with a bit of diff locking, this is now done on the rear just have the front to go,

while i was doing t i gave it a bit of a lift on the rear, with some body posts i had laying about, ( i think there off a cc01 anyway )

definatley neeeds a bit of a lift on the front.

this has give it a nice height all round and also gave a bit of travel in the rear. im happy with the result, perhaps the front needs a few washers too?

i also cut the ends of the stock pajero bumper and meshed it, looks alot better IMO, stil needs a few bits trimming here and there but looks better.

This is mine out and about in the woods, Ansmann tyres on a set of random black Tamiya wheels, diffs locked, Junfac 4-link + skidplate, GPM steering set up, Hitec HS645MG servo, Carson Truck Puller modified motor, and the 8mm body lift all round.

Takes some good planning but it will go almost anywhere.

Hi GrumGTI and welcome,

Great buy, one of the nicer looking shells, seems like you started in the right place with locking the diff.

Only one word of warning, there is so many nice things for these, it can be very bad for your wallet

yeah thats pritty much what ill be doing to this, they seem the most "done" mods so to speak, regard to the body lift, i currently have it mounted with some velcro which seems to hold up pritty good, i may raise it sllightly when i get some new wheels and tyres.

LOL dont i know it, been looking around at some of the mods and prices, i can see myself with a very veryempty wallet and a very unhappy misses lol!

anyway, i had it out again today with the rear diff locked, it only lasted about 5minuetes before the plastic i used to locked just gave way, so im back to lsd's.

What s the best recommended way to lock the diffs on the cc-01? any specific way best or is just locking it up with anything i find the best option?

i also got rid of the stock pajero front bumper and made myself a lillte skidplate out of some spare alluminium i had laying about off an old pc case.

ill add some pics later on, i also did a quick video but am currently waitin for it to upload, all be it on the vid the diff wasnt locked and tyres wernt glued so it was struggeling like a b*!@h

[GrumGTI]

hes the vid i made today.

Bare in mind the diffs wernt locked, the tyres wernt glued, they were standad tyres, and im using a manual speed contoller contolled by a servo so its kinda of either on or off lol.

will be good to look back when ive done the mods for a comparison

not sure how u embed them on here so ive had to just link it could anybody tel me how to embed videos please?
