It's another great kit from Tamiya.

Cool! Thanks for checking it out!!

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

They did a nice job on the kit!

Thanks! Yup, it's priced well.

sylvainster30 No way! I have a lot of time into painting that thing LOL! 😉

Yes, much better driving experience than an out of the box CC-01

​@@rcdriver👍👍👍👍👍

I have some MST crawler like them very much.

It's not phillips head, it's JIS (Japan Industry Standard)

Lol Phillips head screwdriver here in the USA and most other countries.... But I guess they need to be different

EITHER WAY Hex Head Screws - like nearly EVERYONE else!! 😖

I guess that is part of it being a Tamiya

@@mikej8832 Philips heads are designed to slip off, it is practically the worst tool standard ever designed... the JIS or european ISO norms are FAR FAR FAR better nowadays, but Philips still remains the standard in those countries.

I fully agree with you. Plus n ou t to mention they're usually a little more than some companies rigs. I think tamiya needs to stop all the re releases and actually do some R&D to what the scene is and come out with something that will give other companies a run for there money but also make the price point competitive

got the old landfreeder cc-01 and i would never compare it to a crawler. its a garden basher. the are to quick and have road tires (even bad on road) for terrain i go with my axial scx10. i do agree on the prize point.

The moment you said "crawlers", I knew you misunderstood what this whole vehicle (actually the whole CC line of chassis) is all about. The CC chassis trucks are NOT crawlers, they are made for scale driving. Scale trail driving. That's it. "CC" stands for "Cross Country". If you took a real-world Mercedes Benz G500 fresh off the lot and onto a bunch of giant rocks and huge overhangs, do you think you'd get good results? No. And it's the same here. These are not intended to compete/compare against "crawlers". I for one am glad that Tamiya are releasing scale 4x4 vehicles such as this. It's such a breath of fresh from all the "crawling" that's overtaken the industry. Sure, there's clearly a (big) market for that, and those who like it can obviously enjoy it, but what really gets me is ppl who come along and paint scale, realistic, 4x4 chassis vehicles such as these with the 'crawler' brush and when they invariably don't hit the mark in that regard, proceed to denigrate the models. Maybe I'm showing my age here - and yes I am from a slightly older generation (Gen Y) - but I think this truck and this chassis, is the bee's knees. It's the perfect complement to a CC-01 which has an IFS and solid axle combo, and I can't wait to see what other bodies Tamiya produce for it. I do agree with your point around pricing and sure Tamiya is leaning on their brand name in that regard, but then again, how many other scale 4x4 vehicles are out there right now, that actually offer unlocked diffs (excluding the TRX-4 with all its portal axle madness and some of the Heng Guan models from China)? Dare I say RC4WD are doing well with their scale trucks, but even they don't offer a proper scale axle with an actual differential. They are all just setup for 'crawling'...such a shame in my book, as the RC4WD models look very scale and realistic otherwise. Anyways, my 0.02 (and some spare change lol).

​@HarmanMotorWorks If you want realistic scale trail driving, there are still better options out there like the mercury chassis. Or just remove the portal axles from the trx4 and install smaller tires. Tamiyas are overpriced garbage.

'As long as it runs'

I'd rather TAMIYA save those nylon bushings for themself than keep them in the box...got hundreds of them, no use at all.

This kit does go together well.

1.55 beadlocks, and RC4WD (I have Baja mtz's on one of my CC01's) makes some smaller tires that fit the tamiya CC series well. Try to find a Yeah Racing steering rack. And maybe a rear link kit. The 01 wasn't perfect but with the right upgrades it's a fun trail runner 👍🏻

At LEAST Tamiya is TRUE 1/10th Scale! Axial - 1/9 to 1/8th, Vaterra Ascender - 1/9th, TRAXXASS - 1/9th... Most People just accept those as 1/10th.

Couldn't agree with you more. A lot of hobbyists, including youtubers tend to ignore that the CC-02 isn't a crawler. Some would even compare the CC-02's MSRP to competitors' discounted retail price. Branding the Tamiya as overpriced poor performing crawler.

Agreed. This truck can do really light crawling and off-road. Not the extreme crawling that other trucks can do

yeah all the hype of a new chassis and it's made to only use their stuff which can't really be changed out. the most cmx is this size but sooo much better all around.

Sadly Tamiya is the only company nowadays that still mass produce kits that take some effort to assemble (like removing parts from their molds or cutting out bodies and stickers, painting, etc.)

1Stunna2323 Just keeps everything looking nice and neat while doing the review. It’s turned into a habit also so the battery isn’t completely plugged in while not in use. A plugged in battery will still drain power even if the switch is off.

@@rcdriver That's what I suspected. I figured it's so the battery doesn't drain and it looks tidy during the reviews. I share your attention to detail sir.

Thanks! Lot's of good choices in the design by Tamiya while staying true to the Tamiya Modeling experience. Usually I'm not good with the music stuff. But glad you liked it!

Yup, I reviewed the Hummer many moons ago. The lugs though are too closely packed together. I'd rather try softening the Mud Blocks some more if I was going through the effort. Good tip to share. Thanks!

@@rcdriver mud blocks? I don't think I have ever seen those, what vehicle do they come on? You are welcome for the tip.

@@rcdriver I just looked them up and yes that would be a great tire if it were softer.

I have a TRX-4 project do do. Won't be a Monster Truck, but a fun crawler project.

@@rcdriver works for me, they are a cool all around platform. I'm very surprised with the durability as a brushless monster truck. I'm excited for a fun crawler video. Great video btw I enjoy them all. I've watched the drag slash series 4-5 time now maybe more.

Kinda does doesn't it.

To be technical, this kit already has a locked centre; most RC 4x4 vehicles do lol (haven't seen any RC models with an unlocked centre thus far)

@@HarmanMotorWorks then people should say that this thing has three differentials.

@@bradkalman2353 It technically doesn't have three differentials though. Just two. And it has a 'locked centre' (shaft). Basically the same as a part-time 4x4 system in a real vehicle. Looks like the only way one can simulate a 3-diff scale vehicle around this size is to build a Lego model...(the Lego Defender 42110 has three actual diffs for example)

💪💪👍👍🤔🤔

hi D R... ' because of nylon plastic bushing is a so cheap and short time... best use all metal ball bearings than nylon plastic bushing

There's something out there for everyone.

@@rcdriver true, here in the uk it will be expensive. and to me its not sure what it wants to be. as you say, no crawler so an expensive trail truck. much better, cheaper options available. I love Tamiya rc, have a house full, but this needed to be at least an scx 10 rival in my eyes

You have to use a hair dryer to warm them up and then press them down. The heat activates the adhesive, they contour better too when warmed up.

They are not Phillips head screws but JIS head screws, much better grip.

@@GTMatukka I don’t own any JIS drivers, but my Phillips drivers worked great all those years ago? Oh well, I don’t own any Tamiya any more, those Phill...I mean JIS hardware sucked.
