Love your video content, and the Tamiya you built. You inspired me to purchase this model. Although to be honest I was a bit skeptical, but after the way you built it, painted it, and the wheels/tires you installed on the blue beauty, man! I want one now. btw your videos are always crisp and clear and every aspect my friend. Kudos to you.

Talk about a rabbit hole, I've been upgrading my CC-02 and haven't even taken it outside yet. It's no shelf queen, but I'm just saying to myself "just one more thing I need to get it ready!"

Wow, this came out great.... love the color. Appreciate the video and the pointers/reminders throughout. I'm on the fence with the CC-02 but you definitely make it appealing. I"m sure after you do a running video with this I"m going to want one. Thanks for the great content.

O yeah, the body turned out great.

Great build and tips. I agree a little bit of panel tape will improve the looks as you bring some definition to the panel joints. Great build.

The blue paint looks great! Also, love the Atari shirt. :)

Nice Video. The CC02 is a great and unique little kit, I only wished Tamiya would bring out a portal axle hop-up option, that would be the cherry on the cake, especially for the CC02 Unimog.😅

great vid! glad to see that you took the time out to show others the different builds that you can do with this particular model to personal touches that others might enjoy more. body is spot on! can't wait to see it running along with your other builds since hopefully your weather in BC is getting dryer and warmer. the other mic you used at the beginning seemed great and at the end with the older one, it worked good to, but seemed to cut out or just not pic up the sound as good. cheers Phil! see you in the next one!

Great build Fil

I did the cc02 unimog and just have to say, I really enjoyed the build. It was the same colour shell as its box art for the uni and it is a nice colour. Mine low ratio both diffs locked and yes it's slow, but not much stops it. I also made my own shell mounts so it's magnetic with a quick release power coupling for the LEDs. Nothing fancy but it works.

Aaaaarrrrrrhhhhhh! 😮 There are screws everywhere Fil! What if the cat jumps up? What if you sneeze and grab the towel?? Too much RC build risk for me pal 😂🤣 Super Crisp audio… I am going back in 🙌🏻

can't wait to see how it drives!!

Looks great!! 👍

It is a great little kit. Will be building my 2nd one shortly. Definitely need both diffs locked, made the mistake of leaving the front open on my first one.. won't do that again! 😂😂😂

Body looks awesome 👌 I run my cc02 bronco on low range, locked diffs and 3s with the hobbywing 1080 esc. It's lovely. TLU-01 light unit seems to be able to take 3s as well, I only did a little bench test yrmv! Cheers to you most excellent Fil 🍻

Hi there Fil, another most excellent build video right there my man! I really do like the look of that chassis (or "shassy as it's pronounced!!! 🤣😅👍Only kidding mate, I just remembered one of our earlier conversations!) This is definitely on my radar when funds allow. The colour choice is spot-on too, this is going to look killer out on the trails. Bummer about the missing LEDs, come on Tamiya! Have a great day, dude! 😎👌👍

Roll bar lights?..... Come on Fil, Tamiya rarely even supply bearings with their kits!! 😂 They would certainly be a nice touch though. That body looks awesome, great effort on the paint job mate. An interesting looking chassis, and build for sure.... and the suspension looks like a really cool and effective design. Bet you can't wait to get her out on the rocks! 👍 👍 👍

Looks Great!!

Yeah, man, it's a cool rig! Yes, Tamiya are weird, can't count LED's, want open diffs on a crawler, captive nuts aren't neat, that kind of stuff... Makes me want to get started on mine, hopefully sometime soon, ha ha!

Great looking Truck. You did a wonderful job on. I should have your stickers out this weekend.

I need to get back to my CC01 and get into this a little more. Great build video Fil!

Great and interesting building video Fil. The car looks great. And yeah, Tamiya and LEDs're not the best friends. I had to order whites for the reverse lights. In the MFU-kit they're red. Colouts of thevwores didn't match wich the ones in the manual and so on.

That is sick 👌🏻

Paint job is awesome Fil!

She looks great fill, and just like the clod, it's a big rabbit hole to get in to 🤣

The colour choice is great! Nice build. Slap a HH Crawlmaster in there! 🤘😎🤘

That is a nice build Hop ups incoming will be cool to see What about Tamiya CA glue ? I just use some plastic glue if needed. I think TamiyaUSA said on SBG's livestream build of the CC-02 that you don't need glue, it's just so it don't fall out. About your complaint, Tamiya gives us a bit but if you want more you need to buy it. Like a drug dealer you know 😂

It looks great and I agree it is a bit more fiddly than a lot are but it is not difficult, just a little more time consuming which isn't terrible. I hope you picked up some driveshafts, the kit ones are too soft and will twist if it get bound up. Have fun with it!

This looks like a good build and I have some great jungle trails here in Malaysia that be perfect for a crawler. There some greats tips I'm going tk pick up a BBX I Japan in April but I may pock those up also or the new NSX it's going to be a tuff pick.

Bro. No joke. It’s is fiddly. I messed up few times. Really the entire build is easy. But hard. Especially for my first model and rc car I assembled. It was a learning curve. I have few things I need to redo. Like the mount hole for front shocks. The instructions says one hole but the shocks aren’t perpendicular to the ground. And I have the 4 link bars backwards. And it takes time to drive the screws in and out by hand. There is no great Philips screw driver that’s fits perfectly to use a small power tool. But I found one close enough. The chassis took me about two days 6 hours a day. The body. … bro….., I’m scared. I don’t want to messed it up. But I know painting it would be very meticulous. I’m still studying the best way to tape it up and trim and all that good stuff. But man it sure is super fun. Especially at my 39 year old ass. Welder and car nut. I had RTR nitros before. But assembling these model RC is way to F-ing cool man

They never have given the required amount of lights with the unit, does it still make the whining noise. Nice they include a roof rack with the body. Good the lower gear ratio, but why not a slower motor. I like the bigger tyres looks so much better and will grip over stock.

And bro. No. I also want more aux options and lights. Like strobes or some kind of off road recovery amber lights

Very nice !!👍. I just bought this one. It’s my first, never forget your first, I assemble it. But it’s just an empty roller. I have no idea what remote to get. Steering servo, the kit came with two electrical components. Guessing it the computer and idk. I just got it yesterday and I think im about done. Just need to build and paint body parts and what have you. Hit to get it ready. What do I need to get this ready to go?? Now I guess I could go into a hobby shot but I don’t feel like leaving and driving all the way the to Houston. But damn outstanding body. I was gonna go for silver and black cuz that is my truck scheme. No chrome my rims are black dish and silver spoke. So I’m gonna try to paint my yoda match scheme. Even tho I ordered some steelies with some BFG all terrains !!

Wish they made a 3rd gen Tacoma!

Very nice guy. love that Atari tee too.

Hi, is that a Tamiya Ford F350 highlift in the background, did you do any videos on that.

It does look sweet Fil. Does it come with bearings? Does it use hex hardware? Good choice on the 1080.

I built the CC02 Mercedes SUV. I enjoyed the build. I was very disappointed that Tamiya only had metal parts for the chassis in the front and in the rear. Why not a full metal chassis? I still have not seen an after market metal chassis. Not sure why? I also got lots of metal parts from GPM and Tamiya for my truck. The original tires for this kit are rock hard. I got Tamiya tires that were much softer and way better. I also installed a Holmes Hobbies 550 brushed motor to try to get some more torque. That motor is a tight fit, but it does fit. Thoughts?

Locked...or unlocked? Diff-icult decision.🤔

Great build Fil
