Bloody beautiful mate, yours is one of the best CC01s I've seen. The colours are great, I'm still in love with that roof rack and I just adore the headlights for some reason, they just look so perfectly scale I think.

Nice Jeep mate, what motor are you running inside? How did you find it at 4x4ing in the sand?

thank you! running the stock tamiya motor, not sure about the turns on it. It did very well in sand especially with front open deff. but super fun.

They are a sweet car... I am currently running a 80T motor which makes it quite slow but I live in "bush" so its always on some kind of trail..I also purchased a second diff lock bag from ebay and have locked both diffs.. It really helps when climbing over small logs etc but the turning radius definitely suffers. Awesome pics btw... Take it easy....

I have an scx10 as well with locked fronts, but i want to leave these ones open just to give it that super scale ride.

Very nice build here. I have been considering purchasing this kit as well. I was unaware this vehicle was IFS.

Colorofkris · 01-13-2013, 10:34 AM

Ordered a winch for the the yj, after I get that In I will most likely set up the lighting kit and water proof the rest of the electronics. After I finish that I will be slapping the m/ts back on and takin the yj and jk out for a nice long trail ride! I will have pics up later with the progress.

Colorofkris · 03-07-2013, 08:02 PM

Havent had much time for updating, but heres some stuff for ya. Put the winch on, finished water proofing, also took it out a few times the past month or so, so far I love the yj.

derb · 03-07-2013, 08:30 PM

YES! Dirty, sexy mud pics for the win. It also looks much better with a bit of wear and tear on the paint now.

scorpion ax-10 · 03-07-2013, 08:32 PM
