Tamiya Unimog CC01
Guys,
I got this Unimog a couple months back, collected a couple upgrades before the build, and then started working on it during Christmas break.
I upgraded the motor mount, got the ball bearing steering kit, a 60T motor, and some better wheels and tires.
I think I want ot do a "Search & Rescue" theme, we'll se what it evolves into...

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
Also, If any of you have any parts or CC01 vehicles they want to part with, I'd be interested.
What I'd really like to find is a complete chassis with transmission and rear suspension only. I want to cut down the chassis, wide front arms, rear spacers, custom shock towers, long shocks, extended rear 4-link, etc.
I don't really want to buy another new one to hack up...

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
I have a well used jeep, it's not for sale but my point being that there are some weak parts that will be used up if you buy a used one.

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
Got a few more things done to the Unimog.
Sprayed some real bedliner spray on there, it turned out really cool
I've still got some finishing touches to do on the body. I want to get some white medical crosses and "EMERGENCY" decals for it too.

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
Nice truck, good luck with the steering. I finally gave up and hacked off the front of the chassis to make a normal front mounted servo.
Sleeps with a night light on, not because he's scared of the dark but because the dark is scared of him...........stay thirsty my friends

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
That's a good call on the loctite. I'll have to grab some next time I'm in town.

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
A few more things done today. The project is almost complete. I ordered a roof rack with a light bar for the top which should be here soon. Let me know what you guys think.

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
Looks sharp! Still love the old XC/CC-01 chassis. Tough, fun to drive, and with a few tweaks, can surprise you with its ability.

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
Well, I finely got the rack put on. I think she's done except for adding some scale goodies in the rack like a shovel, cooler, bed rolls, etc. and maybe a custom aluminum front bumper.

Re: Tamiya Unimog CC01
That looks awesome. I had a ride in a Unimog in Mexico a couple years ago, they are very cool vehicles. About the only thing I'd consider doing, and I'd only do it for scale-looking models, is to find a way to hide the wires & electronics inside the windows. I don't know if this model comes with a cockpit or driver figure, but if not, maybe even a flat piece of Lexan painted black on one side could be folded up and attached with a bit of Velcro and the wires tucked beneath it. Kinda nit-picky but I'd only make that suggestion for a scale model, not off-road buggies.
