After looking at other xc builds I decided to build one also. I got the body at toys r us on sale 30% off because they were closing down so i got lucky. I added the mud slingers which work very well! I also saw some of you guys make some brush guards etc, so i did some research and decided to make one for myself. This is my first attempt at making a bash guard.

I been beating this bash guard for the past 10 min on rocks etc. seems to hold up real well. I can see some small dents in it already. I think i will solder the tubes onto the plate just to make it stronger

I also managed to get full travel with this body after playing with multiple oil weights and springs. I ended up not using any oil in the shocks and using a soft spring paired up with a cut medium spring.

This is my truck before:

Truck now:

I agree though 1 spare is enough unless you're inb the Dakar Rally!

Youre not a noob, newbe is a better word for those that actually building stuff instead of asking noobish qustions all the time imo ...

Rig looks great, CC-01/XC is a great platform to work with
