Chassis Modifications
 
The Tamiya CC-01 chassis wasn’t designed to accept a bug body, so some modifications were needed to mate the two items together.

Since the body tapers slightly in the front and rear, I had to cut down the fender wells to match as closely as possible on the chassis. I also had to make room for the nose of the body at the front of the chassis. I used a cut off wheel and sanding drum in my rotary tool to make the modifications. The stock truck mounts the battery from side to side, but there’s not enough room for a standard-length pack thanks to the narrow width of the body. The solution was a “shorty” Reedy LiPo battery. Since the pack is small and pretty light, I mounted it to the chassis with a strip of Velcro instead of fabbing up a custom mount. This saved me some time and cleans up the look of the chassis. I wanted to get a little weight over the front axle to help with traction on the trails, so I mounted my speed control in between the front wheel wells with some double-sided tape.
