CR01 Unimog build

[neverfollow]

Very impressive build Sir . Great choice of hop ups and scale items too . When will we see it getting down and dirty ?

Thank you bromvw...I hope to very soon. The only time I usually have a chance to run my cars is on the weekends, and lately I've had to work every weekend.

And on to the body...

Gun metal paint, by popular demand

I like what you're doing with that Unimog! And I must say I'm not that much into hopups myself Excellent work.

Also, your cars on the wall behind, they look awesome, too.

Thank you x2 Mongoose! I really appreciate the kind words. After nearly 30 years away from the hobby, I've come back with a vengeance

A few more parts arrived today for this build and for my next.

I had ordered this TFU-01 esc cooling fan nearly a month ago and it finally arrived today. It's a great little kit, comes with whatever necessary bracketry to fit a wide array of Tamiya esc's. It's compact and not too tall, so it won't interfere with any body parts.

As packaged:

All wired up:

I also picked up another pair of RC4wd's Mudslingers and Militant alloy wheels. Using the original wheel as a spare tire, and it's tire being wider with a different tread pattern, it seemed out of place.

Here you can see my 5th wheel assembly mounted:

Looks much better now!

I think you have enough left over parts to build a stock one.

You now need to build a trailor and put the 35T motor to work.

Sucks to have to spend all that money just for the spare, but boy does it look good that way

You are 100% correct, and thank you for originally suggesting it!

+1 re. the functional spare. Looks much better!

Save when you can, spend when you gotta

Thought I'd post some videos here of my Unimog in action.

Are you using wheel weights and foams - seems to lack traction on the front end ? loves its appearance though

Thanks! Foam but no wheel weights. I haven't gotten around to it yet. Disassembling those wheels is a task in itself lol.

Looks fantastic - can't believe I overlooked this thread before now! Lovely build sir.

I wouldn't want to add up what a build like that would cost though!
