I bought a CC01 from japan on Monday that arrived yesterday. Spent all night building and i gotta say its an amazing machine. Why didn't i buy a 4wd or a axial or something else? well i wanted to see if i would like the hobby. Also i like the readily available parts for the Tamiya CC01.
Now my only complaint about the CC01 is the really bad... REALLY BAD turning circle. Other then that, i love it and dont think i will need another one style other then a 2nd CC01. Then agian this is more a trail vehicle and not a true crawler.
Thats my 2c hope it helps you decide.
