Default Jato Got a CMX Unimog

I've had a Tamiya CC-01 and I just don't like them. They aren't capable enough for me in stock form so I quickly sold mine. When the CMX was announced I was interested because it gives you the very cool CC-01 bodies in a much more capable, 4-linked, form. They were priced too high for my liking and I wanted other things more so I forgot about the CMX.

Then I saw OSRC's CFX out on the trail a couple of weekends ago and it impressed me. At that time he told me AMain was having a clearance sale so I checked it out when I got home. Some friends are bad influences.

I like the FJ40 body, but that was the long wheelbase and I wanted something shorter like a lot of the CC-01 bodies so I went with the Unimog. $167 shipped for a hobby grade RC is crazy.

Getting a new RC box is always exciting.




I've been told the CMX is a mini SCX10 and it's true.




One thing I have to say is this is the most non ready to run RTR out of the box that I've ever owned. The body is painted and the most tedious window-trim decals are applied, thankfully since I hate painting, but the rest of the decals and details aren't installed. You also have to install the body posts on the chassis and punch mounting holes in the body. Tamiya makes this easy because they have indents molded into the body where you need to drill the body post holes.

I just wanted to run the darn thing in my rock/weed garden so I installed the body posts on the chassis and drilled holes in the body.

I like the look of the orange body and black wheels. I like the tires. They actually worked pretty well in the cold. I'm not sure if I'll stick with 1.9s or if I'll go down to 1.55s. I do think I'll go with metal wheels to add weight though.




I was impressed with the first drive. It's far more capable than a CC-01 for sure. And with a few mods it will be even more capable.
