| description | I have owned a few CC01 / XC over the years but my favourite has always been the Jeep!
I was lucky enough to win this body on New Years Day, yes it has taken me this long to get it mounted on the chassis! It also came with original gold meshed wheels/tyres but i wanted a more scale look.
It has RC4WD steelies fitted. I tried to make the track wider by use of fitting the wider hexes however the nuts would not fit on the thread of the axle so, I have put two washers between the existing hexes and the wheel. This gives a slightly wider track combined with the slightly off-set wheels and allows the nut to go on the thread ok. I've also added the BFG tyres as although not the best off road scale tyre for grip, it does give good scale appearance.
I have also added Junfac front guard and under guard. I know the under guard restricts ground clearance a little howver, it won't be a heavy off roader, more a forest track scaler.
I have yet to add a winch and a few other scale goodies however, I want a fairly standard looking Jeep without the expedition type look.
One thing I did note looking on the TC reference guide is that the body I think was owned by Rallyebaz. He purchased it from Gazwilts around 2009! You guys may confirm this? I purchased it from a guy in Wales, so it's had an interesting life!
The last pic is when I took it out for its' first run last weekend, I'm not a photographer so hopefully the photo's will get better!
I'll try and list my other XC's soon, hopefully they won't take 6 months to list!!

Thanks for the comments guys. It will look better when I get the front light mounts removed, winch added and a few scale bits. Also thinking of painting the skid plate black? Update to follow!
love it
I like it, looks good!
Very nice colour choice !!
Great looking Jeep, and it looks so realistic in that color. Looking forward to your other XCīs models.
