LET’S BUILD IT! Tamiya Unimog CC-02 RC Mercedes Benz 406 Series U900 1/10th 4x4 Off-Road Truck 58692

Building the fantastic CC-02 4x4 chassis under the vintage-looking Unimog body, what more can you want from Tamiya with this latest kit release? A highly capable modern trail truck with a stunning scale vintage body and distinctive red wheel hubs make this RC really stand out from the crowd. Let's make a start and build the 4x4 chassis.

I love my CC02, with a Tamiya Jeep Wrangler body on it

[@robertlongley9153]

Good build nice information on Hop-ups

[@midwestboss8808]

Let's start a Unimog racing class! LOL 👍😁🤣

[@JeepsCafe]

That is a fantastic kit, absolutely fun to build.

[@darkstorm303]

Unboxing you mean not unbuilding 😝 great little build 👌

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep I noticed that. LOL

[@1Stunna2323]

I wish Tamiya would update their older re release kits and new kits to have battery trays that will accommodate regular sized 2s and 3s Lipo packs. It's such a pain to have to source a lipo pack from a company and not be able to use it in a Grasshopper chassis. Also, I wish they would include full ball bearings in all their kits (especially the high end ones).

[@RCKickschannel]

I have a 3S hard case that fits perfectly into the CC-02

[@TheTankRC]

Nice build, Lots of good information. Thanks

[@hovermotion]

Cool...never knew Tamiya made a uni mog...I have a few on rails 1/87 scale versions...

[@paulrobinson9355]

Great well made content!

[@irritablearchitect]

Love the build content, Gav!

[@leehurst6922]

When you said hey do what works for you, it sets off my Google assistant 😂

[@FullOnRC]

Awesome looking kit. I was surprised how good it is.

[@RCKickschannel]

It’s actually a good 4x4 chassis from Tamiya.

[@surendransuppiah]

Im building one soon. Waiting for my kit to arrive. Very informative video

[@MechanicallyFun]

Been waiting for this, love Unimog body and really like the cc02 chassis. Well built👍. CR01 next please, and when you are bored with it, change it to solid axle monster truck and share the build and idea please. Thank you

[@pabloa.5817]

Maestro!

[@gbraadnl]

0:43 unbuilding video? looked for it... but not available until after THIS video ;-)

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep coming soon lol

[@freddieflanders]

you should check out RC4WD they make some cool scale rc crawlers

[@robbryan3044]

Great video, and great vehicle...and, now I'm considering getting one. Regarding the diffs, there is always a third option, which is the direction I'd probably go - lock the rear, but keep the front 'open, albeit, with a super-high viscosity (say, 1M, or higher) diff fluid. However, before I order, I have some questions. First, regarding the trans, is there a metal gear option...and, if so, do you know the part number(s)? Second, I noticed you used the stock plastic links/trailing arms. Is there a metal (stainless steel?) option...and, again, if so, might you know the parts numbers? Finally, in addition to the 'Hop-Up' parts you mentioned in this video, are there any other Hop-Ups you'd say are "necessary/required"...and, are there any others that might not be "necessary/required", but that you might highly recommend? In building my second TT-02, I spent approximately two months accumulating Hop-Ups...so, obviously, I don't mind having to wait to start the build. For every kit I've built, while there are always certain upgrades that can be done "at a future point in time", there are always certain upgrades that really NEED to be done during the initial build. As such, I prefer to have as complete a list of 'upgrades' as possible, so as to determine which are absolutely required during the initial build, and which can be installed "at a later point in time". Anyway, keep up the fantastic job. I might be "on the other side of the pond", but I also know who to "tune into" for great RC-related info.

[@michaelqendro9825]

I preordered a Ford Escort rally car and Unimog and still waiting for both. :(

[@RCKickschannel]

I hope you get them soon Michael.

[@michaelqendro9825]

@@RCKickschannel Unimog Arriving tomorrow!

[@csquared7695]

I’m building the same Unimog but I’m having trouble find a steering servo. Does anyone have a name or a part number one the correct one? The space were the servo is only 47-49mm wide. Thank you.

[@surendransuppiah]

Does the cr01 85mm driveshafts fits for unimog cc02s short wheelbase setup? I heard there is another driveshaft specific for short wheelbase 75mm length.

[@RCKickschannel]

I would ask this in the CC-01 & CC-02 Facebook groups. Sorry I don’t know off the top of my head.

[@ButchersSlotcarJournal]

Is the wheelbase of the Unimog different then the Merc and would the Defender body fit om this chassis?

[@RCKickschannel]

I’m not sure as it goes. Yes you can mod a defender body for a CC-02 chassis

[@MousyTroopLeaderG]

It's a shorter CC02S.

[@MrJoffster]

Do those clamp hexes fit the hotshot as I could do with upgrading the standard ones 🤔

[@RCKickschannel]

No the Hotshot has a different wheel hub design

[@MrJoffster]

@@RCKickschannel of course it does I've just noticed that lol thanks anyway gavin

[@leehurst6922]

What were you supergluing Gav?

[@RCKickschannel]

The little square nut retaining blocks.

[@paulrobinson9355]

How many hours to build this kit not inc. the body?

[@RCKickschannel]

About 4-5 I guess. It’s hard to say as I’m filming at the same time so loads of stop start stuff.

[@Nick-Antoniou]

No sticker on the motor 😲

[@RCKickschannel]

Nope nothing

[@malekrcgaming2432]

Building this kit without a bearing set should be outlawed

[@mattyp80]

Do not understand why you'd go to the trouble of completely building or indeed upgrading parts if it's going to sit on a shelf?!

[@RCKickschannel]

Some people like to upgrade a kit even if it’s not being used that much. Some people like to collect RC cars in boxes and never build them. It’s all down to what makes you happy and personal taste.
