Wonderful build, like the Blu and the matted black roof. The running video in the wood going over those rocks and the roots sticking out of the ground, first tes went well. And the extra footage at the end I'm still laughing. 💥💥💥✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️👍🤜🤛
It did really well, I am going to yank the transmission and stick the low speed gearing into as it is too fast for me out there and will give it some more guts when try to climb over things. While it is not truly a rock crawler truck it is mostly going to get driven out there and needs to be able to handle all that stuff! I am also sticking a Hobby Wing 1080 ESC in there for some drag brake. For a completely stock truck with a basic servo and esc it did very well, with some upgrades it will be great! I am glad you got a chuckle out of the ending, I am sure everyone can relate!
Thanks you! I am really happy with the way it looks and with a few mods and tweaks it will be a really great performer! I don't know how folks get such great action shots while driving, it was all i could to to drive, video and walk without falling on my rear the whole time I was out there!!! These guys with movie like footage of the trucks always in frame perfectly deserve a medal!!!
Thank you!! I am very happy with the way it looks! A few tweaks and upgrades and it should run as well as it looks. I will be working on those shortly!
Great color choice! 👍👍 After you mentioned having quite a few blue RC's, I looked around and realized almost half of my RC collection is painted in a shade of blue! 😁 🟦
Thanks! I think it is generally an appealing color for kits and one that looks great on many body styles. Blue, red and black seem to be my go to unless I am copying the box art paint schemes.
Thank you. I agree Tamiya nailed the body set on this one and it looks great all done up. With a few cheap upgrades and the trans rebuilt with the low range gearing I think it will be a great performer out there. It did surprisingly well with the generic cheap servo and the plain 1060 ESC so once those are upgraded it should really do well.
Hi there Addam, you’ve created a master piece and a good choice of colour, that blue and black colour combination is beautiful! A lot of work indeed. I hope you enjoyed building the CC-02 chassis. I’ve made a basic interior to the G500 of mine, it serves two purposes, the hiding of the internals, and allows you to attach the cabling for the lights to the lighting module, with only the power lead to worry about, when removing the body. Great video. Take care and best wishes wishes to you and the family 😁😉😊
Thank you John! I do want to do an interior of some sort, that I think will be a winter project. I a going to toss in a HW 1080 ESC, a 35kg servo and swap the trans gearing to low range. I think after all that it will do extremely well! It did surprise me how well it did with the setup it has now and will only get better with the planned upgrades!!
Thank you!! I am very happy with the looks and with a few cheap upgrades and tweaks I think it is going to be a very great running truck as well. It did very well as is but with a few tweaks it will be unstoppable!
@@AddamsPlayground As you talked about the lights I had a little deja vu. I might be wrong, but I think it's a standard light electronic. And this was buildet into the Amewi RTR Oshkosh truck. Maybe using another slot might improve the function of the rear lights.
@@RCBirds the stock light kit is just always on lights front and rear from what I could tell. I put in a cheap aftermarket kit and it works well enough. I may try and tinker with it again when I do the mods I have planned soon.
The Blue was a GREAT choice, Addam!!! 👌 Looked great rolling over the rocks. Makes me really want to build mine... Its two kits down the line. It really does look great!
Beautiful rig.!! I'm a blue fan too...lol. I have the CC-02 Unimog to build in the future. I didn't even know that Tamiya had this Bronco in their lineup. I love how you finished this one up. The tiny details you added and left off really made this Bronco totally yours. Well done sir.!
Thank you!!! The blue really sparkles in the sun but looks great in the shade as well. They did a tremendous job in capturing a lot of body details I the molding of it and makes it look that much better once painted! With a few upgrades and tweaks it will be a very good performer as well. It is did well for the setup it has but will be even better with some inexpensive upgrades and the low range gearing.
Thanks, I wanted something not typically seen as far as the color goes. There seems to only like 4 or 5 colors being produced in RTRs and I was not a fan of the light blue on the box images so just dug into the paints and picked one I thought would turn out well. I was going to go with a gun metal but thought is would clash with the black roof and fenders so I stuck with something safer!
The truck looks great. You did an excellent job. That blue color is one of favorites and it looks good on that body. It performed well. You should be proud of your work. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I am happy with the looks of it and I think with a few upgrades and the gearing change it will do very well out there. I will always be my worst critic but this one looks great. I do plan on an interior but that will be a winter project!
Thanks! I don't like the lower tier versions at all but the upper tier versions of it I like a lot. The color on the box was too light for my taste and I wanted to paint it in a color that was not one that all the RTRs came out in so this was a nice change of pace from those options. I like the blue with the gray wheels!
Thank you! I am super happy with the way it turned out! I do have plans for some minor upgrades and swapping the gearing in the trans to the low range and I think it will be a super great truck!
Thanks Rich! Build it with low range gearing, the high range is too high for good trailing. You'd have to run behind it at full speed!! Low range gears, a decent servo, a 1080 and decent speed crawler motor and it is a great little truck. This had a super cheap 4 for $20 servo in it so it did fairly well for the running gear!
Thank you! I am very happy with the color and finish of the body! It is a really nicely done body set and makes the build look great! Some tweaks and upgrades and I think this is going to be a rather capable truck!
Looks good. That blue is sharp. You’ll never find that body clip, unless you are bare foot and then you’ll find it along with a random Lego part. Good stuff Addam.
Thank you!!! It turned out looking really good and I think with some inexpensive upgrades and the gearing change in the trans it'll be a great truck out there. I did find the body clip, it took a good bounce off of a clod buster tire and ended up in plain site so luck was on my side! I id fling an e-clip into another dimension the other day so not all oft hem take lucky bounces! (and no, I wasn't using the good e-clip tool either, old habits die hard!!)
Thanks! I am super excited for the looks. I am gonna stick the HW 1080 in there for some drag brake and swap the weak cheapy servo for a 35kg one and also change the trans gearing to the low range. I think with all that it will really do well out there. It is not sold as a crawler but handled itself well though!! I should get those upgrades done soon and be back out with it shortly
You nailed it! What a beauty! I agree the color looks outstanding. The amount of detail/time to do both inside and outside painting is really worth it. Cheers!👍👍
Thank you very much! The painting process was the lengthiest part of the but but really make sit look fantastic! I really did not want to rush any of it and it think it trued out great and it drove really well for being in high range and running a basic esc and servo. Some upgrades and changing to the low range gears and I think it will do really well!!
Thanks, it came out nice and did well for the first run. I do plan on switching it to the low range gears, adding the 1080 ESC and replacing the cheapy basic servo with a high torque one and I think it will do very well!
Bro the paint job on that is stunning you've done an incredible job that is an absolute credit to you ...... I understand the wiring problem inside my bronco looks like a bowl of spaghetti great video subbed 👊
Well thank you very much! I am very happy with the look of it! A few tweaks and upgrades and it'll be a great little trail truck. Th light kit wiring is a mess and I need to tame that for sure! I have some wire loom to use but need to add length to them first t make it easier to get the body on and off.
Thank you! I am pleased wit the way it turned out! I just need to do some cheap upgrades and it should be a really great performing truck although it did surprisingly well as is.
Thank you! I think it would look great with one in there as well. I need to look around for possible candidates for one or make one. I think that will be an over the winter project I can tinker on in between other things as I think it is going to take some time!
Thanks! I was originally going to do it in a dark gun metal but thought it would not look right with the black roof and trim so at the last minute I changed my mind and went with the blue. I am glad it did!!
The tires and wheels are way better than stock. They look great but also offer some more weight down low and the tires are light years ahead of those Tonka toy tires it came with! I plan on Sticking the low speed gearing in the trans and giving it a HW 1080 ESC and a 35kg servo so it will really do a lot better with that setup for the area I have out there!
Thank you! Yeah not a crawler but it did very well out on the rocks with a generic 4 for $20 servo in there and a basic ESC with no drag brake and the transmission built with the high range gears. With some upgrades and the gear change I think it will be a really good performer out there!
Thanks! I was originally going to go with a dark gun metal but decided it was going to be to dark with the black roof and accents all over so grabbed the blue and I am happy I did!
Thank Craig, I was not a big fan of the color they chose to paint it on the box and I wanted to stay away from colors that have been done on the various RTRs released. I am very happy with the way it turned out and it came back with very little scratching on it from the first run so I think it will hold up nicely as well!
Thank you!! It needs some tweaks but it did very well. I didn't even think to mention it did all that with a basic 4 for $20 servo off of Amazon. I wanted to see how well it would do and surprisingly enough it did well. it is getting a 35kg servo in there as part of the upgrades. I plan on making a separate video on those upcoming soon as well.
Thank you!! It did surprisingly well out there considering I built it in the higher speed gearing, it had a completely generic cheapy servo and the 1060 is not a great ESC for this type of stuff. I will be doing the upgrades to it soon to add a 1080, a 35kg servo and changing the trans gearing to sow speed. I think it will be super fun and perform very well after that!!
That looks sick bro great choice of colors and awesome paint work. I like the look of just the roof rails without the rack too my lil scx 24 is the same way... Very nice!
Thanks!! It turned out really nice looking! I am planning on sticking a HW1080 ESC in there, a 35kg servo and swapping the gearing to low range. I think it will be a really awesome truck after that. It drove surprisingly well for being basic stock but after the upgrades it should do way better
lt Looks absolutely fantastic Addam, i totally agree with you on the tires and electronics, stock tires work fine if you just run it on a plane gravel road or so and putting a high torque servo and like a 1080 in there will make it a real nice trail truck that actually can do some descent crawling too. Nice job
Thank you! I think with kicking the gearing in the trans to the low range and the ESC and servo upgrades it will perform really well. It surprised me for tis run so more grunt all the way around and a brag brake I think it will go most wherever I want it to! I am still frustrated about those kit tires... they are just terrible and belong on a kids toy!
Thanks! I was not a big fan of the box art color and had initially planned on doing it in gun metal but when I sat down with it I thought it may be too much with the dark gun metal body and the black roof, fenders and trim. I think the blue was a good choice and not one of the common colors you see them in all the other releases of this body style. The light kit is not the best but it does at least change some. You have to give it a decent amount of throttle for them to realize you are on the gas and go out. I wanted some dynamic lighting on it and this better than the always on lights it came with. I think I got the light kit off of amazon like a year ago for ago $13 so not as performance driving as other light kits out there for sure but does give it a little something. To be completely honest I don't really ay attention to them when driving much. I notice them from time of time but I am focuses on the body position and the tires more than anything!
Fantastic!. The color is perfect and mat black gives the touch. May be some interiors also only a plastic lightly folded to hide the frame and wiring. Ciao Nanni
Thank you! I do have plans to work on an interior for it. That will probably be a winter project. I am not sure I am going to try and scratch build it or tray and find a Lexan interior tray I use. I'd like to keep it as light as possible.
@@AddamsPlayground From scratch is amazing! You need Plasticard Evergreen (you know'?) and plastic glue The one from Faller with the pin tube is perfect Than you van cut, fold and do everything you want. It gives satisfaction. But I'm speaking wit a master of mods.Ciao!
@@NANNIRC LOL, thank you! I learned a lot from your interior build for the NSU so I think I have enough confidence to try and fabricate something from scratch!
Just take you time on the painting and I am sure it will turn out awesome!! I think I spent way more time on the painting process than the building process!
Thank you!! A nice brushless setup would be nice but the price increase for it is so much more. I am still stuck in the old school brushed motor days! I like brushless but for one brushless setup I can get two brushed ones. If this was going to be "the" truck I ran all the time maybe but since this will be a once in a while truck it doesn't justify the budget for one. I have thought of putting on of the brushless setups in the SCX10 I built not too long ago as that is my favorite trail truck/crawler at the moment!
I got a D-90 (emerald metallic) green CC-02. Have a Red D-500 CC-02. Thinking about a Bronco but like the Unimog too. Bronco has a 1060 Umimog has old style ecs. Good looking Bronco like the color never too many Blue R/Cs.
I like the Unimog as well but when the released images of this at the beginning of the year I immediately went and pre-order it! I am glad I did as the body on this is so well done!! I am sticking the 1080 esc in there to be able to program in some drag brake. I don't want full rock crawler, hold it on a hill all day amounts but I would like some to be able to slow the descent down things easier then trying to feather it in reverse. I also need to yank the transmission in put in the low range gearing. The high range is too much for how I am going to drive it. Thanks for watching and for checking in!!!
Awesome Addam! I love my cc02, such a big step up from the cc01. I dont know what they are thinking with the tires, especially with my unimog kit, Its like they are bad on purpose.
Thank you! It is a really nice kit and I did not like the generic shocks but they did seem to work rather well out there. The tires I feel like they should feel ashamed for producing! The only thing they may be good for is for being on display and not caring if they get flat spots in them (I doubt they would though, they are too hard!) or you could use them as corner markers for a temporary track!!! The wheels look nice, I will likely use them for something.
Excellent finish work as usual! Which gear set did you install in the transmission? Do you find the springs really stiff? I finished building my Bronco chassis last weekend and this weekend will be painting the body shell...hopefully! The shocks were not as bad as I was expecting. The verdict on the spring rates is still being debated internally. They seem too stiff to me... Anyway, awesome build! Thanks for sharing.
I used the high gear and it is too fast for my taste. It do pretty well over all with it being in high gear out on the rocks and I think the Holmes Hobbies motor helped with that. I do want to put a 1080 ESC in there to give it some drag brake mostly for holding power trying to go forward and rolling back is not something I like. The suspension worked rather well to be honest. Spring may be a tiny bit on the stiff side but that should help once I add an interior.
It is a great looking truck they really nailed the looks of this one!!! It did very good out on the rocks (I don't suggest taking it out on stuff like that too often!) and would be a great trail truck to run around looking good and it is very photogenic!!
Looks sharp! It runs very good I think you have the high speed set up in if I can recall I think you should put the low ratio in it this is a nice running truck it worked a lot better than I thought it would when I first ran mine.
Thanks Steve! I did build with the high range and it is going to get the low gearing put in. I am also going to add the HW 1080 ESC in there for some drag brake and a better low end control and also going to replace the generic 4 for $20 servo I used and stick in one of the 35kg servos. I think with that setup it will do extremely well out there. It surprised me on how well it did with the setup it has now so I know it will do very well after the changes!
@@AddamsPlayground Yep I was shocked how well mine went after I drove it the first time. Do my LCG battery mod it makes it work even better! My Video- Tamiya CC02 BEST MODS
Looks great Addam! Love the blue. Do you know if it can be geared like a true crawler? Can’t really tell in the video but I’d love if you could set it up with a really low gear ratio so you could really crawl with it.
I do hope to get it up on the bench tomorrow to get the trans pulled and put the low range gearing in it. While I am in there I will be taking the 1060 esc and swapping it with the the 1080 ESC to give it some drag brake and better low end control. Also I will be swapping out the very basic low torque servo ( one of my cheap4 for $20 ones) and replacing it with a 35kg one I have. I think with all that it should drive exceptionally well!! It did really well completely stock but suffered a little from the higher gearing and weak servo. I am sticking the 1080 in as I have one already and I prefer the drag brake and being able to tune out the motor whine with the program box if needed.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I will have to go out and test fit them. I assume they would, the only limiting factor may be the stub axle length. I will try it out and let you know. It would certainly look interesting with them on there! It would give it some more ground clearance too.
@@Charlvdwalt073 I went out and checked and the stock wheels and tires from the CC02 will bolt right onto the TT02B. It only gives it maybe a 1/4 inch extra ground clearance though but they do bolt right on!
I am going to keep them with the stock wheels if I decide to do something different with it. I also thought of using them for another project down the road.
LOL, good question... I am sitting here trying to remember but I cannot! I will check when I head out to the garage later and let you know for sure. I am pretty sure I went with PS16 as I knew I was going to back it with black but I am not 100% Kind of the problem of not planning everything out! I was originally going to go with a gun metal but thought is would clash with the black roof and fenders so I stuck with something safer like the blue! I will respond back this afternoon with the proper answer
It was the PS16 and then backed with black. So not as bright as it could be but brighter the 59 would have been. Sorry for the delay I got side tracked a lot yesterday
I carefully cut off the overspray film from the outside for the fender and the roof section and painted it the with the PS5 Black. You need to mask off the windows by hand on the outside to match the masking on the inside. You also need to make sure the overspray fil does not lift when you are peeling up the fenders and roof area. If it peels up it will not stick back down and you will have to peel it all off and mask it out by hand. I had already painted the fender black underneath the body in those areas to make sure if the paint on the outside gets scratch the body color does not come through. It is a lot more work doing it this way but it looks great. If you wanted to you could use the PS Matt clear on the outside instead of the black but it is the same amount of work so I just used the rest of the can of black I was already using!
So I didn't see a community post that you aren't going to have a video Wednesday night and I didn't see one for Saturday night should I be getting notifications for them or do I just have to go to my homepage and scroll for them
Honestly I am not sure how they work. I think if you have clicked the notifications bell it should alert to anything new. I wish there was a better way to let you all know other than making a video to tell you there is no video. I will get one done today and get it edited for tomorrow. I started a big remodel of our bathroom and it has taken more of my time than I expected. The older I get the more time these things seem to take! LOL!
I’m curious why Traxxas chose to use the 4 door version. In my opinion the 2 door is way better looking. I have the blue TRX Bronco & the color is almost exactly the same. I just got the new Chevy TRX truck but to be honest the TRX Bronco is the least used RC out of all my Crawlers. I actually started to think about selling it but it’s probably better to keep it. What electronics did you use?
I think Traxxas went with the 4 door to make the wheelbase the "standard" size so the 2 door may have looked off on there scale wise. This one has a much shorter wheelbase compared to the others. I really like my TRX4 sport, it does really well but also doesn't have all the 2 speed and diff lock stuff on there so it's a lot lighter overall. I hate selling kits, I always end up regretting it. But if it doesn't get used and you can enjoy putting the money into something else then that's a win. For this build I built it completely stock minus the motor. It came with the hobby wing 1060 and it has a Holmes hobbies 13t 5 slot crawl master sport 540 motor. It is rocking a 4 for $20 metal.gear servo for the initial run. It did surprisingly well with that poor setup. I am swapping in a 1080 and a 35kg servo and also lowering the gear ratio in the trans. I think it'll do a whole lot better and be better suited for slow crawling and technical stuff. A little too fast and unrefined as is.
@@AddamsPlayground Sounds awesome. Yes some of the more simple Crawlers seem to do well even stock. I have a TRX Sport truck pretty much stock except new servo because the original died & metal beadlocks & some free mods like removing the front bumper & the rear is high & tight. But mostly stock & man that thing can go up spots that the TRX Bronco with locking diff adjustment & 2 spd can’t go or simply can’t make it up. And more & more from experience definitely seems like simple to a certain degree is good. No need for a bunch of high price items but definitely spend where it makes the most deference if needed. I’m finding really good servos make a big difference if your really trying to Crawl but it’s hit or miss I’ve had a few that should’ve been good but weren’t much better then stock. I do have a few Reefs servos & definitely makes a huge difference. But it’s not easy spending 100$ plus $’s on a servo. My Gen 8 V2. Still has the 20kg Amazon servo in it & have had no issues. Hit or miss!
@@fishnrc294 Yeah, I have not gone down the high priced servo route yet. I know they are amazing but I have a hard time putting that much money into an upgrade. I have gotten some decent ones for around $45 from amazon but I have not run them enough to say they will hold up. They are the Flash Hobby 45kg ones and they are faster and stronger then the cheaper 35kg servos. As long as it is fun and keeps you entertained it really doesn't matter what the cost is. I have had the biggest smiles on my face with an old poor performing RadioShack buggy and have developed a hatred for an expensive good hobby grade kit so fun and cost are not always matched!
The Traxxas trx4 bronco is amazing once set up ' the thing will go anywhere I send it . Yeah the 2 door looks great but the lwb on the trx4 bronco is great for crawling.

What a great looking rig, I need to look at getting a CC02. Great job on this, absolutely nailed it!!!
Thanks Rich! Build it with low range gearing, the high range is too high for good trailing. You'd have to run behind it at full speed!! Low range gears, a decent servo, a 1080 and decent speed crawler motor and it is a great little truck. This had a super cheap 4 for $20 servo in it so it did fairly well for the running gear!

I did find the body clip, it took a good bounce off of a clod buster tire and ended up in plain site so luck was on my side! I id fling an e-clip into another dimension the other day so not all oft hem take lucky bounces! (and no, I wasn't using the good e-clip tool either, old habits die hard!!)
Yeah Addam!! That thing is looking great man. A beauty blue in my opinion. Seemed to run good to. Another nice addition to the fleet. :P
Thanks! I am super excited for the looks. I am gonna stick the HW 1080 in there for some drag brake and swap the weak cheapy servo for a 35kg one and also change the trans gearing to the low range. I think with all that it will really do well out there. It is not sold as a crawler but handled itself well though!! I should get those upgrades done soon and be back out with it shortly
You nailed it! What a beauty! I agree the color looks outstanding. The amount of detail/time to do both inside and outside painting is really worth it. Cheers!👍👍
Thank you very much! The painting process was the lengthiest part of the but but really make sit look fantastic! I really did not want to rush any of it and it think it trued out great and it drove really well for being in high range and running a basic esc and servo. Some upgrades and changing to the low range gears and I think it will do really well!!
It came out Awesome it looks good in that blue Great run
Thanks, it came out nice and did well for the first run. I do plan on switching it to the low range gears, adding the 1080 ESC and replacing the cheapy basic servo with a high torque one and I think it will do very well!
Bro the paint job on that is stunning you've done an incredible job that is an absolute credit to you ...... I understand the wiring problem inside my bronco looks like a bowl of spaghetti great video subbed 👊
Well thank you very much! I am very happy with the look of it! A few tweaks and upgrades and it'll be a great little trail truck. Th light kit wiring is a mess and I need to tame that for sure! I have some wire loom to use but need to add length to them first t make it easier to get the body on and off.
Great job on the Bronco body paintwork
Thank you! I am pleased wit the way it turned out! I just need to do some cheap upgrades and it should be a really great performing truck although it did surprisingly well as is.
Really a nice car and a nice build. Have fun with it 😎🤘
Thanks!! A few little tweaks and upgrades and I think it will be a terrific running truck out there!!
Wow that looks brilliant Addam 🎉🏅🤩👍🚴interior and driver would look great
Thank you! I think it would look great with one in there as well. I need to look around for possible candidates for one or make one. I think that will be an over the winter project I can tinker on in between other things as I think it is going to take some time!
sweet build and awesome off-road run
Thank you!! I am very pleased with how it turned out and with some minor upgrades I think it will be an even better performing truck!!
Body looks fantastic! Great colour choice for sure!
Thanks! I was originally going to do it in a dark gun metal but thought it would not look right with the black roof and trim so at the last minute I changed my mind and went with the blue. I am glad it did!!
those wheels make a huge difference! lookin good out there!
The tires and wheels are way better than stock. They look great but also offer some more weight down low and the tires are light years ahead of those Tonka toy tires it came with! I plan on Sticking the low speed gearing in the trans and giving it a HW 1080 ESC and a 35kg servo so it will really do a lot better with that setup for the area I have out there!
Love the paint man! And I know it’s not necessarily supposed to be a crawler but this thing really gives off SCX 10 vibes lol. Great build!
Thank you! Yeah not a crawler but it did very well out on the rocks with a generic 4 for $20 servo in there and a basic ESC with no drag brake and the transmission built with the high range gears. With some upgrades and the gear change I think it will be a really good performer out there!
Spot on colour looks fab 👍👍goes well to mate 👍
Thanks! I was originally going to go with a dark gun metal but decided it was going to be to dark with the black roof and accents all over so grabbed the blue and I am happy I did!
Looks stunning Addam! The colour is spot on and those wheels are great. Look forward to seeing more of this!
Thank Craig, I was not a big fan of the color they chose to paint it on the box and I wanted to stay away from colors that have been done on the various RTRs released. I am very happy with the way it turned out and it came back with very little scratching on it from the first run so I think it will hold up nicely as well!
Great work! Looks awesome! 💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you!! It needs some tweaks but it did very well. I didn't even think to mention it did all that with a basic 4 for $20 servo off of Amazon. I wanted to see how well it would do and surprisingly enough it did well. it is getting a 35kg servo in there as part of the upgrades. I plan on making a separate video on those upcoming soon as well.
@@AddamsPlayground Awesome, can't wait for those follow up videos!
You did an amazing job with that body. What a beauty! Looks like the CC-02 is a ton more capable out of the box than the old 01.👍😊
Thank you!! It did surprisingly well out there considering I built it in the higher speed gearing, it had a completely generic cheapy servo and the 1060 is not a great ESC for this type of stuff. I will be doing the upgrades to it soon to add a 1080, a 35kg servo and changing the trans gearing to sow speed. I think it will be super fun and perform very well after that!!
Toy। ,
That looks sick bro great choice of colors and awesome paint work. I like the look of just the roof rails without the rack too my lil scx 24 is the same way... Very nice!
Thanks!! It turned out really nice looking! I am planning on sticking a HW1080 ESC in there, a 35kg servo and swapping the gearing to low range. I think it will be a really awesome truck after that. It drove surprisingly well for being basic stock but after the upgrades it should do way better
lt Looks absolutely fantastic Addam, i totally agree with you on the tires and electronics, stock tires work fine if you just run it on a plane gravel road or so and putting a high torque servo and like a 1080 in there will make it a real nice trail truck that actually can do some descent crawling too. Nice job
Thank you! I think with kicking the gearing in the trans to the low range and the ESC and servo upgrades it will perform really well. It surprised me for tis run so more grunt all the way around and a brag brake I think it will go most wherever I want it to! I am still frustrated about those kit tires... they are just terrible and belong on a kids toy!
Hello from southeast alaska sweet looking bronco
Hey there! Thank you, I am really happy with the look of it!
Looks great!!!
Thanks Brian!! I really love the look of it for sure. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!!
Hi Addam, nice work, colour is much better than box art. I noticed the rear lights worked sometimes when the model moved forward, regards Paul.
Thanks! I was not a big fan of the box art color and had initially planned on doing it in gun metal but when I sat down with it I thought it may be too much with the dark gun metal body and the black roof, fenders and trim. I think the blue was a good choice and not one of the common colors you see them in all the other releases of this body style. The light kit is not the best but it does at least change some. You have to give it a decent amount of throttle for them to realize you are on the gas and go out. I wanted some dynamic lighting on it and this better than the always on lights it came with. I think I got the light kit off of amazon like a year ago for ago $13 so not as performance driving as other light kits out there for sure but does give it a little something. To be completely honest I don't really ay attention to them when driving much. I notice them from time of time but I am focuses on the body position and the tires more than anything!
Fantastic!. The color is perfect and mat black gives the touch. May be some interiors also only a plastic lightly folded to hide the frame and wiring. Ciao Nanni
Thank you! I do have plans to work on an interior for it. That will probably be a winter project. I am not sure I am going to try and scratch build it or tray and find a Lexan interior tray I use. I'd like to keep it as light as possible.
@@AddamsPlayground From scratch is amazing! You need Plasticard Evergreen (you know'?) and plastic glue The one from Faller with the pin tube is perfect Than you van cut, fold and do everything you want. It gives satisfaction. But I'm speaking wit a master of mods.Ciao!
@@NANNIRC LOL, thank you! I learned a lot from your interior build for the NSU so I think I have enough confidence to try and fabricate something from scratch!
That looks amazing bro! 👍🏻
Thanks, I am very happy with it. It just needs some tweaks and an interior!
That looks awesome! I hope mine turns out as nice as that.
Just take you time on the painting and I am sure it will turn out awesome!! I think I spent way more time on the painting process than the building process!
Love blue and nice wheels
Thanks! I think they went together pretty well and it is much tougher looking than the pale blue/gray that is on the box!
The paint job looks great. I have always preferred darker colors to lighter ones anyway. A sensored brushless setup might work good too.
Thank you!! A nice brushless setup would be nice but the price increase for it is so much more. I am still stuck in the old school brushed motor days! I like brushless but for one brushless setup I can get two brushed ones. If this was going to be "the" truck I ran all the time maybe but since this will be a once in a while truck it doesn't justify the budget for one. I have thought of putting on of the brushless setups in the SCX10 I built not too long ago as that is my favorite trail truck/crawler at the moment!
I got a D-90 (emerald metallic) green CC-02. Have a Red D-500 CC-02. Thinking about a Bronco but like the Unimog too. Bronco has a 1060 Umimog has old style ecs. Good looking Bronco like the color never too many Blue R/Cs.
I like the Unimog as well but when the released images of this at the beginning of the year I immediately went and pre-order it! I am glad I did as the body on this is so well done!! I am sticking the 1080 esc in there to be able to program in some drag brake. I don't want full rock crawler, hold it on a hill all day amounts but I would like some to be able to slow the descent down things easier then trying to feather it in reverse. I also need to yank the transmission in put in the low range gearing. The high range is too much for how I am going to drive it. Thanks for watching and for checking in!!!
Awesome Addam! I love my cc02, such a big step up from the cc01. I dont know what they are thinking with the tires, especially with my unimog kit, Its like they are bad on purpose.
Thank you! It is a really nice kit and I did not like the generic shocks but they did seem to work rather well out there. The tires I feel like they should feel ashamed for producing! The only thing they may be good for is for being on display and not caring if they get flat spots in them (I doubt they would though, they are too hard!) or you could use them as corner markers for a temporary track!!! The wheels look nice, I will likely use them for something.
Excellent finish work as usual! Which gear set did you install in the transmission? Do you find the springs really stiff? I finished building my Bronco chassis last weekend and this weekend will be painting the body shell...hopefully! The shocks were not as bad as I was expecting. The verdict on the spring rates is still being debated internally. They seem too stiff to me...
Anyway, awesome build! Thanks for sharing.
I used the high gear and it is too fast for my taste. It do pretty well over all with it being in high gear out on the rocks and I think the Holmes Hobbies motor helped with that. I do want to put a 1080 ESC in there to give it some drag brake mostly for holding power trying to go forward and rolling back is not something I like. The suspension worked rather well to be honest. Spring may be a tiny bit on the stiff side but that should help once I add an interior.
great video, nice truck, im torn between this and the old coyote truck as next build
It is a great looking truck they really nailed the looks of this one!!! It did very good out on the rocks (I don't suggest taking it out on stuff like that too often!) and would be a great trail truck to run around looking good and it is very photogenic!!
Looks sharp! It runs very good I think you have the high speed set up in if I can recall I think you should put the low ratio in it this is a nice running truck it worked a lot better than I thought it would when I first ran mine.
Thanks Steve! I did build with the high range and it is going to get the low gearing put in. I am also going to add the HW 1080 ESC in there for some drag brake and a better low end control and also going to replace the generic 4 for $20 servo I used and stick in one of the 35kg servos. I think with that setup it will do extremely well out there. It surprised me on how well it did with the setup it has now so I know it will do very well after the changes!
@@AddamsPlayground Yep I was shocked how well mine went after I drove it the first time. Do my LCG battery mod it makes it work even better! My Video- Tamiya CC02 BEST MODS
@@ShenRC I will check it out!
Looks great Addam! Love the blue. Do you know if it can be geared like a true crawler? Can’t really tell in the video but I’d love if you could set it up with a really low gear ratio so you could really crawl with it.
I do hope to get it up on the bench tomorrow to get the trans pulled and put the low range gearing in it. While I am in there I will be taking the 1060 esc and swapping it with the the 1080 ESC to give it some drag brake and better low end control. Also I will be swapping out the very basic low torque servo ( one of my cheap4 for $20 ones) and replacing it with a 35kg one I have. I think with all that it should drive exceptionally well!! It did really well completely stock but suffered a little from the higher gearing and weak servo. I am sticking the 1080 in as I have one already and I prefer the drag brake and being able to tune out the motor whine with the program box if needed.
Awesome
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for GREAT review-something else wil the the stock wheels / rims fit or work on a tamiya tt02b ?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I will have to go out and test fit them. I assume they would, the only limiting factor may be the stub axle length. I will try it out and let you know. It would certainly look interesting with them on there! It would give it some more ground clearance too.
AWESOME REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT YES I WANT MORE GROUD CLEARANCE (DONT WANT TO ORDERED AND IT DONT WORK)
@@Charlvdwalt073 I went out and checked and the stock wheels and tires from the CC02 will bolt right onto the TT02B. It only gives it maybe a 1/4 inch extra ground clearance though but they do bolt right on!
@@AddamsPlayground THANK YOU REALLY APPRECIATE IT 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
What are you going to do with the light system that came with it?
I'm gonna stick it in one of the TT02 kits, probably the Mustang.
What do you do with the stock tires?
I am going to keep them with the stock wheels if I decide to do something different with it. I also thought of using them for another project down the road.
Nice paint job is it ps16 or ps59
LOL, good question... I am sitting here trying to remember but I cannot! I will check when I head out to the garage later and let you know for sure. I am pretty sure I went with PS16 as I knew I was going to back it with black but I am not 100% Kind of the problem of not planning everything out! I was originally going to go with a gun metal but thought is would clash with the black roof and fenders so I stuck with something safer like the blue! I will respond back this afternoon with the proper answer
It was the PS16 and then backed with black. So not as bright as it could be but brighter the 59 would have been. Sorry for the delay I got side tracked a lot yesterday
bonjour, how did you get the matte black color on the lexan, (roof and fenders) thank you
I carefully cut off the overspray film from the outside for the fender and the roof section and painted it the with the PS5 Black. You need to mask off the windows by hand on the outside to match the masking on the inside. You also need to make sure the overspray fil does not lift when you are peeling up the fenders and roof area. If it peels up it will not stick back down and you will have to peel it all off and mask it out by hand. I had already painted the fender black underneath the body in those areas to make sure if the paint on the outside gets scratch the body color does not come through. It is a lot more work doing it this way but it looks great. If you wanted to you could use the PS Matt clear on the outside instead of the black but it is the same amount of work so I just used the rest of the can of black I was already using!
@@AddamsPlayground super, merci beaucoup
So I didn't see a community post that you aren't going to have a video Wednesday night and I didn't see one for Saturday night should I be getting notifications for them or do I just have to go to my homepage and scroll for them
Honestly I am not sure how they work. I think if you have clicked the notifications bell it should alert to anything new. I wish there was a better way to let you all know other than making a video to tell you there is no video. I will get one done today and get it edited for tomorrow. I started a big remodel of our bathroom and it has taken more of my time than I expected. The older I get the more time these things seem to take! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground I would like to see the progress of your bathroom I'm trying to think of a shitty pun
I’m curious why Traxxas chose to use the 4 door version. In my opinion the 2 door is way better looking. I have the blue TRX Bronco & the color is almost exactly the same. I just got the new Chevy TRX truck but to be honest the TRX Bronco is the least used RC out of all my Crawlers. I actually started to think about selling it but it’s probably better to keep it. What electronics did you use?
I think Traxxas went with the 4 door to make the wheelbase the "standard" size so the 2 door may have looked off on there scale wise. This one has a much shorter wheelbase compared to the others. I really like my TRX4 sport, it does really well but also doesn't have all the 2 speed and diff lock stuff on there so it's a lot lighter overall. I hate selling kits, I always end up regretting it. But if it doesn't get used and you can enjoy putting the money into something else then that's a win. For this build I built it completely stock minus the motor. It came with the hobby wing 1060 and it has a Holmes hobbies 13t 5 slot crawl master sport 540 motor. It is rocking a 4 for $20 metal.gear servo for the initial run. It did surprisingly well with that poor setup. I am swapping in a 1080 and a 35kg servo and also lowering the gear ratio in the trans. I think it'll do a whole lot better and be better suited for slow crawling and technical stuff. A little too fast and unrefined as is.
@@AddamsPlayground Sounds awesome. Yes some of the more simple Crawlers seem to do well even stock. I have a TRX Sport truck pretty much stock except new servo because the original died & metal beadlocks & some free mods like removing the front bumper & the rear is high & tight. But mostly stock & man that thing can go up spots that the TRX Bronco with locking diff adjustment & 2 spd can’t go or simply can’t make it up. And more & more from experience definitely seems like simple to a certain degree is good. No need for a bunch of high price items but definitely spend where it makes the most deference if needed. I’m finding really good servos make a big difference if your really trying to Crawl but it’s hit or miss I’ve had a few that should’ve been good but weren’t much better then stock. I do have a few Reefs servos & definitely makes a huge difference. But it’s not easy spending 100$ plus $’s on a servo. My Gen 8 V2. Still has the 20kg Amazon servo in it & have had no issues. Hit or miss!
@@fishnrc294 Yeah, I have not gone down the high priced servo route yet. I know they are amazing but I have a hard time putting that much money into an upgrade. I have gotten some decent ones for around $45 from amazon but I have not run them enough to say they will hold up. They are the Flash Hobby 45kg ones and they are faster and stronger then the cheaper 35kg servos. As long as it is fun and keeps you entertained it really doesn't matter what the cost is. I have had the biggest smiles on my face with an old poor performing RadioShack buggy and have developed a hatred for an expensive good hobby grade kit so fun and cost are not always matched!
The Traxxas trx4 bronco is amazing once set up ' the thing will go anywhere I send it . Yeah the 2 door looks great but the lwb on the trx4 bronco is great for crawling.
It's hard to hear you in the end.
