I think you're talking about the Tamiya Touareg kit CC-01 chassis. It makes a decent low budget scaler if you add a hard body and some scale details. About $150 with ESC. |

The possibilities are almost endless. I put some geolanders on mine with a GD-600 gear reduction and it is crazy how capable those mods made it.

I put a Clod body on mine, added some scale details like a hi-lift jack, dog kennel with dog, tents, sleeping bags, jumper cables, roof rack stacked with some firewood, spare tire on back of Savage rear bumper, front brush guard etc. I call it my pretend scaler, since it's a tub chassis and not a true ladder frame. I still have a blast with it Last edited by freetimecrawler; 04-29-2007 at 10:31 PM. | |
