There's a thread with tons of pictures of cc01's using stock or different sourced bodies.

Since I'm such a photo whore I'll post a couple I did/have using other than standard bodies:












You're going to love it!

Welcome! I LOVE my cc01 - I got the exact same kit recently. It was enjoyable to build in all aspects (axial could learn a thing or two from tamiya in the build manual IMO ).
Still building bits and pieces, here is a coupke pics of mine from behind my house

Just ordered the bearings, thanks again Derb for the sizes!!!!!

Still debating on piecing together a hex head screw kit, seems like a lot of work and money. But I really hate phillips screws!

I'd check out McMaster-Carr for the hardware, but remember that every upgrade has different hardware.. Pins and c-clips for a-arms and numerous machine screws for steering kits and four links.. Which most will be Philips.

Yeah I think I'm going to buy the hopups before a screw kit

[abailey21]

Just picked up the Junfac 4 link with skid plate setup

also picked up some GPM aluminum goodies;

Upper and lower front arms
C-Hubs
Knuckles
Gear cover
Motor Plate

I'll post some pics once I get everything in

I've been building & running Tamiya's since the 80's and have never owned a CC-01 based kit.....this is making me want to get one.

[abailey21]

I've had so many Tamiya's over the years, weird that this is my first NEW Tamiya ever.

Looking back I've owned 9 of them, just looking at the parts bags I don't think I'll be disappointed!

[abailey21]

So out of curiosity, where do you guys buy tube of boat grease?

Only easily accessible place I've found it is on amazon?

[abailey21]

So I got my kit a few weeks ago, I've spent the time picking up some odd's and ends I wanted to utilize during the build.


I started by picking up a bearing kit from Avid, and some green GPM parts


I used some marine grease I picked up at a local West Marine to get everything rotating smoothly. I'm not used to such thick grease, it was almost comical while building up the gear box cause I thought I was doing something wrong.



Thats all I have thus far. I'm still debating on using the stock power system for upgrading so I'm kind of at a stand still, also my Junfac order hasn't gotten here yet and it's been 3 weeks so I'm not moving on until I get that.

Damn, got enough resolution?

I assumed these pics would have been small using Imgur, but I guess I wanted the international space station to see them????
