Thank you for sharing this exellent tutorial video! Very clear and a step by step precise instruction video, you cannot go wrong when you follow the instructions in this video, this is how it should be done! Cheers.
Maybe try the Ultra Compact reduction gear box from RC4WD (Part No. Z-U0012). This will fit in without modification of the gear cover. Before I had the reduction gear set, I was running my CC-01 with a 80t truck motor. But I think, a 55t will also be fine. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
Thank you for your "Reduction Gear Box" Video! I already fixed my new Tamiya Landfreeder. Tomorrow I will fix the HPI reduction. Will give gear-fat into the gear box. maybe the noise will be softer. :-)
Here's my new tutorial! This time I'm installing a HPI reduction gear box into a Tamiya CC-01. I will also talk about the advantages and the disadvantages of this modification. A german version will be up tomorrow! Eine deutsche Version folgt morgen!
I've been looking into GRU and there aren't many options. The hpi GRU has no specs on line, could you tell me how long the unit is? Not the shaft included just the length of the gear housing.
nice video friend as always.... I really want this upgrade but my cc01 land rover has a different modification. I cutted the chassis in two to fit the wheelbase.. what is the other way except this? should i change to 55t motor or up?
The roof rack is from 3racing (3Racing Steel scale roof rack 1/10), bought this on ebay. The light bar is from Topcad (Alloy Roof Sport Light type II).
Great tutorial!!! I'm going for it!!! Just a question, what if I use the original 16T pinion? Would that be to slow? Would increase the torque? Thanks and keep on the good work!
You should have no problem when using a standard Tamiya ESC. I'm using a 540 silver can motor together with the HPI gear reduction unit, so a stock Tamiya ESC will be totally fine. Thanks for watching.
Well, my BJ40 doesn't drive at the moment because alle the gears and drive shafts are totally worn out. I think I'm going to make a chassis by my self in the future. Now I use some parts in my self made steadicam and that works pretty well. So that's how my BJ40 ends so far...
Darth Vader I'm using a winch from 3racing on all of my trucks. It's called "3Racing Automatic Crawler Winch #CR01-27" and it comes with all the needed screws and the fairlead. I just mounted the winch to the stock front bumper. Thanks for watching!
Jack Edmondson It depends on what motor you were using before installing the GRU. I'm using a standard silver can motor together with the gear reduction unit and with a 3.400 mAh Lipo-Battery I have a runtime of about 2 hours. Thanks for watching!
Max McCormack I'm running a standard silver can motor with a speedstar 2 crawler esc from robbitronic. My energy comes from hardcase lipos with 3400 mAh. But because of the gear reduction unit I only get a top speed of 3 mph / 5 km/h. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
Max McCormack Hello Max. I don't think, that the Tekin 35t will bring you more speed, because the standard silver can motor has around 27t. But maybe the motor will run great without using the gear reduction unit. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

Hello Alexis. I'm using a standard 540 silver can motor together with a 20T pinion gear. With this combination my CC-01 runs about 3 mi / 5 km per hour. If you reduce the pinion gear to 16T, you will have a little more torque, but you also have the reduced top speed. You can compensate this with a faster motor, but I think that the torque you get with the 20T pinion is really enough. Thank you very much for watching and for leaving a comment!
