The "What body do you want to see on the CR-01 next" thread

[pagedm]

Being a new forum and all I just had to start an obligatory "What body do you want to see on the CR-01 next" thread :D

The Unimog is awesome, I don't think I have seen Tamiya do any body like that before.

My pick to be next is also something they haven't done before, like a new late model version of a Land Rover or what about one of those small Suzuki things, that might be 1/8th scale though...

[louisthe2nd]

Not sure about the rest of you but I have had a few 4wd vehicles in the past. I took a great deal of pleasure in giving them heaps off-road, then hose them down and go out to dinner. I would love to see a CR-01 version of the Range Rover / Lexis / BMW X5 etc. The juxtapostion of hard core with shiny and clean appeals to me for some reason. Cheers, Tony

[7point2]

i think an old bronco body would be really cool.

[william]

74 GMC camper special anyone? :D

ok, a newer silverado, or maybe a 89 chevy shortbed stepside, always liked that body too.

I think if they made the RAM body as there really hasn't been anything decent like that. Many would buy just for somethying different.

Something that is really udsed for 4x4 capabilities, not a grocery getter SUV :bangin:

[tovleander]

Why not a 82' Gelenderwagon. Short type ;)

[Wyoming]

Oh wow, that is a long list. Lets see a Dodge truck would be tops Like William said, M37 or other early Power Wagon, Current Dodge Ram, or Ramcharger, a Current or vintage Chevy truck pickup or Blazer, Early Ford Bronco, International scout, Jeep Wranglers of course, Scale Willys Jeep, Land rover defender, Early Nissan patrol, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, Current Ford super duty or F-150, I think the best selling choice on Tamiyas part would be an American Pickup or a Jeep. I could come up with many more too.

[7point2]

here is what i would really love to see, the old willys wagon

[CM_113]

.
X2 but with an artic flavor to it, huge fender flares, phat tires

[85sfarunner]

1st gen 4runner

[SMOKE-DOG]

Well that takes care of all the ones I could think of. Did anyone say Nissan Pathfinder?

[Moondoggie]

<sarcasm>Super alien battle vehicle called the "power-up laser blaster smasher" with stupid stickers all over the body...</sarcasm>

J/K:p

I agree! I would like to see a Dodge on that chassis. Of course I would be happy with a lot of other vehicles that they could put on there as well.

You may not have to wait to long to put a Ramcharger body on CR-01! Looks like Proline just came out with one! ( I got one on order! )

[cousin eddy]

I'd like to see a new style Jeep Unlimted!

Yeah I was stoked beyond belief to see this one, my dad used to have an 85 Ramcharger that he used to pull my dinky little Toyota out of mudholes :D

Somebody will build Lone WolF McQuades rig I bet :D

[scalenut]

WOW,I have to get one of them!!!!!
I had an 85 ramcharger when I was in high school it has 6'' susp lift 35'' and it was a beast in the mud. wish I still had it.

[william]

it just doesn't look that far from they're blazer body to me.

I meant the RAM style pickup from the last few years :)

When You're a mopar guy it makes a big difference :D I do have a K5 pro-line I was working on but now they are actually doing a Ramcharger I can just sell that Blazer to a Chevy guy to finish. I would like to see a Dodge Ram Hard body from Tamiya as there are a lot of Dodge bodies out there from HPI, Pro-line etc. but they don't look right for scale builds

Hmm that body has a lot of potential for some neat projects!

[CM_113]

well i think the rumor mill has started to work,... on other forums i have read posts about the new HL comeing out with a Toyota Crew Max Tundra....HARD BODY!!!!!! now if the new cr-01 had a Tacoma Crew lexan like the landcruiser now that would be sweet.

[Dakillswitch]

I would love to see a jeep body,don't really care wich one as long it's a jeep :D

[CM_113]

I would love to see a jeep body,don't really care wich one as long it's a jeep :D even a compass? that thing is fubar

[william]

the old honcho truck body would be cool :omg:

[Alan p]

Landrover defender :first: but off roader on the planet :D

[Dakillswitch]

even a compass? that thing is fubar

Well....ok you got me on that one :LOL:

awesome, ill take two.:common001:

[Joat]

I would like a old school Toyota pick up body, older then the hilux, or a fj40 pickup :) .

[BREL]

will the hpi Land rover defender body fit the CR -01 chassis

[jeffro]

thats funny, i brought this up last month and I was totally ignored

[Wyoming]

Yes I beleive the HPI defender shell is about the same as the CR-01 wheelbase. Might require a bit of adjustment to wheelbase for perfect match. I don't have one currently but did awhile back.

[Blazerbogger]

If it were a pickup, a stepside wouldn't be on my list. A pathfinder would be sick Smoke-Dog, but I have to say a 1979 K5 Blazer would be the best!

[BREL]

thank I will get one as soon as I finish building the CR - 01 chassis

[hbc865]

ok how about one of these a BENZO

[Wyoming]

Nice Mudcedes! I always love seeing car truck hybrid creations lol! I'm a redneck and see some strange creations like this on the road too :D

[merlin]

Jeep XJ and Range Rover Classic are the best 4x4 ever to be on 1/8 scale , or 1/10

[JoeH]

I would like to see an Scout 600a

[DRW-FJ40]

Classic safari style late 60's Land Rover with optional rag top.

[Northwest 4x4]

Why not the jeep wagon, the one that looks like a pick up, I think it the chereke wagon

[TubbyT]

I'd like to see an early 80's Grand Cherokee. My Great Aunt had one when i was a kid. Sweet white with wood panel.....or an old mail jeep like thishttp://www.stockauctionco.com/AUCTIONS/Gronenthal/added/83-Mail-Jeep.JPG

[quickster47]

I would like to see a good rendition of the new Jeep Unlimited. If they did it correctly the body would look very good on the CR01 chassis. And besides, if they would do it I could paint it to match my real one.

Carl

[Flowmastered87gl]

A Subaru hatchback would be sweet (same body style as the brat, just a little shorter departure angle)

They should offer the brat from the factory on the new chassis too :D

it would look something like this in real life (no this is not my brat) http://www.indysworld.com//subaru/brat/2009-RB2.jpg

[Arcocustom]

The Brat in the photo looks pretty much like the box art on the 2WD kit. A CR-01 brat would be cool.:cool: It would dwarf the one in the picture.:D Think 56 inch tires instead of 31's.:jaw:

[HuskeyHilux]

I'm down with the 90's small jeep cherokee 2 or 4 door, or an late 80's LandcruiserFJ60/ FJ62 4 door would be sweet!

[DRW-FJ40]

As a Landcruiser/Toyota fan, I like the 60/62 series but a 55 would be real cool too.

[jeffro]

Its time for something different besides Toyota's, Chevys, Fords and Jeeps, Although I would like to see a newer Chevy body (all hard bodies of course) :D

I know it has to do with licensing, but I would like to see something like this or older body styled.

[DRW-FJ40]

"something like this or older body styled"

How about:

They probably wouldn't even have to ok it with Fiat.

I almost put that same pic up, I was lookin at that last nite. You have good taste :D

[DRW-FJ40]

Thanks. Those old Powerwagons were beasts. There used to be one rusting in a field near my house, I checked it out up close. it's an awsome truck, no soccer mom SUV stuff. Then one day it was gone, hopefully it got restored.

[Arcocustom]

Alright, first up, an Isuzu.

Second, a Pajero

Last, but not least, the TOYERO

Toyota Drivetrain, Pajero sheetmetal.:D

[Boweavel]

Has anyone said 'Toyota Landcruiser 40.. Long wheel base ?

http://www.thecartorialist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/toyota_landcruiser_angle_front.JPG

Saw one yesterday and suddenly..."I had a dream...'

Or a Troop Carrier ?

http://www.rightcar.govt.nz/gfx/vehicles/rb/TOYO/TOYO0240.jpg

Can the Wheelbase of the CR 01 be extended comfortably ? Or would i be better of buying something longer.

Hey Boweavel, check out this one.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3716058601_49df1672af_o.jpg

(and to answer your question about lengthing the CR-01 chassis, Yes, it can be done) with a little bit of work. :D

[Boweavel]

Very Cool.. So you just cut the chassis in half and spread them apart with another ali bar on each side ? simple as that ? and a few extra holes to drill ?

Need Longer links or Drive Shafts ?

Love it!

[RichardinNZ]

My votes goes for any Land Cruiser 70 Series; especially the Prado or 76 Station Wagon.

how about the jeep pick up version

[860Crawler]

That newer LC body is available on genkidoridori.com

[Flowmastered87gl]

how about the jeep pick up version

A Comanche you mean??

That would rule... heck I think there is a HUGE market for the cherokee as well. You can find the body, but its expensive and a custom build.

I bet they could make a lot of $$ selling a gen 1 4runner too.

[teebeehex]

I've been doing some research for my next (never to be completed :mad:, we'll see) build and i reckon the Volvo c303 would make a great CR-01 body. Certainly not an icon in the automotive world, but just look at it... Fantastic (in an odd way) :D:D
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2213/2222873048_01562649f8.jpg

[jeffro]

Yup, that last one looks like a box

Maybe one of these, but then again it doesn't matter. :D

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3992388797_a89a0b77b9.jpg

[Waterboy]

a scale land rover defender 90 body, its so hard to find those.

[jeffro]

Thought I would dig up this thread.

I know what (hard) body I want Tamiya to produce and put it on their 3 -spd chassis

I just finished Josh's Super Duty, but he sold the 1:1 and bought a

2006 Nissan Titan, ( which I normally don't like the looks of) but this truck is sweet. There is no clutter under the truck, lots of clearance

How about Big T, time for something different ;)

[teebeehex]

Jeffro, being that it's IFS, it might be better suited to the new CC02 (wishful thinking? ;))

[That guy]

Either an old Dodge power wagon or a Kaiser M-175!!!! Either one would be killer! And :Tamiya1: rules!!!:first: PSS.... A good set of hummer bodies, the truck version, the ambulance version....

[willyg1981]

i would like to see a lada niva body a hard body ideally :)
