CC-01/XC owners.... Please read.

[toyofast]

I know this doesn't contain any real "tech" but since this is a closer net group of users in this part of RCC, I wanted to have every CC-01/XC chassis user to help me get GPM to produce nifty aluminum parts. I have already sent them a email about wanting to see aluminum upgrades as well as important steering replacement parts made in aluminum!

I have gotten a response back and they said they would look into the CC-01/XC based platforms BUT I want everyone to send them a message to think about making steering parts!! If someone can do it, I'm sure GPM can.

Go to this page, fill out the info and make sure you let them know that the CC-01 is worth their time to produce parts! I want a steering system!

http://gpmracing.com.hk/catalog/order.php

Make sure you let GPM know that the CC-01 rig is popular enough to make parts for!!!



So far here's where we sit...

(thanks constantmotion, for nice snappy of the list)

[constantmotion]

Done "thumbsup"

[jinspade]

Erm... what should i say there? I'm not really good with words :oops:

[cartronicshn]

Done"thumbsup"

[MassCrawler]

ok, Done Id like to see them produce some goodies for the CC01 also!

[run2jeepn]

Done deal.

[FuriousCal]

Done also. Way to rally the troops Toyofast!

[SoCalMike]

What they said "thumbsup"

[toyofast]

Thanks guys! I really hope they start to make anything for the CC-01/XC chassis vehicles. Even if it's just stock replacement parts for bling, it'll be options for us to choose from. Plus, plastic parts suck.

[62PYRO]

Done just for you.:D
I'm really hoping to see what they come up with.

[pardonmyn00b]

Did it

[constantmotion]

Got this email from them tonight.....


Thank you for your enquiry to us.

In these days, we have received a lot of enquiries about Tamiya CC-01, now we are waiting for the car to arrive in our office and then we will transfer it to our own factory to make options. The steering knuckles, assembly, shocks will be fast to come.

We hope the car will be arrived to us within this week, and so we can get started as soon as possible and then we hope to have some options out at the end of August.

If you have more ideas to us of what are great to make first or special design of any parts out of original design, please feel free to send to me.

Recently, we have parts for the Tamiya Land Cruiser CR-01, do you play this car as well ? I attach to you here pricelist and photos of the parts we make and we have a lot more to come for this model soon !!


:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P

[toyofast]

That's what I'm talking about!!

Way to go RCC members!!!!

[pantablo]

I got the same email. someone please forward them the bearing race steering mod so they can produce lots of kits. My servo mod may be too much for them/most owners.

metal trans and diff gears!
metal lower link kits!

edit:
my reply:
Thank you for your reply Clara.
I do not drive the cr-01. All my trucks are custom, but I have recently discovered the cc-01 and absolutely love it. So scale and capable with only a few flaws.

The weak parts of the cc-01, and areas where there is the greatest market for replacement upgrade parts are few but significant.

First, The steering is horribly sloppy. If replacement parts could be fabricated that eliminated the slop it would be great. This would mean new bell crank possibly with bearings and new linkages to the knuckles. The knuckles also have a great deal of slop in them so that would be great.

Second, the rear links are very flexible and weak. If you came up with a replacement aluminum kit, that were round like typical links, that would stiffen up the rear quite a bit.

Additionally, many owners add a chassis lift. You could make a kit, including all the 11 spacers one would need (thickened washers really) of 3-5mm each that would be useful.

Also useful would be slightly longer A-arms so that owners could add longer shocks and get more lift and more travel at the front, which is a limiting factor.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

[2500hdon37s]

glad to hear there will be more hop up parts for the cc-01

[run2jeepn]

Just sent them more info.. Got the same E-Mail as well.

[pantablo]

I just got this back:
Dear Mr...,

Thanks so much for your detailed explanation. I will let you know when the parts actually released. If I have any questions, I should ask you at once.

Best Regards
Clara

[62PYRO]

I got the same email also.Seems like they might actually listen to peoples wants."thumbsup"

[BoredGord]

This is awesome news. it's not often that a company will listen to a handful of people. yet to say they're tooling up and will have option parts within what looks like 60 days, amazing. I have some GPM parts for my other vehicles and I like them. I like their Ti. stuff too. w00t "thumbsup"

[cartronicshn]

Yup, got the same e-mail from Clara, funny thing is i am actually tempted into getting all that bling for my cr-01:mrgreen:, good thing is we are getting responses from them, that means they are actually listening"thumbsup"

[TrickyNickro]

Oh so that's what that Clara email was.... I saw the attachment and just deleted it. You can't be too safe, you know.

[tpliquid]

i bought some of their stuff

www.asiatees.com has good prices

[trailduster79]

Just sent them an email.

[toyofast]

Lets keep it going guys!!


Talk about listening to the people! Dang!

[trailduster79]

I got this response back this morning!

Dear Mr Michael Stallings,

[schlabinski]

Inquiry submitted. Toyo, thanks for finding this and encouraging all of us to contact them.

[BigBoy]

I just did my part! I would love to get my hands on an aluminum steering set up with bearings and nice rear links!!!!!!

[hamnet]

Hey guys, you are doing a great job on this! "thumbsup" Let's just make sure that GPM knows for sure that the steering kit is the primary concern-

[squatch71]

Got 'er did...

Don't really like this statement.."do you play this car as well ?" I know I know..some people don't understand...you play with a dog...you Run RC...

anyway, hope good things come out of this..I to am in need of some steering...also said maybe some lower links or even traction type ladder lower and upper rear links...

good idea Toyofast!!!!!

[toyofast]

good idea Toyofast!!!!!



Thanks but all I did was turn the key.... you guys are the engine. Just glad I was part of it.

[BGGruff]

Man that's awesome! Hopefully these parts will be out soon so everyone can gtet the much need upgrades. I haven't ever delt with GPM until now. Great work everyone!"thumbsup"

[pantablo]

Don't really like this statement.."do you play this car as well ?" I know I know..some people don't understand...you play with a dog...you Run RC...

you play with toys...

[4drmopar]

well, I just got the email that the truck just arrived and are ramping up production after test fitting all teh parts they have that might fit. :) They are doing the knuckles and universals first

[pantablo]

sweet!

[constantmotion]

Now if we can just get a US distributor for GPM.

[toyofast]

Now if we can just get a US distributor for GPM.

I know my local hobby shop stocks several GPM products. I know Gerrish would bring in CC-01 GPM products.

[tpliquid]

should ask rpphobby to stock them also

[squatch71]

you play with toys...

my point exactly....

[MassCrawler]

got the same form letter also, I went one further to explain some of the mods that we are suggesting. Lets see what email is sent this time.

[khj94704]

awesome, so it will increase the steering throw?

[jinspade]

I can sense a lot of good stuffs coming out of this "thumbsup"

[toyofast]

Bump this to the top to get more people spreading the word!!

[Flowmastered87GL]

Done... asked for knuckles (the blue thingies... I think thats their technical name) and steering stuff with more precision. Ball bearing steering like on my RC-10 team car would rock.... hmmmm wonder if I could adapt it....

[Junkz0r]

Hi everyone!

This is my first post here!

I think this is a great idea and I too sent email requesting some hop up options for the CC01 chassis, particularly steering and suspension.

Great little model with so much potential yet so little performance upgrades.

:D

[BCBoulders]

Request sent. Steering parts and rear suspension links etc.

[montana.matt]

Done done and done"thumbsup"
Thanks for getting the ball rolling, toyo!

[SMUDGEBUG]

Done, thanks for making this possible Toyo. Its always nice to have options avaliable

[the_ghetto_rig]

Request sent!

[Nitro_Geezer_UK]

Done it!!

[Nitro_Geezer_UK]

do you think we could get them to make cvd's as well?

[vipxj]

Ive sent email,fingers crossed. Tanks toyo.

[toyofast]

do you think we could get them to make cvd's as well?

They already make universals that bolt in, intended for another application but are a direct fit for the CC-01 rigs... just needs to be made out of steel rather than aluminum..........


GPM aluminum universals, approx 30 minutes of use:

[Junkz0r]

I received an email from GPM

Thank you very much for your email to GPM Racing.

Yes, we will plan for parts for Tamiya CC01 and anything updated will be sent for you.

Besides of CC01, will you interest in another model parts that make for Tamiya?


How polite and helpful! Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

[constantmotion]

[constantmotion]

Are there any pics? cant see any on their website!

They haven't put them up for sale yet....they are giving us first dibs at them.

I have requested some pics of the parts.....would like to see what the steering assembly is exactly.

[Nitro_Geezer_UK]

SWEET!
Whats the part number for the cvds that Toyofast uses, they would probably last more than 30mins in my rig

[constantmotion]

The ones he bought was TA2243B....it's the same ones listed. They did find out which parts are interchangeable....knuckles, kingpins for OEM C's, hexes, front knuckle.

I just don't see the kingpins for the Alloy knuckles and C's.

[toyofast]

I didn't get CVD's from GPM... they were the aluminum universals. Honestly, I'd pass on them. The weight and use of our CC-01's is totally different than an on-road car, which they are intended. If GPM were to make those universals in steel rather than aluminum, I think they'd have a winner!

I've had better luck with the Yeah Racing CVD's holding up to abuse.

[tpliquid]

yea i herd those gpm universals break easily on the road drift cars.

hopefully the steer assembly is not just a replacement of original but one with bushings or bearing

[constantmotion]

I didn't get CVD's from GPM...

May not have gotten them from GPM but you had the GPM branded Universals for RCMart....at least that is what I got from your post.

UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!!


Got the GPM Racing TA02 Universals and holy crap... they are a direct replacement to the stock parts, no bearings needed or different knuckles required. They fit like they were made for the CC-01 setup.

[tpliquid]

I dont see the ta02 universals on rcmart. the yea racing ones.

[constantmotion]

I have these. They are not a direct drop in replacement. They are steel. They are longer than the stock setup. You will have to get these knuckles (http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-ta01-ta02-yeah-racing-aluminum-front-knucle-ta01006-p-27491.html) for them to work.

[tpliquid]

ahh so its the TA01 set. That will increase the offset and make wheels wider no?

Correct. I have the GPM aluminum(blue) universals. Broke those after 30 minutes. The Yeah Racing CVD's are still hold strong and allow for more steering thanks to the TA02 knuckles and the CVD design.

Here are the front knuckles. I am working with GPM to get some pics of the steering assembly. They haven't been produced yet. I did advise them that we are wanting bearings on the steering shaft and sent them some pics for an example.

[toyofast]

I'm really hoping that the steering that they produce isn't just alloy bits that really don't solve the poor design thanks to Tamiya.

I also have sent them an email and images of my busted GPM alloy universals, letting them know that since they were designed for an on-road car, they won't stand up to off-road use.

[tpliquid]

hopefully they do make some beefed up steering assembly. I wouldnt have to spend my $ on machine shop to make me one that I drew up last week.

[trailduster79]

I responded with an order for two sets of the steering assemblies. I hope they are what we wanted!

well here are some ta01 knuckles that i found on gpm's site...said that they are made by them...

I have these. They are not a direct drop in replacement. They are steel. They are longer than the stock setup. You will have to get these knuckles for them to work.

[tpliquid]

have they sent any pics of the steer kit?

Probably a little late but sent in a request for up grades as well :ror:

I received an email back from GPM with the details of the pre-order and a picture of the steering parts. I will post the pic as soon as I get to a computer. I can't post it from my blackberry.

It looks like it is exactly what we are asking for.

they are asking for half the cost up front as a deposit and the remaining half when they ship out. And as stated before, they are offering 15 percent off for those of us who contacted them about producing these pieces.

I was told that they should start shipping in november.

Again I will post the pic as soon as I can.

At this point I really don't care if they steal the pics or ideas, I just want the parts!

hear hear. i hope they make it out of a strong alloy though, i'd pay more than $13 if they're built to last. i've seen too many people complaining about their cvd's snapping on sites like rctech. btw, i got a message from clara when i filled out their web form a few months ago but never got the recent message promising me 15% off. how do i get in on that goodness, i could use that money to support my caffeine habit!

[crunky]

that would be awesome.

15% off. how do i get in on that goodness, i could use that money to support my caffeine habit!

i would order two sets !

[Sasquatchbagger]

Clara from GPM emailed me a list of the products they will be offering for the CC-01 and they included a lot of other parts besides the Steering assembly set....
On the Alloy C hub and suspension arms....are they an exact copy of the original without any mods? In other words installing these alloy suspension arms and c hubs would put the cc-01 back at its stock height and clearance?
I tried looking at the website for photos of the parts but I cant find any...

[crunky]

i have to say the customer service at this company rocks, i too got an email back from clara.
i have been discussing how we use our trucks, and how some of us are using department store bodies on the chassis, creating the need for adjustable wheel bases. i explained the use or desire for a new propeller shaft, and a 4 link kit is on the list she said.
they are very quick to respond and are eager to learn more about our wants/needs.

i have pre ordered the steering setup.
very cool info.
"thumbsup"

[Zod Rhombus]

Wow. This kind of grassroots participation is why I like this hobby so much, and crawling in particular.

Toyofast told me to get a CC-01 a while back and I hesitated. Gotta find one now. I just can't wait anymore.

[Junkz0r]

Has anyone gotten any firm dates from GPM yet? I received an email from then a day or so ago advertising new beadlock wheels, but I haven't heard anything more about the CC-01 parts.

I'm getting to the point where I'm gonna have to jury-rig my own steering setup because the stock steering slop is just unacceptable.

[Sasquatchbagger]

I ordered two sets and Clara said they will ship out before end of Oct. They are off for a few days now as theres a Holiday in HK right now...

[jeepjames87]

Any news on steering set ups!

[crunky]

yea contact them monday with that link that toyo put up in post one.

tell them what you want.
chances are you are going to pay full tilt...
a whopping 13 bucks !

If you want a new propellor shaft/driveshaft... get a trans/wheel driveshaft from an Emaxx or Tmaxx...

This thread is awesome. I never thought we'd be able to make this happen.


Next we need to get them to make a full aluminum chassis and top transmission cover... never have gears slip again due to chassis flex!:D

Hi guys, great info on this thread, just what I needed...
After lots of searching the internet I found this steering replacement on a German website, looks quite sturdy but very pricy!

I herd a rumor that these weren't available anymore, and here in Australia that 50 euros is almost 100 bux!! Way too steep for what it actually is.

[crunky]

don't worry, just wait.
i have the feeling that there will be many new and exciting options available soon... and then when the other companies see the attention drawn to these particular items, they will offer their own versions.
sorta like 3racing...
:shock:

[toyofast]

Got my stuff paid... now the waiting begins!"thumbsup"

[trailduster79]

I paid the deposit on mine. A total of 15 bucks for two sets, so the total will be 30 bucks shipped for two steering sets. Can't beat that!

[Junkz0r]

Do you guys have an order number or anything for the steering kit? I haven't had any mail from them since the 'thanks for your input' email I originally got and can't find any info about cc-01 parts on their site.

[trailduster79]

The part number she gave me is CC048

I just paid the last half of my deposit and was told that the parts will ship next week!

[hollywood2979]

This is some of the work I've done on mine with alum. parts that are produced by ATI Performance and also RC Channel, and some hand made parts, Im sure if you give some input as to what you would like to see, I can see what we can get done. I also put in an MIP drive shaft, I feel I would rip the motor out before the drive shaft lets go.

ok, so did anyone else notice, or care,that GPM is charging 9% to use PayPal?? WTH?!?!?!?! I thought that was against PayPal's policy of use?? Anyone else pay this not paying attention??

[toyofast]

Didn't notice... and really, if the parts are decent enough, I could care less. No one else is making cool parts aimed at the CC-01 rigs. I have spent too much already on parts to try that I thought would work.


edit:

I went and looked at my PayPal account. Perhaps it's just me but I don't see this "9% fee" to use PayPal. Where did you see this anyway? Did you use PayPal funds, transfer funds or pay via credit card through PayPal?

[Junkz0r]

Whoa! 9% of the total order cost for 'paypal fees' ???

Christ it's cheaper to just pay by CC if that's the case. I would certainly enquire about that number.

[4drmopar]

when they eailed you a bill for the parts to prepay, they gave you an email from them direct, thats whee it was listed in teh price breakdown... the email from PayPal just lists the overal price..

[goobs]

ok im still lost, maybe i read over it or something, but can someone post a link to where i can pre order the steering kit.

please and thanks"thumbsup"

[crunky]

i dont think its actually listed on the site, but if you fill out that inquiry form on the first post and tell them what you want there will be an email coming your way from clara.

i have been chatting with clara, and i have expressed many more ideas for these chassis. expect to see a few more items coming out in the next couple of months. one of the items they will be also offering is the drive shafts with slip joints. we also have been talking about aluminum wheels. she has also questioned me about the need for longer a arms.

can't wait to see how these parts come out, i think mine ships today.

[tpliquid]

I got some stuff drawn for the chassis. I was gonna buy a vendor star but it seems like gpm will be making more stuff so i duno now. heh

[trailduster79]

Yes, the 9% is on the bill she emailed you.

With the 15% off I got I am not worried about it. I still got two steering sets for 30 bucks shipped to my door. Can't beat that!

[BoltSpeedman]

great finally someone is making this

[Bok]

Anyone receive theirs yet? I want to see the steering parts first before I order "thumbsup"

[[707]KRU]

i just sent them a message so i hope this will help cause i am with you my steering sucks

i have broken 2 steering parts this week no joke i am tired of it but maybe this will make a huge change in the cc -01 line

[Junkz0r]

Well I got a reply from Clara with the pricelist. She also mentioned how there had been a large number of people contacting GPM regarding CC-01/XC parts and they seem very eager to satisfy everyone!

I've placed an order for CVDs, cups and steering unit. I hope they're all everyone hopes them to be!

[Nitro_Geezer_UK]

anyone got any pics of the parts yet?

[trailduster79]

Got an email Monday with a tracking number! My parts are on the way!!!

[Sasquatchbagger]

I tracked mine and they just shipped the parts out today....soonest will probably be a week before it gets here...
What color did you guys get? I got a set of red and a set of silver steering assembly.

[cricco]

Hello,
does anyone knows how much it costs to receive it in France?

[Flowmastered87GL]

This looks pretty sweet, I am in talks to order it.

and its so dirt cheap I could care less if they charge to use paypal.... paypal charges them so why not?

[tpliquid]

thats a pretty nice kit. looks like they fix the issues i had with RC4wd set. I wonder if someone sent the pics i made to them?

Yum yum yum cant wait to actually try it out!

I heard back from Clara again last night, she informed me that the steering kit and the front cups will ship mid november, but the CVD's won't be ready til december...

I'm still placing my order!

Yeah, PayPal fee of less than $2 talk about breaking the bank. For under $18 you get all that is pictured, you'd be almost silly to pass up that deal.

Talk about an awesome response from a company that listens to the people. And to think.... the CC-01/XC chassis rigs have been out for more than 20 years and now there is a kit to replace the worst designed part in the whole rig.

I applaud GPM for their superior response to our needs. Thanks Clara and other GPM employees!!!

I lost the emails from Clara somewhere. Are ya'll emailing her your order or going through their site to place an order?

Initially she sent me a PayPal invoice, I paid. Then once they were being packaged for shipping, I was asked to pay the remaining balance. One of the easiest transactions.

Oh ok....I never told her exactly what I wanted before. I have submitted my wanted list on their site through an order form. We'll see.

[constantmotion]

I got an email back from Clara about my order. She informed me that they now have the Universals in steel....#SCC245. Got my order placed for these and the steering kit. I will wait for the other pieces when they hit full production here soon.

They expect the knuckles to be in the HK by next week and the C's are still in the sample process and expect to receive them in about 2 weeks. Once they get these, then they can get them into mass production.

[crunky]

i got my shipping confirm in yesterday my steering parts have been shipped !

i am working with clara on a few other items as well.
pretty soon we are going to have a hooked up little rig.

This is a really good upgrade for any stock XC steering especially for the price...and not having to hunt down all the parts to do the mod.
Initially I had some problems after installing the kit, it was binding a little and I realized it was the screw on the right steering arm(the one right in front of the drive shaft). It was rubbing against the chassis and took it apart and replaced the stock spacer/washer (shown in pic #3) in its original location and its all good to go!

[Junkz0r]

Looks awesome, has it tightened up the steering a buttload or what?

You gotta get rid of those stock links too mate, they are sloppy as hell. I used some turnbuckles with traxxas ends, heaps better and adjustabler!

[Sasquatchbagger]

Its gotten rid of all the slop...nothing could be better "thumbsup".

[trailduster79]

Sweet! Mine should be here very soon. Can't wait to get them installed!

[trailduster79]

Got both of my steering sets in the mail today!!

Will get at least one installed tomorrow!

Can't wait.

[trailduster79]

defintely an easy install. Just installed my first set. will test it out tomorrow and see how it does.

I will hopefully install my second set tomorrow.

The best 30 bucks I have spent in a while!

[toyofast]

Mine is here too. Too much nugget mania right now to even put it in.

Thats awesome, now where on the website can I order thes parts I don't see them listed.... a link wouild be nice plz and thank you "thumbsup"

Read the first post in this thread again, it tells you how to contact them and there is a link posted.

[Redronin]

ok I'll just send an email then, I thought that they would have a order/shopping cart set up to make it easy

[bad67dart]

Please go back to page 1 and read the first thread. There you will find the info.

How do you buy these new and improved steering links? Email them? huh? whats the part number?

EDIT***

I did read the front page a bit slower and sent off an email. :)

Just ordered the steering kit and knuckles! Great find!

Guys,

Thank you for starting this program and getting quality parts made for the XC-CC chassis.

I currently have one in my garage and will be adding another "thumbsup" with all the cool hop-ups!


Thanks,

[Junkz0r]

I received my steering kit and knuckles this week, very good quality work from the looks and will isntall them this weekend.

I think I may have gotten the first gen steering kit but I'm confident the top bit wont wear out as quick as toyo's as I'm not as abusive ;)

Hey!:mrgreen:

Mine actually had slop at the time of install, just became much more noticeable after the first pack ran through it. I'd recommend not using the supplied GPM hardware, Phillips head screws suck. Get some nice stainless hex hardware. Use lock tight on the lower screw as it's not as easy to re-tighten after the lower suspension is installed.... although I did drill a couple of holes through the lower suspension part to be able to keep the steering tight. Since I am known to "break" things.

[Sasquatchbagger]

I had the same problem...slop developed after awhile and I noticed it was the screws that loosened...I am gonna re-tighten them and add thread lock as of right now..

[crunky]

i will relay the info to CLara.

also...

Does anyone know if any US distributors are gonna carry this line? Any talks of vendors here carrying these?

[toyofast]

Does anyone know if any US distributors are gonna carry this line? Any talks of vendors here carrying these?

If they did... I doubt they'd want to. The price you pay when buying direct from GPM is crazy low. If imported to the US through a dealer, prices would have to go up. Most would wind up loosing. Shipping from China takes only about 4-8 days at the most, at least to me, on the West Coast.

[grimgard]

I pestered the Mods into making this a sticky! woo hoo! Still waiting on my parts.

I walked away for a wile and figured it out, thanks

[grimgard]

Mine is instaled exactly like Toyofasts and one of the screw heads would hit the chassis every time it turned. I have everything as tight as I can get it so I took an X-Acto knife and lightly scraped some plastic off the chassis (aprox 1mm) and it works great. I also used GPM's knuckles and they are a perfect fit!

[skorpionpride]

Hi to everybody.
I sent an e-mail to Clara asking her for the gpm parts for the cc01 . She told me that I will have to buy them on their dealer in spain -trp- but they didn't have in stock yet:evil: and I NEED THE PARTS:mrgreen:
I will need the steering kit and the cvd's. Does anybody know where i can buy this parts? I want not to buy on trp because if the real price of the steering kit is 13$, they will sell for more money as they usually do (for example with the rims for the hpi baja that costs 75$ some online stores, they sell for 110$ plus shipping:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil: :evil:)

Please need HELP"thumbsup"

[Sasquatchbagger]

Mine was starting to have some slop in it...so I took it apart and realized the screws were coming loose...so I reinstalled everything using blue threadlock. Also if you modded your xc front independent suspension so they have more lift, the steering links will hit the chassis or the bottom plate, mine was and I had to shave off some plastic on the bottom piece. It now turns better, but somehow it still has some slop in it...not a lot but maybe 3mm...anyone has this problem?

What knuckles, carriers and axles are you running? I have zero interference issues except at full compression of the front suspension. I loose about 2-3mm of up travel.

Yes, I noted the slop issue to Clara in a few emails and was told the units being produced after November will be slightly modded to fix the issue. Not sure if it happened, maybe I need to order another kit just to compare. I replaced all the GPM hardware with my own button head 3mm hardware. It looks better and just made me happy. I'd recommend to all to use lock-tight on at least the lower screw that attaches to the main shaft.

I'm positive that the slop is coming from the top and bottom arms where they attach to the shaft. 1, there is not enough material for the two(shaft and arm) to mate together and make a nice tight fit. 2, it never should have been a 3 piece design for that. Should have had the lower arm and shaft be one solid unit and the top arm be separate. Doing so would remove a problem area.



I attached the only issue I have with the steering kit.... limits my up travel but I can live with it. I have added a couple of spacers to take up some of the gap to help.

Hmm...I wonder if we should contact clara to see if they would send us the replacement parts? Since we were the guinea pigs lol :)
But yea that part should have been a solid piece...

For the $13, I don't think we need to ask for free parts. All we have to do is send her an email showing the issues we've come across and what we think would help solve the possible issue(s). Clara and GPM have been super with customer responses and support.

We know how to fix them, JB-weld or good lock-tight will get the job done... That's my thoughts.

[mix237]

Got my Steering kit recently and installed it at once. Really really works so fine!"thumbsup"

Just to add, I already ballraced my steering before so I didnt need to use the supplied bearings anymore, but still it was a perfect fit. Just needed to add some spacers. The GPM upgrade works so so much better than what I did!

Hats off to Toyofast.

I ended up installing this setup with a set of GPM knuckles at the same time... so its hard to tell how much each piece improved the setup, but BEST UPGRADE EVER! "thumbsup"

[Junkz0r]

Has anyone received their CVD's yet? I got mine today and they look pretty tight.

Have yet to install them into the GPM alu knuckles. ( I been slack and working on my SCX10) :mrgreen:

[crunky]

you got your cvd's already ?

i am on hold till the 27 of jan.

[tpliquid]

Im gonn have to order 4-5 sets of those CVDs

[rc_dirtslinger]

I just ordered the steering kit since all you guys said it will improve on the slop. But I was also wondering if anyone has just tried the knuckles themselves to see if they also work out some of the slop also? Or will I be happy enough with just the steering kit? Don't really want to spend money on something that I reallly don't have too.

[tpliquid]

I say the steer kit will improve the slop alot. You will be able to see a difference

If your thinking of buying one of their steering kits then do so with confidence.

Clara and the GPM team are top notch and once my credit card recovers I will be buying some more upgrades from them "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

Do you think we can get GPM to make for us an aluminum motor mount? I have the stock silvercan in mine and with both diffs locked, the motor gets really hot (even with a heatsink). An aluminum motor mount can help dissipate some heat and ensure proper gear mesh at all times :) Maybe we can even get them to use a sliding method so we can use pinions other than the 16T and 20T

Don't buy it from FleaBay and give your money to GPM. The more we buy from them the more parts (new and old) they will make for the CC-01

For the 3 dollar price difference it's better to support the companies that support you.

[pardonmyn00b]

I still have intense slop in my steering after installing the gpm kit. It's on a new cc01 by the way so nothing is blown out. Everything is good up top, but down in the lower regions it's slop city. Can't even drive in a straight line it's all over the place. I know some of it is coming from the stock links, but still lot's coming from somewhere else.

[tpliquid]

If anyone interested I got alot of these aluminum servo mounts made.

I have more stuff for the cc01 but need to sell these first then i can put out more upgrades.
