i personally dont like the cliff climber. And i dont know much about it. But what i can say is, try to mount the battery lower somehow. also possibly drill holes in the rims. And maybe cut the tire foams. Post some pictures when you done setting it up. Maybe they will change the way i feel about the cliff climber


EDIT: just saw how many posts you have, and im guessing you allready though of those ideas=]

I did the following to mine:

1) Took tires off and put 3 oz of lead in front and 1 oz in rear. Replaced stock foams with memory foams.

2) Installed 11t pinion on rear motor.

3) Removed rear steer and locked it.

4) Made 7 cell pack of 2/3A cell and put on front servo.

Radio is 2 ch. Futaba. Steering servo is Hitec 645MG. ESC is Mamba 25 with Dimension Engineering BEC.

the 11t on rear help with the clod stall ? have you any issues with needing the orings in the drive cups ?

Yes, I forgot about that. I did need o-rings.

The 11t in the rear helps some. When I get time I'm going to rewire my motors. I'll run the wires from the esc to the rear motor first and then from there go to the front motor.
