I fixed the rolling chassis. Installed a RC4WD 4:1 reduction unit on a 55t motor which required a bit of modification to the battery area (including relocating the battery) and installed a new METRIC 16t pinion.
Runs nice and slow...

WOW That is amazing

It looks so real super awesome job

pantablo · 05-03-2009, 01:11 AM

thanks. it was a blast to drive too. a bit compromised by lack of ground clearance, only a bit more so than my other rigs, the reduction unit rocks, the grippy tires work really well too. was scraping my bumpers everywhere...mmm...

like here:

I really dig this rig. I'll run this body until the sequoia is done, then maybe finish a second cc-01 chassis I have parts for and run this body.

edit:
also, I did some sanding and, impatient as I am, sprayed a bit of color on the front to see how the flares would look on charcoal.

If you get a chance I wouldn't mind seeing some pics of your reduction set up. I have been thinking about adding one to my Pajero. The flares are going to look killer on the charcoal. Great color choice.

thanks.
here you go...
my battery now sits just forward of where it is supposed to go, and over the motor. I use velcro straps to secure it to the brackets intended to hold the servo in.

nascarkeith · 05-05-2009, 08:41 AM

Awesome! Thats what I needed to see. I was wondering where you put the battery. Seems like a good set up you got worked out there.

tanner · 05-06-2009, 09:07 AM

Holy crap, how did i miss this. Thats awsome man. I cant wait to see this one done

scalerfreak · 05-15-2009, 11:20 AM

anything yet? im dieing to see some updates lol

btw, were did you get the rover body?

pantablo · 05-15-2009, 12:53 PM

rover body is a discontinued New Bright toy. you can still occasionally find them in stores but its by pure chance. I got lucky and someone I knew (on scale) found a few in a store and grabbed them, lol.

Sequoia now has layers of styrene on roof edge waiting for shaping. oh joy.

and i cant wait to see the body finished, i have a good feeling its going to be sick!!

pantablo · 05-18-2009, 03:51 PM

revised battery location. we'll see how it works out. the battery kept coming loose no big rolls (big hits) in the other spot.

scalerfreak · 05-18-2009, 05:48 PM

looks like a secure spot, hows the body coming along?

focusing on the range rover classic for a bit. Then I'll get back to it.

scalerfreak · 05-18-2009, 09:18 PM

cool cool, if you dont mind me asking, were did you get the toyota tundra body? and will they fit to stock cc-01 chassis if you just leave it stock?

tundra body available through rpphobby.com. its too long for the cc-01 chassis. I took out a bit over an inch from the bed/cab combined and mated it perfectly to the long wb setting.

scalerfreak · 05-18-2009, 10:12 PM

thanks! just place my order!
