Tamiya CC-01 Landrover Defender 90 on its first Adventure

[@Nordmann61]

Good old but forever young at heart CC-01 chassis, next year it can celebrate its 25 year anniversary if I am not mistaken, and it is still one of the best choices for those who want a trail or cross-contry truck. The aftermarket items you can buy to modify the CC-01 chassis, or personalize it for your use or taste is almost endless. When Tamiya also make the best lexan bodies the result must be good, making it one of the best buys in its segment. And as we see demonstrated in this video, when its expertly built, painted and decorated, it looks like the real thing when shot by the best rc video maker on KZbin. Cheers.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much Nordmann for this awesome comment! 🙏😊

[@deusexaethera]

Eh...Matteo did a great job with this build, but to really fix all the problems with the CC-01 chassis you'd have to completely replace it. No amount of bolt-on upgrades can fix the weak non-reinforced ABS plastic chassis that cracks over time just sitting on the shelf.

[@GeorgeChaidaris]

Well said. Any proven ideas on how would someone make the body look sturdier, not twisting and trembling - especially in between front and rear wheels - unrealistically when moving on the trail?

[@mojaverc1585]

George Chaidaris reinforce the thing with tons of shoo goo drywall plaster and gorilla tape and secure it to the chassis on many different places on the chassis

[@scalebuildersguild]

Always so enjoyable to watch one of your videos Matteo! Another great place to play!

[@Matteomeier]

Always great to get a feedback from you Matt! 😊 Thanks! 🙏

[@NordicRC]

Beautiful video! I loved you took a minute with a tour of the model. And returned to the night footage. You are a master, my Southern friend! Thanks for 4+ enjoyable Tamiya minutes.

[@Matteomeier]

Always a big pleasure to get so good comments from the north! Thank you! 😊

[@stuartroberts9993]

You've done it again Matteo! Now the weather here in Melbourne, Australia is warming up you are inspiring me to take out my CC01 brothers, a Land Cruiser & a Bronco :)

[@Matteomeier]

This is good! 👍 Have fun! 😊 Thanks for your feedback!

[@redbones01]

great footage as always! now all we need is a CC-02. come on Tamiya.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you!

Defender 90 from Tamiya! That is pleasing. the body looks like very correct shape.

[@Matteomeier]

Yes! Thanks! 👍🇯🇵

[@RackwitzG]

Nice model and movie. You are lucky to have such a beautiful landscape to drive in.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Yes, thats true! 👍😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

Such a beautiful video, Matteo! The Defender looks fantastic in green, and I particularly like the footage when the sun is going down and the LED lights are shining brightly - awesome! :-)

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much Mark! 🙏😊

[@Skovsnegl]

Wow Matteo, great job on the video, superb video quality and catchy soundtrack as well some action with water and the evening shot - Perfect!

Thanks Mike. Yes, I think so! 👍😊

This truck looks like a new full size truck. Just pulled off the new car lot. That does it, I'm going crawling now!!!

Yes, it's directly from the factory! Thanks Brian! 😊

[@toisaa]

Why can you love CC-01 so much? And why do I love your videos so much?

[@1darnright19]

Very nice way to showcase the new CC01 defender body. I wonder if it is the same size as the RC4WD defender hardbody?

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! I have no RC4WD Defender, but I'll make a size comparison with my Traxxas TRX-4 Defender.

[@mignav464]

Hi Matteo, fantastic stuff! Quick question, how did you get the suspension to be so (apparently) soft? Many thanks

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! I used the softest oil in the dampers and add a bit of weight to the chassis. 👍

[@pinkze]

pinkze he say " nothing fancy- just fantastic ! Matteo- the 'Defender' of rc excellence "

[@Matteomeier]

Matteo say again thanks to Pinkze! 😊

[@awe_rc8380]

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 🙏😊

[@awe_rc8380]

Matteo's RC Movies of course man!

[@shouryliu2916]

Hello matteo,I see you have many videos about the CC01 chassis, me myself have been playing it for two years,and I noticed some defect of it,guess you must know them too,like the easy worn out of aluminum pinion gear and contact between rear shocks and rear axle.I replaced the stock pinion by a M06 steel pinion from MST,could you tell us your method dealing with these problems?cause I see many of your CC01s are still in original look.BTW,thanks a lot for those great RC movies!

[@Matteomeier]

Aluminum pinions are fast worn out in every car. It's a good solution with the steel pinion. Maybe you have to change some worn out parts on the rear suspension, ball heads and links. Every usage produces some wear. Or you install better parts, as here shown: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6WUaqJjotuWgJo

[@shouryliu2916]

Thanks Matteo! the aluminum pinion works pretty well in WR02's gearbox, that made me think the problem should come from CC01's gearbox.

[@TheRCScotsman]

That looks fantastic and is that James May in the driver seat?

[@Matteomeier]

😂 Yes, you recognized him! Can you imagine how expensive it was to engage him? 😂👍

[@TheRCScotsman]

Totally worth it!

[@leoniade]

amazing video and truck! Has this model metal gears, axle and drive shaft?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks. The model have plastic gears and axle. The drive shaft is made of steel.

[@lesleyrcfun]

Yes, Yes... very very nicely done. I was waiting for this movie. Always a joy to watch. Tnx Matteo!!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your nice feedback! 👍😊

[@skagerstrom]

Great video as always Matteo! Are those tires narrower than the standard ones that come with for example the Pajero?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Roger! No, it's exactly the same.

[@rcfanaticd.garcia6393]

Un gran video. Y como siempre, Tamiya ha hecho un excelente trabajo.

[@Matteomeier]

Gracias!

[@SkansmanRC]

Good looking Defender, nice trail and video.. 😊👍

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Skansman! 🙏

[@james7235]

Fantastic video Matteo. I have just build the cc01 defender myself but it the weather here in Ireland is horrible so I am yet to get my 1st proper run in my 1st rock crawler. Can I ask, does the sand not damage anything? Same with the water....is esc and electrics waterproof? Again awesome video and you have done a fantastic job on the shell.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Sand is not a big problem, but water destroy the electronics. But the water depth in the video is not so much, so the electronics are not in contact with water. If you like to go deeper you have to make the electronics waterproof: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIHYq2qDndx9otk

[@james7235]

Thanks for advice. Seeing the water made me cringe tbh,....so I'll skip that. Look forward to sand in Summer thou, well looking forward to summer either way! Thank u, merry Christmas

[@theow77]

Where did you put your Light Box? (The TLU-01)

@@Matteomeier Schade....Dabei bieten Tamiya Modelle ja häufig die Vorbereitung für eine komplett funktionsfähige Lichtanlage. 🙁☹️

[@PhilipBrown1967]

Good videos I've watched quite a few now, I've got the cc01 but never locked the diff, but found it struggled on some places I go. I've now locked the rear diff, but it doesn't come with anything to lock the front one would it make much difference to lock the front and have you any tips to lock it, I thought you could may be put one of the diff gears inbetween the other two what do you think cheers

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Yes, this works with one diff gear between the two others. Or you put in some two component epoxy putty.

[@BasBoyRC]

Looks nice in proper Landrover colours, but the wheels are not right.

[@gianmamontanari6164]

I think are perfect...like the real ones

[@Matteomeier]

Maybe, but the wheels are also on real cars very easy changeable...😊😊

[@Darren.n.RCvids]

cool, i will get one of theses at some time in the future.

[@jf1124]

Hi Matteo, I just bought a Tamiya D90 body for my CC02 chassis. There are decals for the black bumpers and wheel arches, but it looks like they can be painted black as well. Would you recommend these parts to be painted black?

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, of course, it's much more resistant when painted. Neds a bit of masking but it's not a big deal. I think I painted mine too.

[@trevorbeattie6996]

Simply stunning video sir, silly question, how best to secure the figure in the cab?

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! I glued it on a aluminum sheet and fixed it with tape in the body, better to remove. Here you can see it at 8.00: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmasf52Ke7OKhqs

[@alfredconqueror4422]

30 seconds into the video and I'm already thinking about scraping that paint

[@Matteomeier]

It should get scratches automaticlly after some usage...

[@ExperienceRC]

Amazing production. May I ask how you film? I struggle with the moving shots on my own. I appreciate your help. Thanks man 👍👌🏻

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! It's not a big secret. I have the camera on a stick and hold it down. It's really that simple.

[@ExperienceRC]

Matteo's RC Movies thank you, I have tried with my GoPro but it’s very shakey. I’ll keep trying. Thanks again. Look forward to future uploads 😀

[@nielsjuhr594]

If you find your videos are still shaky you should think about investing in a gimbal which would help eliminate some of that and in post production if you have something like and image stabilizer that would also help.

[@ExperienceRC]

Niels Juhr thanks man, I did buy the DJI Osmo 2 but it’s too hard on my own lol. Think I’m going to pick up the new GoPro as the stabilisation looks amazing. Thank you for the advise 👍

I have 3 CC-01s. Great little chassis but I wish Tamiya would do a little "Tamiya" magic and come out with a new, over engineered, uniquely strange trail truck design lol. Is that too much to ask for? Great video as always my friend.

[@Matteomeier]

I think you are not alone with this wish... 👍😊

[@JK-qv8sv]

A new CC-01 body? With light kit? Amazing! Imagine if Tamiya updated this chassis for the 25th anniversary.. I would buy a 3rd easily! I really like my pajero sport and isuzu mu alot ☺

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank! 😊

[@erikb1373]

Great video again, thanks. It's nice that Tamiya keeps adding body choices for the cc01. But I think they should do more hard bodies. Even though they add great detail to their pc bodies they always are to thin and floppy for my taste. A cc01 with the bruiser or blackfoot body would be nice....

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, I agree. Otherwise the hard plastic bodies are much more difficult in manufacturing and therfore more expensive also. And here on this model, better body post would eliminate the most of wobbling.

[@erikb1373]

And I just ordered one! :)
