Modifying CC-01 chassi for Sand Scorcher body, yet able to carry cc01-body

[7jnoprob]

Hloo!

I really like the Sand scorcher body.

I really like the CC-01 chassi.

Combine the two i wanted.

Guggle has surprisingly few hits on how to do it...what was needed to be done to the chassis. Found one on a scale-rc forum that makes the body sit really well. However, the modification made the use of the usual cc01 bodies more difficult since the back body post holes were cut away.

I wanted to eat the cake and still have it. So I began to cut and test and cut some more (rinse and repeat) until i finally found what i think was a good compromise.

How the body sits:

 

The cuts I made:

On the last picture where you can see ..uhm... heated plastic glue residue(from a gluegun) I'm going to put a strip of velcro to fasten the Sand Scorcher body when the body is finished.

 

And then I made new removable body mounts with computer screws and steering links so I can use my other cc01 bodies.

Yes, the plastic has been damaged after some rolls and flips...it still holds the mounting screws though. I might need to make new somewhere else, but if you drive somewhat more sensible than me, this could be a nice solution i think.

Yes.. that was my contribution... Hope someone can use it! =)

That CC01 beetle looks great, and would look good crawling through some rough terrain. Nice idea.

Thanks! Just have to find some nice rims... and not sure about the crawling, I drive my rc´s like they were hunted by a horde of ...uhm... really quick monsters of some sorts hehe.
