Isuzu MU build
 

After an Ascender, a Twin Hammers, a Sawback and a FreeMen (copy of SCX10.2), it was time to give a try to the prehistoric CC01 ...

Out of the box ... not a performer by any means ...

4 links on the rear with 3d printed brackets and some AX10 leftovers, a bit more steering angle (but still haven't change the steering mechanism), bearings all around, a 55T, the brick of course, better sliders and belly protection (3d printed), and then wheels and tires.

I'm not a fan of brand new trucks, neither rusted to death ... so I went mid-way for a beaten SUV that still has some life expected, with some dents and rust and cooked clearcoat. Not fan either of driver-less trucks so even if the tinted windows don't let see much, I've managed to make a basic interior with a young driver trying (without much luck) to impress his girlfriend.

First drive with its definitive wheels and tires :

Still not the best performer but way better than it was out of the box. Will see what it can do next time i'll go on a trail with friends.

Nice work on your first CC01! You did a great job on removing the block as well. Like you said, Tires are a necessity. "thumbsup" When you are ready to upgrade the steering, I have had really good luck with the Hot Racing replacement set-up. includes bearings and a center carbon fiber link. "thumbsup"

Thanks.

HR steering upgrade is planned, seems the most reliable of all.
