CC-01: Hop Ups and other goodies I dug through my tamiya dealer books and cross referenced a bunch of parts info. I also dug through some Car Action mags with articles about the TA02. As far as the front drives go, CC/XC-01= TA02 (narrow)= TA03 front= FF01. MIP CVDs for TA02(narrow) and TA03 fit perfect. The MIP part numbers for TA02N CVDs can be found here: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/tamiya-xc-cc01/187841-kaetwos-jeep-wrangler.html MIP TA03 part numbers: 1225 for the shiny bones (2 per pack) and 1226 for the CVD axle (1 per pack) Any 1/10th MIP CVD coupler will fit. TA01 and TA02W do not work without different steering knuckles. If you have to have tamiya parts the universal driveshafts part number is 53172. Good luck finding some... Steering knuckles for CC-01, TA02N, TA03, and FF01 are all the same parts. Aluminum pieces spec'd for these should interchange. C carriers for CC01 appear to be the same parts as used on TA02N and FF01. TA03 carriers have different geometry. I cant cross reference the part #s since tamiya molds these parts on different trees for different kits, but the parts breakdowns all have identically drawn parts and the TA02N cars I saw in the RCCAs use the same carriers as the CC01. TA03 are definitely different. These tamiya hop ups fit (Ive used them before when the first rtr jero was released): 53218 Touring Car Hard Joint Cup Set 53141 Lightweight King Pins (these use an allen driver to install and are flat against the c carrier... no more button head sticking down on the bottom of the carrier. 53172 TA02/FF Front Universals These should fit as Ive seen these on a few FF chassis and TA02 kits on Tamiyaclub.com, and they look just like the CC01 carriers, but I dont have them and havent seen them on a CC01: 53226 Aluminum front hub carriers There were a ton of companies that sold blingin' hop ups for the tamiya touring car kits back in the day. Here's a list of manufacturers that I can verify made parts for the TA02N/FF01/TA03: Kose, Tobee Craft, Kawada, Cross, Rainbow, Phoenix, HPI, Tech Racing, GPM, Eagle Some of this stuff was Asian market only so good luck. A company called GTP California imported a lot of the stuff as well. I think trinity had some stuff out at one time, but i cant find anything for sure. Hope this info helps and post up if you guys have any other info on this stuff. |
subscribed for future updates!! :) thanks! Nice to meet another OCD'er |
Excellent write-up!!!! I was always curious about the C-Carrier options and now I know just what to get. Thanks!!! 8) |
Thanks for the helpful info |
Anytime you guys need tamiya numbers cross referenced let me know. I have 2 tamiya dealer books that span the original blackfoot/mountaineer stuff through the TA04 touring cars (I think my newest one is from 2006/2007). Just let me know what you are looking for and I can probably find it. Its really nice when you're looking for older parts because a lot of the part numbers have changed and the same parts may be used in a newer kit with a different part number... |
What kills me is I had a Tamiya TA02 FF with front aluminum knuckles and Tamiya universals for years and I gave it a way last spring before I ever thought about buying a CC-01. |
i was wondering if any of tamiya's 4WD buggies from arms would fit on a CC/XC. or if the wild dagger front arms would fit... |

This is my Hummer here >>>>>> http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=58154 |
the original hummer was on a ta02 chassis but it used some ta01/ta02w stuff per the dealer book. the dog bones are the same but it uses ta02w stub axles and different knuckles. Tamiya mixed and matched parts on a ton of the ta01/ta02 based rides, depending on what body/drive train set up they were trying to build. The hummer was rebadged a df01 when it was brought out as a xb rtr, but it still uses the same a,b,c,d and e part numbers as the original. Quote:

Oh, I know its a TA01/02 chassis, I just wanted to try my hand at being anally PC, lol. I have a the Humvee, a TA02 as well as a TA01 and they are all about the same thing except a few tiny variations. |
LOL glad to know Im not the only old timer around here. |
seein' as how I'm 34 and was racing a Sledgehammer in stock truck class before they changed the rules to deal with it.. your not the only guy who is an oldertimer! lol |
Thank you guys for the great info. |

works for me. thanks for posting this here. some people don't frequent scale and might have missed the first one. if for nothing else at least there now is an good follow-up on this list to be able to double check. "thumbsup" |
Wonder if #53115 will work ? Since it says : Tamiya (#53115) - Tamiya TA02/TL01 Front Universal Shaft Set [53115] any input would be appreciated. |

Don't sweat about it too much, it isn't worth it. Some people racing the tamiya cars will swear on their life if you remove all slop the cars don't handle anymore. I have tried like you in the past to remove all slop, use only quality balljoints, etc and I managed to get it to my liking. But in the end, the result is the same (i.e. a cheap kit). The moral is this is not racing, take the kits for what they are, don't try to make them into top performers when they're meant for bashing. If you look even at kits such as the TRF TC kits they still have slop which is unbelivable, but true. It's a joke when you obsess about shock rebound to discover the slop in the shock mounts is nullifying your efforts entirely. As for the "cheap" (they don't seem cheap to me) kits the slop is so bad, it looks like the whole car sucks its wheels under when you pick it up. Enjoy! |
Re: CC-01: Hop Ups and other goodies Thanks so much to this thread! Very helpful for aspiring Tamiya builders. |
