Andyjk's Toyota Landcruiser LC80

[Andyjk]

Hi all, I've done a bit of searching but can't seem to find if anyone has attempted a 313mm wheelbase on a CC01. I have found d 3D print files of brackets to assist in achieving this so I know at least 1 person out there has attempted it! Haha.

If you're aware of anyone having done this, I'd be keen to see it.

Regardless, I'm going to attempt it. I have a spare CC01 lying around and a toddler that is keen to have his own truck. So here we go!

Here's how it sits at present

Next to my own CC01

Can't say I've ever seen a 12.3" wheelbase CC-01, but if anybody on this site has done it, it would be @OSRC

Thanks mate, appreciate the info. The fact that I can't find any info on a 313mm wheelbase CC01 just makes me want to do it more. I'm confident I can achieve it, I just hope it is relatively drivable.

You're welcome. I'm sure it'll be drivable. You just may have to increase steering throw for that long wheelbase. I forget how much steering angle the CC-01 has in stock form.

I used some aluminium angle and drilled holes 313mm apart, attached to the outdrives and began to gwt the rear 4 links sorted. It's not perfect, but it'll work for now

This is definitely an interesting project. I do recall a long wheelbase CC01 build back in the day but I don’t think it was 12.3”. Maybe closer to 11.5” or so. I definitely recall some sort of chassis extension. Good luck.

 

[OSRC]

Nice work! Been a while since I've seen a cool CC01 build.

Yes I stretched one out but it was a bit narrow for the body I had planned to use so I never ran it. I did use some aluminum pieces to stretch out the chassis a little bit to give me better shock mount options as well as a spot to mount a rear bumper.

It still lives on with a new stock chassis, portals and a shortened Ecto body.

Got the 4 link all sorted

Obligatory flex shots

Pretty happy with it so far, still need to add some more pieces to strengthen it up a bit.

Next will be making a lengthened drive shaft

 

[Andyjk]

Got the centre drive shaft made up using an aluminium shaft from a TT01 and the stock CC01 universals. Got the idea from here if you're looking for instructions:

CC01 drive shaft extension

Body arrived!

Here it is with 110mm OD tyres. I feel they're perhaps a touch too big

And with 94mm tyres that I thi k are a touch too small

The wheelbase also appears to be slightly out but shouldn't be a difficult fix

Thoughts?

What are we looking width wise?
Maybe a 100-102mm tire is where it’s at? I'm going to have to keep an eye out on this thread since I have the same body, and will have a tire dilemma sometime in the future. I think i initially had injora or the rc4wd dick cepek mud toughcountry 105mm diameter or something or another tires. I'll have to have a look and report back.

The bigger ones (that are stock axial SCX10 wheels) are about 40mm wide, the smaller ones are 38mm.

I just tried it with some RC4WD mud threshers that are 104mm and think I actually prefer the larger axial ones

Only issue is, they'll rub the chassis under full lock AND full compression. Not a huge issue but still annoying

I need to sort out the correct wheelbase before I make a decision. Just looking at it makes them all look wrong
