TurnipJF 9192 Posted September 18, 2019 I am liking the look of the plastics. They appear to be the fibre reinforced ones used on the higher end kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then some "special edition" black aluminium ones. And you'll all buy them. So true! Hahaha! But seriously, I'll skip the CC-02 and get an HPI Venture instead. I have spent so much on my CC-01 already. Now I want a more serious crawler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want a longer wheelbase crawler and put a Toyota LC70 (hard body) on to it. So the Venture is just right with the right peice too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jon 684 Posted September 18, 2019 I'm liking the plastics and general "Tamiya-ness" of this kit; however, I hate the body choice and continued use of JIS screws. I'd like a Bowler body. It would really suit this chassis well, especially with the diffs unlocked and a mild motor upgrade. I'll probably get one once more body choices are available, or if Tamiya does a "Pro" version without a body set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
87lc2 2666 Posted September 19, 2019 I'm as big a Tamiya fan as anyone, but they're about 10 years too late on this one. Why anyone would buy this over an MST is beyond me. Not to mention the fact that it looks even more like a toy than the CC01. The only thing I don't mind is the use of JIS screws. Get the right tools and they're great. I generally prefer hex hardware for looks, but the Tamiya screws are always high quality and work well when using the right tools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TDanny 146 Posted September 19, 2019 Could it be that the plastics used in CC02 are FRP plastic? Seems strange on the close-ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juls1 1661 Posted September 19, 2019 looks to be using the FRP plastic, It wouldn't surprise me, the layout doesn't look built enough to be regular tamiya plastic. There is alot of different grades of FRP Tamiya uses, from only slightly stiffer to very stiff. Remains to be seen when we get them in hand what the flex is like, but a little flex in the chassis for a crawler probably not a bad thing. But i can't see how they could use the same plastic as the CC01, it'd be floppy and uselessly flexy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juls1 1661 Posted September 19, 2019 Kinda Disapointed with the plastic centre driveshafts, but i guess Traxxas have been doing it for years, chances are it'll be more than tough enough. Although I wonder about what they will be like with mud in them.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted September 19, 2019 Not sure about those holes in the axle casings - looks like a point of entry for dirt. I'd probably plug them with grub screws or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shenlonco 1156 Posted September 19, 2019 Looks like snag heaven to me, to much plastic parts hanging super low and the braces on the bottom of the pumpkins who would do such a dumb thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bromley 681 Posted September 19, 2019 The on/off switch placement is pretty daft. That has to be changed, if you don't want the thing switching itself off randomly. Some scale shocks would look so much nicer than those chunky units. Still not putting me off getting one though. 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
