- When you’re looking for something fun to do, turning to a Tamiya model is a great way to spend your time, building, being creative and really enjoying a hobby. There are certainly plenty of RC models to choose from in the Tamiya line-up and although there are plenty of new kits, we wanted to show you a kit that has been around for a bit and is still a great model to have fun with. The Tamiya Land Rover Defender 90 is based on their CC-01 chassis and this 4x4 off-road capable truck is just perfect for looking scale and exploring those dirt paths at your local park. It’s a build up kit that includes a speed control, motor and even LED lights. You’ll need a few more items to finish it up, and you’ll need plenty of free time to build the chassis and detail the body. But when you’re done, you’re left with a simple RC truck that will be a lot of fun to drive around.

I like its scale details
Already have the Pajero and love it! Just ordered the Land Rover as well. This is a fun and quick build.
I really enjoy your vids. Keep it going.
Beautiful, hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇺🇸🤜🏻🤛🏻
Its a great chassis but a bit updated
If you go for Tamiya, buy the CC-02 chassis and ad the Defender Body.
Super Video mit dem CC01. Der Wagen kann mit dem TRX4 und anderen Mitbewerbern nicht mithalten aber es ist immer wieder schön das Fahrzeug zu sehen und zu fahren. Nicht umsonst gibt es den CC01 schon sehr lange.
Freue mich auf das nächste Video mit dem Defender
Love the CC-01 over the CC-02. Wish Tamiya would sell ABS hardshells only.
You definitely can crawl with these once modified, may not be super competitive but crawl mine and does well. However I've spent more than the kits cost on upgrades.
I like the Tamiya CC-01truck kit. It is easy to build. If you use it as trail rig, then it is cool. It is not a crawler. It does work better with ball bearings. Also the steering set-up is terrible. Too much slop. What is really good about this kit is that there are a lot of after market parts. You can improve the steering set-up, and get metal dampers. You can even get metal axles. With all of the after market parts available, you can change this truck to the way that you want it to handle.
Very cool vid. I have this car also and fixed the two things you mentioned. Can you also give some advice about the steering? It is a bit sloppy with different steering angles. is a aluminium steering upgrade enough?
Hi there, it just needs a set of the tamiya hop up white barrel springs as the supplied springs are to firm.
Hi looks great, what silver paint did you use please?
I just bought that body and attach to the CC-02 chassis
Nice!
If you're gonna put a Defender body on any Tamiya chassis, the CC-02 is the best choice as a real Defender doesn't have IFS which the CC-01 has. The CC-02 has the proper dual solid axle setup that the Defender should have
What lipo are you using in that chassis? Limited battery options?
Tamiya needs to upgrade their electrics. They are waaay out of the past. Dont get me wrong I love Tamiya, just bought the Avante.
Tamiya needs to make the esc's lipo ready. They do not have that cut off feature. I use an alarm on on all my cars and trucks.
Yes or go right away for brushless. In some cases its better.
I was just thinking about getting the isuzu amigo version of this
Lila That is a pretty cool body set! 😎
i realize Im pretty off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Cullen Malachi i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)
Silly question but can the lights be submerged in water ?
I have fully waterproof the esc reciver and battery.
If it is not, you can waterproof the light system ?? If so how ?
Can you make a video of the Traxxas E Revo VXL
I've always loved my CC01. I kind of wish the CC02 had IFS as well.
I enjoy your videos very much!
I just purchased this Defender 90 kit a few days before this video. I really wanted the Tamiya 47361 LandFreeder 4wd Matte Black kit but could not really find at a decent price. I wish I saw this video prior to purchase. The body jiggle and damper bounce is unfortunate.
I'm new to the CC01. Years ago i have several TT01s and since got rid of them as it's hard to find the proper surface to use the TT01s.
Anybody have suggestions on damper or suspension upgrades (not overly expensive) to make the damper bounce look more scale authentic?
Thanks all!
You can start with the softer spring set from tamiya and other tyres (tamiya mud blocks are ok if you dont want to spend a lot. Softer than the original).
Next go for the rear links. Once you get rid of the two big plastic links the car improves a lot.
After that, steering.
And after that put a motor that fits your needs. I use an 80T perfect for crawling. Depends on what you want to do with the car.
@@pablovr6269 thanks this is very helpful!
I was more looking towards Tamiya's rally cars and Formula 1 cars. Just want something to have run with out on the driveway and on my track, and both those can do one or the other
RCLogan We have a few on-road Tamiya TT and M kits in the build stages. No F1 though.
@@rcdriver Ok that's fine.
i messed up the body on mine ☹️
Which one do you prefer? I was wondering if there is a big difference in performance between the i.f.s on the cc01 and the solid axle on the cc02. I'm thinking about building a custom lunchbox but want to use a 4x4 chassis
They’re both “Cross Country” trucks so they do well on flat off-road surface. The CC-02 however can handle a rougher surface. So I’d probably grab that one more often to drive. But as a long time Tamiya fan, it is cool to have an 01 on hand for something different to drive.
@@rcdriver yeah I'm a big Tamiya fan as well, I guess I'll have to buy both 😁
So not very true to the the Defender as it didn’t have front independent suspension, but looks great
Do you recommend locking the rear diffs ? And why ?
Absolutely, improves ability ten fold without any negatives. Locking front diff will cause it's turning circle to suffer greatly, however it will be incredible at climbing
I'd like to try one of these with a hard body and interior, to put a little more weight on it!
Quatro
It's funny how old this chassis design is and still going. The new CC-02 isn't really that much better, or is it? They should have made that one 10 plus years ago.
Yup, the 01 does have a following.
Brushless motor ? would the drivetrain handle 3s ? seems like a dated design or is that the idea ? I wish Tamiya would come out with some up to date designs. Blow us away Tamiya.
Nice vedio but have a giveway for me
Unfortunately it looks good until you start moving. Body shakes and flaps like wings at the bottom. I like the idea but I think they kinda missed on this one. IMHO
Henry Bunker unfortunately, a lot of Tamiya kits suffer from this issue. The hard, ABS bodied CC-01 kits are the way to go. Tamiya’s approach to “scale” is also quite dated. They think of these kits as models first, radio controlled vehicles second-highly detailed bodies and decals, with whatever chassis fits underneath to get it moving.
There are some creative ways to brace it.
One very effective way I found was putting the body clip mounts at the rear rather than facing up, it stops the rear end flapping around and there are many ways to stop the sides flapping! I have put the aluminium suspension upgrades on it, new esc, new tires, new softer dampers and barrel springs, new upgraded rear diff, (locked front diff) and a new motor, it's an absolute beast on the trails and I have fully customized it, I made a metallic blue defender 90 body shell, got a custom front bumper, added skid plates, cut the front brick and added a winch and lighting kit, it looks the part and is an absolute savage.
I use armored tape /ductape on the sides, to stiffen it up. Works ok. You can allso use double sided tape and some thin plastic plate or left over lexan

The body shakes alot not really scale.
Yep, mentioned that in the review.
@@rcdriver sorry I leaped before I looked
another video ruined with music
I think Tamia products are a waste of money. The chassis and all the parts look like something from Walmart. Just with a nice body on top
As long as you realize that's your own opinion. I've gotten more enjoyment out of my tt02 than any other rc in my collection.
@@250hdd yeah totally my opinion, no idea how much this kit runs but everything looks so cheap, no suspension movement, body's shaking all around. Cheaper crawlers out there that seem to work better
Nicholas Coucoularis this chassis is quite an old design, and Tamiya has not caught on to the modern trail /crawl design paradigm. One thing to consider with the lack of suspension movement is that this chassis was designed with ni-cad/nimh batteries in mind, and much lighter LiPo batteries are probably being used.
This vehicle was never really meant to be a crawler and as @FuriousFilipino mentioned this is a very old chassis. There are much better option available if you want to crawl.
I love Tamiya Products. Sure they look a bit outdated, but that makes them so attractive to me. They are not so much Highend RCs, but highly collectible. They have a soul. Traxxas for example to me is just a powerfull motor and that's it. Most Tamiya Fans have a certain age (40+)...we are kinda nostalgic. And looking at Tamiya prices...only cheap chinese Knockoffs can beat them. And don't forget about the building experience. It's for Newbies and Cracks. 😁
The body is cool, the chassis is not.
The cc01 is awful
