- Time to dress up the special metal and 3D printed CC-01 Longheroni chassis - with the iconic and classic Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Series Body Set for the Tamiya CC-01 and CR-01. And make a few shock mount adjustments along the way ...
As usual with this project everything didn't really fit. But I'm still loving this project. For one reason: It's fun! Read more about my thoughts below!
The kit was kindly supplied by 3DRap, free for review and tests. You can check it out here with this (non-affiliate!) link: www.3drap.it/s...

It seems the body mount system of this chassis is only made for a few special CC-01 body sets, like the Pajero, but since I didn't want a Pajero (right now), I decided to take a chance with the Unimog 406. After test fitting the body I did indeed find a few optional holes on the chassis rails for fitting the body without changing the stock mounting holes on the body. So even though the whole thing is off by a couple of mm, and the body mounts have to be slightly angled and bend for the wheel base to fit, I decided on this. This will mean I can re-use this new body for a stock CC-01 or something else later on.
Best option would of course have been to make custom special holes in the body for the Longheroni chassis or to invest in some magnet metal mounts from GPM Racing or others. And again, a good option for this chassis and the new shocks would of course have been new turn-buckles for the front suspension and new rear metal shock mounts from GPM or Yeah Racing. But I am pretty much done pouring money and time into this project.
Breaking the front guard on a test run in the house, trying to climb a door step, definitely also made me think ‘enough is enough’.
Right now I got other Tamiya projects going on, that I am more interested in, and since summer is about to kick in, it's about time to get this Longheroni chassis out running. I think it will be a nice little trail truck for pleasant walks. I might make a simple driver for the body but that's about it. And I might return to the project, come winter, and make some improvements, but then again, at that time I most likely will be engulfed in new Tamiya projects: my biggest passion, the buggies.
So let's settle for now to see this one running in her new shiny Unimog dress. Coming up soon.

Wow! That came out beautiful! Nicely done Mikael!👍😊
Thank you, Jeremy!
Well done on the Unimog body, looks really good.
Hi Mattias! Thank you so much!
I just put one of these on my 9125. Magnetic mounts and I did grey/black paint. I also put madvan wheels on it and all metal oil shocks. It’s so fun! 👊🤘👍👏
Nice! Sounds awesome. I considered magnetic mounts too.
That body turned out really good, I’ve been thinking about this body for my lunch box, something different 👊🏻👍🏻
Uhh, yeah, that could look cool. I think they have a model with the Unimog on one of their newer Wheelies. But a LB Unimog could be cool.
Wow great unimog !! 👍😲
Thank you! First for me! I like it 🙂
That looks awesome,great work
Thank you so much!
You've done a fantastic job on the body Mikael. I'm very impressed, even if it did take 10 eternities 😄👍 Now you need to get a "Ready meal" tub and make some inner fenders 😀👍👍
Thank you! Ha ha, yeah, this one did take quite a while. With the cutting, masking, about ten layers of paint, stickers, plastic accessories. I could have build four or five CC-01 chassis’ in that time 😅 Well, you know how it is. At least I didn’t film it all, then I wouldn’t be finished. Ahh, yeah, this one could need a lot of work. But I think I am finished with it for now. I’m ready to return to work on my beloved buggies ☺️ ‘Ready Meal’? Was that the one you used? I have to try it myself one day. I like the idea. A good meal and then some wheel arches afterwards 😅🙂
Ahh, ‘Ready meal’ ... must be a term for any meal that is ‘ready’ to eat, not a particular one ...
Ready meal = Microwave dinner 😀👍
Ahh, yeah, I figured out 🙂
That's the only trouble with 3D printed parts, some are stronger then others. I've been tinkering with one for a while and still learning how to get the parts to print better. The Unimog body look great, good Tamiya supply all in the bag and not like some body kits come in multiple sets.
Hi Mal! Yeah, some hold up better than others. The material used for this one seems a bit brittle. Not made for impacts 🙂 And yes, everything needed in this package, but Tamiya also makes a lot of the stuff available separately. But great they also make these packages. Easier to buy.
Excellent Mike👍🇫🇷
Thanks a lot, bro!
Looks good!
Thank you so much my friend!
cool job! 👍
Thank you!
Great job on the body, Mikael, it looks fabulous - all that hard work and eternities payed off! Nice that you managed to get the new shocks mounted better. It will look great on the trails, looking forward to seeing how it actually preforms. Have a lovely Sunday evening my mate! :O)
Thank you, Mark! Yeah, took a lot of eternities this one. Looking forward to the un-cut and un-paint of the little Fighter Buggy body 😅 Will only take 2-3 eternities. So that’s good. Well, about the performance. It feels just like a stock stiff minus-turn-radius CC-01 😅😅😅 Hope your Landfreeder is still in good shape. Probably tuned better than this one if I know you right ☺️
i got the same body, put it on MST CFX chassi and worked wonderfully, tho i modified mine later to have a deep bed! i went with a dare military green. Tamiya Unimog body si so small and cute! (compared to my TRX4 Sport!
Uhh, I bet that MST, from what I’ve seen, works better than all the Tamiya CC’s. I would love a deep bed for this one too, but at the moment it’s just gonna stay like it is.
Super like,,,, 🤩👍
Thanks for the continuous support bro!
Hiya Mikael. Ha, Ten eternities later, that made me laugh! I know what you mean with some of these bodies. You have done a magnificent job on it though so worth all the effort. I'm still wondering if you might as well stick with the trusty Tamiya plastic CC-01 with the wheel arches. The metal one does look quite cool though. Very nice video as ever my friend. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I'm just off out RC'ing in a bit and deciding what to take. Cheers for now :-)
Hiya Pete! He he, yeah this one took a while. I think I soon have to paint a little one-color buggy body, just to relax a little. Alas, I still have my clear Porsche body sitting and grinning at me 😅 he he, yeah, the CC-01 chassis would be a much better option. The black chassis, sun-body and wheel arches blend so good together. But that’s why I opted for the standard mount holes in the body. So I easily could fit it on a stock CC-01 (if I ever rebuild mine or get another). Well, at least it looks better than the Unimog mounted on the CR-01. But then again, that one looks so weird that it is almost Tamiya-cool 🙂 thank you Pete! Uhh, lucky you. Sun is shining too here and I would love to go RC’ing too. Cheers my mate.
What's the softest oil you can get to put in the back shocks?
I have some really soft. I might try it, but it’s the springs that are hard too.
@@NordicRC get the softest springs too then.
Hey are you going to get the cc02 version of the unimog?
No, red wheels not my favorite and now I already have a unimog. If they come out with a Toyota some day I will be tempted. Or if I can’t wait I’ll have to get a body set too (but I think the cc-02 is already a bit overpriced, compared to it’s design).
@@NordicRC hey you have the other one why not to have that one and constantly check their site to see if you can get one on sale cuz that sometimes happens we can get it cheaper from them then hobby stores.
