In this case the car isn't even intended to be a racer. The CC-01 is Tamiya's 1990s chassis for their Jeep Cherokee, Pajero, etc. vehicles, and still gets rereleased to this day with new bodies. It's basically a proto-crawler chassis with independent front suspension and live rear axle with highly realistic bodies. It's biggest issue is that the suspension...well...bends so much that it doesn't really work . So it needs about 150 bucks in aftermarket parts to fix the most basic issues in the rear suspension alone. Add another 100 for better wheels and tires (the original tires are very hard), and the remaining money for fixing the other issues + ball bearings. OTOH, it includes a basic ESC.
The car in question is basically the Tamiya I always wanted but never bought, so sentimental value yes.
Given the price of crawlers you may actually save a few dollars and still have a crawler you want.
One of my other reasons was because I thought it might satisfy my desire for a RC vehicle with scale looks for much less that a Tamiya 1/14 truck.
Right now it looks like the cheapest 1/14 cabs might actually cost me less than the CC-01 + options...cab + trailer might be just a little bit more than the CC-01. That is, if I don't go down the rabbit hole with regards to 4-wheel drive conversion and elaborate electronics for the cab.
I purchased a I purchased a TrackStar 120A Gen II ESC that I have tried to install. But I can't get throe the whole installation sequence, so I need your help guys! This is my first brushless system... :oops:

What up RC10 talk. Noob here. Just got back into these, it’s probably been 30 years since any of these have run. I figured I’d share them with you and query whether or not I should be running these as some parts have been breaking and now I’m tasked...
Here is a pic of My VINTAGE i mean Vintage Tamiya HotShot. This 4WD Buggy is definitely all original and in good overall condition. So check it out people!
I'm making aluminum Sand Scorcher race chassis for Team CRP, and was told that I don't need to drill the 4 holes near the side edges of the rear. Neither of us knows what those holes are for, and I'm hesitant to leave them out science they are in...
