Heres a little tip for your short dogbone problem, insteed of adding more o-rings get part # DTXC7475 this is a duratrax part# but they fit perfectly with no slop in the cc01 with a lift and steering mods because their a longer,also to get full travel out of your lift the c-hubs need to be modded aswell because the dog bones acually hit the top of the hole they pass through on the c-hub at full droop.If you remove the front shocks and let the suspenion hang you will understand what im trying to explain.Hope this helps because i have been borrowing ideas for my cc01s since i found this sight.
AWSOME BUILD! i love the looks of rear suspenion. super clean.

By the way i have a possible connection with a cnc machine and the owner seems to be very interested in these cc01 rigs and after the new year he may help us cc01 owners out with a steel gear cover for strength and weight up front, what do you think?

where did you get the GPM alloy steering pieces?

sounds cool but aluminum would be easier to machine and definitely strong enough for this application, weight can easily be added in other ways...

so would a fully dimensioned CAD drawing suffice...

anyway, here is a teased of the tube front bumper:

Mad4Rnr · 12-29-2009, 12:22 PM

oh yeah, also spent an hour last night sanding the ugly blue paint off the body, I woke up with smurf boogers this morning

scalerfreak · 12-29-2009, 06:13 PM

nice!

paint colored buggers seem to happen quite a bit in this hobby lol

and yes that would help greatly

Mad4Rnr · 12-30-2009, 09:47 PM

here is a shot from the back side of the bumper, there are four mounting brackets, two go into the side of the chassis down low and the the other two go in the front two holes

also got some simple sliders fab'd up today, they use stock mounting holes

lowslowTJ · 12-30-2009, 09:59 PM

Nice looking parts!

fixed13 · 12-30-2009, 10:30 PM

Nice tube work. Should look good mounted up.

Mad4Rnr · 12-31-2009, 07:36 PM

rear bumper

scalerfreak · 01-03-2010, 11:14 AM

looks dead sexy! great job

Mad4Rnr · 03-28-2010, 11:04 PM

Well I finally got motivated enough to throw some paint on the old FJ body, at first I wasn't sure what color to paint it but ended up using Mica Silver:

I think it turned out OK, just can't wait to get it all put back together

Also some paint on the bumpers and sliders

createacrawler · 03-31-2010, 05:47 PM

WOW

tpliquid · 03-31-2010, 06:46 PM

thanks man, I use 304 stainless 3/16" x 0.035" wall tubing from McMaster, p/n is 8989K21:

http://www.mcmaster.com/itm/find.asp...RCntxt=OrdHist

super strong stuff, way better than brake line

Mad4Rnr · 04-04-2010, 01:11 AM

Well it's finally time to put this build to bed. The final stage started today when I installed a 80t Integy hand wound in place of the 55t that was in there. Then I put in a new Spektrum Rx and quickly rearranged the electronics:

I also installed Losi MRC aluminum shocks all around and bolted up the bumpers and sliders, I made the little bumper skid from a Proline western bumper:

Lastly the grill, mirrors and door handles all got a coat of semi-gloss black paint:

I'll try to install some more scale goodies and get some outdoor pics soon.
