Is the CC 02 a real crawler?

[@MikeRCWorld]

Nice small crawler i think 👍🙂 looks cool on its off-road environment

[@Del350K4]

It really is nice - it has the good looks of its predecessor but actually gets along very well, though this example does have softer, grippier tyres than those that came with the kit.

[@RCtime]

Unimog looks great 💪💥 Nice crawling and video 🎥👍

[@Del350K4]

Thank you very much! I'm pretty much completely happy with this Unimog now.

[@gitarrenklang1]

The. Crawler Looks soooo good! And climbs very well! The lights give the right touch to that car. Good Video 😀

[@Del350K4]

Thank you very much, Franz. I hope you are having a good weekend! I love the look of these old Mercedes Unimog, and I agree that the lights are a good feature, helping to make the truck look like a real one.

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Nice! What a great place to drive it, too. The colours you've chosen work so well with the reddish rocks and dust. The mog looks great. Still seems to have a useful turn of speed as well 😎👍

[@Del350K4]

I love the reddish hue of the rocks in this area. It's reminiscent of cou tless Westerns that I saw as a kid. You're right, too; the colour looks great in this environment.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

This is definitely the most capable rig in your fleet now I would say yes it is a real crawler I see many great adventures in your future

[@Del350K4]

Hello, Brent! Yes, it out-crawls my 6WD truck, and it's right up there with my Ninco Boulder and Stone crawler! The CR-12 is awesome - 'perhaps I should do a crawl-off between the Unimog and the CR-12 some time.

[@satorrotas]

It was a great rock crawling, this unimog is very good, and certainly a great pleasure to drive. You did a very good job 👏 Excellent video 👍

[@Del350K4]

Thank you, Pascal - my wife was driving, but I have been driving it myself this evening, without recording, and it is now a very satisfying vehicle to drive : )

[@satorrotas]

@@Del350K4 It's a good little truck, and you'll have fun with it 😉👍

PERFECT VIDEO HAPPY NEW DAY

[@Del350K4]

Thank you! Have a great day!

[@Georgieframe]

Yeah, that´s a fine little rock crawler! I can hear the soft tyres gripping on the rocks, nice! Looks a little funny with the rapid reverse compared to the smoth forward action, but it obviously works well! Total success! 👍👍

[@Del350K4]

I have fantasised about buying it a proper crawler ESC to get rid of the rapid reverse and the need to pull the trigger twice to go forwards, but it's quite a lot to spend unnecessarily...

[@jdpaslRC]

Very nice location and trucks looks great!

[@Del350K4]

Thank you very much! I love this orange-coloured rock - it looks like a desert...

Bravo👍 Very impressive with your rock crawling skilled drive across the Mars terrain. Well done 😎

[@theoagrc]

That works really well Del! Awesome footage

[@Del350K4]

Thanks - I'm pretty much obliged to revise my opinion of the CC-02 and accept that it really can be configured as a half-decent crawler!

[@Pezzapoo]

Great job on that, tyres look scale still too

[@Del350K4]

Thank you - so many full-size 406s have aggressive tyres fitted that they do look reasonably scale - and they certainly make a huge difference to grip levels.

[@Pezzapoo]

@@Del350K4 I just picked one up from my local store with some Proline BF Goodrich tyres straight off the bat so thx for the great vids

[@Del350K4]

@@Pezzapoo The TBLE-04 isn't a very good crawler ESC. But everything else is great. I look forward to seeing your truck!

[@thecontractor365]

This is very impressive for a Tamiya and obviously down to those changes you made, especially the tyres. To me it's performing just like a typical Axial and they are pretty expensive. I did notice one of the advantages of weathering the shell too - it really doesn't matter if you roll or scrape it as any marks and scuffs just add to the weathering. No stress on that front. A cracking little vehicle in an epic location...🙂.

[@Del350K4]

Wow - I've never even driven an Axial, let alone owned one. I've seen one (behind glass) in an RC shop, but that's as close as I've ever got. Yes, a scruffy shell saves you worrying about tumbles and scrapes. When I had a full size Range Rover I just used to brush paint the scratches upon arrival at home from off roading each weekend.

[@rc-dom-uk]

just built a cc02 and stuck a 35 t in it . still quick because i got confused about the hearing options and ended up putting the fast one in i think 😂 anyway great run and video . looks fab mate 😊👍

[@Del350K4]

Did you use the Tamiya ESC? I found it hard to input subtle throttle commands, which is another way of saying that each time I touched the throttle the thing tore off like an Alarms Senton!

[@rc-dom-uk]

@@Del350K4 i’ve used hpi crawler esc and 35t motor . it’s quick compared to a standard crawler but alot better at low speed than the tamiya stock set up . also it has a drag break but wondering whether the gears will benefit from it 🤔

[@Del350K4]

@@rc-dom-uk Did you build it with both diffs locked? I thought it was a little odd that the instructions say you can only lock the rear, but they include the parts to lock both. I used an HPI crawler ESC, too. I don't understand why Tamiya supply such a wildly inappropriate ESC with this kit. And such dreadful tyres!

[@rc-dom-uk]

@@Del350K4 yeah locked diffs . the tires aren’t great tbh . i’m using tamiya tires which have great grips for trailing but not rock crawling. they have tamiya tire wall writing on which i’ve never seen so it was cosmetic over performance 😂

[@Del350K4]

@@rc-dom-uk The wheels are good looking, too, in my view. I put different tyres on my stock CC-02 wheels, then ended up using the tyres on a WL Toys-based leaf-sprung trail truck which I built more to look pretty than to tackle serious terrain ("You Can Build Unique Hard Bodies", it was called).

[@panzadeviborarc9613]

It's a desert-like region in the south of Spain, near my dad's holiday house there.

[@CarmineRC]

Looks good Del, I'd call that a Crawler!! Tamiya's best since the CR-01.

[@Del350K4]

Given tyres and a decent ESC , I reckon it's fair to call it a crawler!

[@chrischarlton3598]

This is beautiful! Would you mind aharing the size of the tires? Ive been off on a hunt and cant seem to find a proper fit for mine.

[@RC3DPrintAdventure]

Well if that's not a crawler now I don't know what is. That was a very good test & a successful outcome. Some nice low footage too. A really nice dry terrain to boot. I also have to say Del you do have the legs to carry off those stripy leggings too! 😆

[@Del350K4]

Ha ha! Yes, I must confess that I do have very shapely pins : ) We went back to the same spot where we drove it last weekend with the ESC set up conventionally and the ebony tyres. I love that orange hue that the earth and rocks get in the right light!
