|  Subaru Brat CC-01 Project
My first Tamiya kit was the Subaru Brat. The Brat body always remained a favourite however, the ORV chassis is not. I finally decided to pick up a Brat body and decided to fit it on top of a proper 4x4 chassis. I eventually settled on a CC-01. For wheels / Tyres I decided to stay with the Sand Blaster 915 from Brat wheel. I purchased two sets so that I could have a complete set of rears for front and back. Sent them to a friend to do some mods on his lathe. Today I started to prep the body and test fit it on the chassis. I put some tyres on the chassis as place holders.. Everything looked good from the side, the back..until I took a look at the front. What the $#%&*$  is that giant piece of plastic in the front.. arg!!! Darn you Tamiya Turns out the brat body doesn't cover the CC-01 Tub very well..  Thoughts? |

| Re: Subaru Brat CC-01 Project  You want to do something like this to make it fit, and honestly, they should get removed on any build with this chassis. It is a big brick that gets caught up on anything in its path. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Yes!! Brats are fun little rigs on the CC01 platform. Here is my old Brat I built 10 plus years ago.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They were custom made for 12mm hex. Lots of drilling and cutting. Another member, Pantablo did them. I believe he did a write up in the wheels and tires section. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |
