Tamiya CC02 Chassis Build Guide + Tips Part 2 Steps 14 to 24

[@RCBirds]

This is the most painful step in the build. Great job Mark

[@MarkBryanRC]

Very true, Dirk, you know your Tamiyas my friend! It's lovely to build all the same! Take care mate! 😎👊👊

[@AddamsPlayground]

As always, a wonderful build guide segment Mark!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thank you kindly, Addam! This is a lovely kit to build as you know! All the best!

Hi mate, what I took from this informative video was the advice you gave, when you mentioned - "don't over tighten these screws, don't go crazy...." This really is invaluable advice because the obvious temptation would be to keep going as long as the screw rotates, but as you point out this is wrong. Also coming from a veteran builder like yourself, we know the advice is sound and we're safe to follow it. Top stuff as always man, hope you had a relaxed weekend.. 🙂👍🏻.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Many thanks dude, yes my weekend was pretty good! I'm chuffed you found the video informative and have faith in my instructions - obviously I do get things wrong occasionally but that's how we learn. Case in point - I did overdo one of those screws and then backed it out as soon as I realised. Hence the warning about it in the video - live and learn my friend! Hope all is going well your end pal! 😎👊👍

[@catcancrunch7260]

Thanks for your upload mate looking good so far 👍🙏🐱

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks as always for the comment and for watching, my friend Cat! Cheers dude! 🍻😎🤝👍

[@gogotrololo]

I like your build guides, not sure how you can make Tamiya instructions enjoyable to watch someone else follow lol

[@MarkBryanRC]

Great to hear pal! Haha yeah it can get a bit tedious following a Tamiya manual! Cheers! 😅👍

[@gogotrololo]

@@MarkBryanRC yet I'm looking forward to the next one :) I think if I ever have an issue with instructions, I'm coming straight to your build series 😀

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@gogotrololo Awesome! Have a great week ahead! 😎👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya mate. Very nice guide as ever. Does look like a nice solid high quality kit this. These are reasonably expensive but probably worth the cash do you reckon? Hope you are doing ok mate. Sending best wishes to you and yours 👍👍👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Pete! Thanks mate, it's certainly a lovely kit to build and the quality feels excellent, like the XV01 type plastics. It is a higher end kit but for the price I think it should have bearings and steel propshafts, the plastic ones seem a bit flimsy for the amount of torque that will be going through them! Cheers mate and best wishes to you too! 😎🙏👍

[@BasBoyRC]

Looking good, you would think on the price of these kits they would start to use metal balls.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Mal, yep, this is a pricey kit and should come with the ball bearings and metal pivot balls! Take care pal!

[@rivierarc]

I think its a good kit that. My first one is open front and locked rear but am doing both locked with the next one once it starts getting built 😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

It sure is a good kit, Glenn, I'm really enjoying it! I will eventually slow this truck down and lock the front diff too, but Rob and me are going to race them first!!! Haha! Cheers mate!

[@rivierarc]

@@MarkBryanRC haha, excellent. Can't wait to see that. Hopefully you've definitely done the higher speed gear option. I do enjoy driving mine but really need to build the other one.... once time allows 😜

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Another excellent instalment in the CC-02 build, looking forward to part 3!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Many thanks Barry! It's a fiddly but fun build that's for sure! Cheers! 🍻😎👍

[@alastairmulholland2581]

Your build videos are the best on youtube always explain everything very well.Why have you not done a running video of your hotshot yet as i was looking forward to it.Anyway keep up the good work.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Many thanks for the kind words, Alastair. This is a lovely kit to put together and a bit more involved than most Tamias. Ah yes, the Hotshot first run - I've been having a hard time lately my friend, family and health issues slowing my output down, but I will get around to that video, needs a lot of preparation to do a good job of it though! Cheers!

[@alastairmulholland2581]

It blows my mind how you have the patience to do this. Keep up the good work 👍take care Mark 😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

Always great to see you in the comments, Kim! Ah well, as you know I've got plenty of time to spend on these little toy cars! Thanks, you take care too! 😁👍

[@HaydadRC]

Excellent installment in the build guide Mark; great tips sprinkled in along the way!👍😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thank muchly, Jeremy! This build is keeping me busy and it's great because there are a lot of points to talk about as the build progresses. Best to you my friend! 😎👊👍

[@poorboysrc]

It's coming together nicely, Mark. The CC02 is such a great rig! (Except the stock tires, they're terrible!!!).

[@MarkBryanRC]

Cheers my man! You know this is a fiddly but fun rig to build! I will use the stock tyres first just to experience how shocking they are! 😅🤝🤘

[@RCJunky]

Another great video Mark. Build is coming on well.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks a ton mate! This is a pleasure to put together, I'm loving it. Sorry it's taking a while, I've has a few life problems lately! Cheers!👍

[@alantaylor353]

Hey Mark.. My XV-01 came today, I didn't realise it's actually the Pro version with all the hop ups, I thought he'd added them himself. I can't believe the bargain I've got, it's got a Hobbywing 10bl120 sensored ESC & a Reedy Sonic 7.5t motor.. That's £95 for the motor & £45 for the ESC alone.. It's also got a Futaba BLS551 servo, they're around £100.!!! Used they're £60.!! I've never paid more than £20 for a bloody servo mate.! 😂 😂 I usually pay about the same for motors.!! (usually surpass) Anyways, I've just had it out for a run & OH MY WORD.!!! 🤯 😲 🤯 😁😁👍👍 What a special special RC car it is.!! It's sublime, what an amazing experience.! Once again Mark, THANK YOU.! Without your & a couple of other Tamiya focused channels I might never have taken a plunge in the Tamiya pool.. I'm so very glad I did.! Oh.. The best part, it was on Ebay for £200.. I went away to think about it & when I looked again he'd reduced it to £180.!!! It honestly boggles my mind how someone can spend around £500 to build an RC, only use it ONCE & then sell it for a fraction of the price.! I've seen XV-01 Pros with similar specs sell for over £400.!!.. I'm definitely keeping this one though.! 😉 😉 Please stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Alan and great to read you again! Wow what a bargain the XV01 turned out to be, you lucky chap! That's one hell of a setup it came with. But the best bit to read was how chuffed you are with the driving experience, but then I just knew you'd love it! I'm really pleased for you and also pleased that I was maybe a small part of your new Tamiya journey. Oh yes, this rally car is definitely a keeper! I hope you get many years of enjoyment from it. Stay safe too mate and all the best from this Tamiya fan in the Midlands! 😎🙏🦫👌🏁👍

[@madsrcbuggy]

You're definitely making your way through the genres in Tamiya build experience, Mark! Looks great, even the weird quirky stuff! It might not be an SCX10 or something fancy, but I do believe the CC-02 is a capable trailtruck/crawler! I would probably lock front diff also, but can always be done later, he he... I'm still on hold with my own CC-02 project, just too much other stuff to do, he he...

[@MarkBryanRC]

Oh yes Mads, definitely going through the Tamiya genres, and good fun it is to experience the different qualities of each kit. This does go together nicely and has some quirks as you say, but it all kinda makes sense! I think it will be quite capable out on the trails, too. Plenty of time for your own CC02 project mate, just don't leave it until you are a pensioner like me!!! 😅👊👍

[@outbackrcaustralia4895]

G'day Cobber😁👩, That's such a quality looking kit, the diffs look nice too👌. Thanks for sharing your fully detailed build mate👍. Sheila says g'day from me and it's a big g'day from me too🤠👧🦘🇦🇺

[@MarkBryanRC]

G'day me Cobber and Mukka! Thanks for watching as always and the kind comments. Send love to Sheila and hope you two are having a smashing day down under! 😎👌🦫🤘👍

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

I always admire how much of a great job you make of these build videos buddy..... It's so hard (and time consuming) filming in such detail and building at the same time! Great advice about not screwing too hard, and always using plenty of lube! 😂 Interesting looking kit fella, looks like an enjoyable build! Hope all's well your end matey. 🍻 👍 👍 👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

Oh yes buddy, these build videos are bloody hard work - filming is bas enough trying to get everything right and in shot, but the editing is a nightmare! 😖 But the build itself is very enjoyable, this kit is growing on me! You know me pal, gotta get a few screwing tips in!!! Cheers for the comments as always mate!!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks brother, yeah it's taking a while to get this done with all that's been going on - I'll get there though! Did I forget to grease my nuts?!?!?! 😅👌🤘

[@aviano72]

Hi, So a locked diff in the back and open in front ? Always a great build guide 👍👍 Well that was an interesting F1 race, not what i had in mind when it started 🤦‍♀ G. Russell managed to hold on to win on his worn out tyres. It looks like Red Bulls already miss Adrian Newey 😮

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Are, yes mate, locked rear and open front as it says in the manual for "slippery conditions"!!! 😅 Oh yes the F1, same here, not as expected! Fair play to George though. Hmmm... yep with Adrian gone things are looking very different at RBR, aren't they? All the best! 😎👍

[@ludovicdubois6449]

Bonjour, j’ai trouvé ce que je cherchais !!! maintenant comment choisir entre bloquer le différentiel avant ou arrière ?? merci Mark

[@MarkBryanRC]

Bonjour! Good that you found what you wanted! I locked the rear diff and left the front open. It drives very well and steers quickly due to the open front diff. However, if you want to try slow crawling on very loose or slippery surfaces, the front wheels will lose traction. When even 1 wheel starts to spin the truck will get stuck. By locking the front and rear diffs the truck will be much more capable in loose and slippery terrain but steering is reduced and the front transmission is subjected to much higher loads and will wear out faster. It's a trade-off really. The best way to choose which diff to lock or leave open is to try it and see! Have fun! C'est bien que tu aies trouvé ce que tu voulais ! J'ai verrouillé le différentiel arrière et laissé l'avant ouvert. Il roule très bien et se dirige rapidement grâce au différentiel avant ouvert. Cependant, si vous souhaitez essayer de ramper lentement sur des surfaces très meubles ou glissantes, les roues avant perdront de la traction. Dès qu’une seule roue commence à patiner, le camion reste bloqué. En verrouillant les différentiels avant et arrière, le camion sera beaucoup plus performant sur des terrains meubles et glissants, mais la direction est réduite et la transmission avant est soumise à des charges beaucoup plus élevées et s'usera plus rapidement. C'est vraiment un compromis. La meilleure façon de choisir quel différentiel verrouiller ou laisser ouvert est de l’essayer et de voir ! Amusez-vous!
