Can you still buy any Tamiya cars with the CC-01? I know the Pajero is long gone but I thought the Touareg RTR was still available. I just checked Tower and they say discontinued.

there are a bunch in e-pay stores, looks like you can grab one up for about 150 bucks or less shipped

There is this real nice 72 chevy bodied Diaz chassis crawl-trail rig for 335 shipped to contributing RCMT members. You couldn't build it for that price. :)

Thanks for the link. I always forget to check ebay :bang

Is Tamiya going to release another xc/cc01 kit or RTR? They never keep them around for very long :(

probably
that link did have a buy-it-now but guess it goes away after a bid or two.

I figure come spring or summer we'll see either a TLT variation or a CC clone from Tamiya. Both had to do well enough to warrant another release or variation. The CC series has been around since the early 90's

Yeah somebody bid on that one you linked so the buy-it-now option went away. Oh well. I might bid :wnk I want a 1.9 rig and those are the cheapest way to do it...

well you could make your own chassis then use a wheely king and 1.9's. Even use the WK suspension and shorten the shocks by internal spacers.

It would be possible, not a whole lot of work really. I myself have a WK project that is about 90% done, just need to add body posts and reciever.

Ron painted a nice 4x4 chevy body for me, just haven't gotten around to finishing it.

its a shame they keep toying with my emotions about the xc chassis. i would like to think they are making another, i would hate to see a great scaler out of the box dissapear like that. i know this isnt the place, but send me a pm if your interested in an xc, i had one up for sale and it didnt sell.

as for the WK axles, they seem a bit too wide for a good 1.9 scale truck, i think there is nothing wrong with them for the 2.2 crowd, specialy not with the comps. but i get real picky when it comes to whats scale with 1.9's.

but get yoruself an xc, you wont be disapointed, i still think they are one of the best out the box trucks there is... and i would know, ive been in and out of about 20 this past year, still have about 6.
