Default RE: tamiya confusion

the other fellas are correct. when tamiya first started offering that chassis,it had 2 rear suspension mounting positions. the pajero metal wide top,the isuzu MU,the jeep wrangler were all XC chassis designation. they also put out a honda cr-v,which used the rear mounted suspension holes on the chassis,and a longer driveshaft. the cr-v was called CC-01. then the XC chassis didn't change it's designation,until the volkswagen touareg came out,hence with the longer wheelbase,and again was called the CC-01.
now for some stupid reason,tamiya has re-released the wrangler,and now an FJ40 bodied truck,and are calling them CC-01's. even though they are the shorter wheelbase. go figure.......
anywho,same truck,same chassis. only differences are the way the body mounts and a longer driveshaft in the actual CC-01.
