JBHardwear's CC-01 build (mud and water rig)

[JBHardwear]

Well I got the urge to build another rig the other day, didn't want another scale crawler, but more of a mud and water trail rig. I thought about buying another SCX10 and converting one of my other ones but decided I wanted to build something different, so I ordered another CC-01 kit (Pajero).
I have wanted a Pajero for a while and thought it would be perfect as a non-crawler trail rig.

Pajero CC-01
No ball bearings-WHAT? thats right bushing won't rust or stick-I will upgrade to bearings when bushings wear out.
Junfac 4-Link w/center skid
Junfac rear diff skid
Junfac front approach bumper-Pajero Brushgaurd coming soon.
Venom 55t motor
Blue Bird WP Servo
Venom Water proof ESC
Spectrum SR300WP receiver
RC4WD Black Steelies wrapped in M/T Baja MTZ's
Steering upgrade on order!

Looking good mate, I love these hard bodies. If you're going for a waterproof rig I can highly recommend some stuff called Plasti-dip. I've used it to waterproof my electronics on my R1 and its never failed. Plus if you don't like it, or its half torn off, just peel it off and dip again. Also those skid plates, while looking awesome, will actually reduce your clearance and make it more prone to hangups.

Plastic Dip will definatly be used, as far as the skid, well this rig will not see any rock just uneven muddy ground and water. I have 4 other CC-01's that are water proof, 1- liftted with custom 4-link and 1 hacked down to bare minimum. This one will be more of a.....pretty yard rig

Your off to a good start! Good choice for upgrades! The body color you chose is going to look really nice!

Thank you, gonna let the body cure a couple of days and clear it for a little more protection.

The black lower half is gonna look great with the black rims too. I can't really say whether I like the blue yet, but outside pics will probably sway me.

Should have listened to my inner child it told me I should have used Rebel Orange

Well here it is so far, the blue is darker than it looks, but here ya go. Also I want your feedback on the bumpers-Chrome or paint the chrome black textured?

Looks good. Those tires really look the right size on there. What are they (Can't read what they are)? Nice touch with the real spare.

Looks great mate, the chrome in the bumper sets it off nicely.

Yep, The front and rear looks nice with the added chrome. Nice truck.

I agree after running it it does set it of, I have added emblems and will be doing something to make the rear tail lights, blinkers and side markers stand out

Little truck looks good.
