Out of the box steering is going to be an issue. Adjust the upper or lower links to make sure the front knuckles are parallel to the ground. That will be the biggest/easiest performance upgrade.

Are you going with the RTR or the ARTR?

it runs off of 14.4-16.8v. also it needs the mini connector on the battery that the vendetta, rc18t, or the hpi micro rs4 uses. all of these connectors are the same but not labeled that they will work. I have 2 Venom 1200mah packs and I get around an hour + out of one run.

Deans Micro connectors (avail at your LHS) will plug into the motor connectors on the CC.
It is missing the little snap on the connector, but mine have not come loose yet.

locking the rear steering and removing the srevo made the biggest difference for me. also swaping the hubs left and right so the small end is down will give u a little more clearence. i have had mine for a week and int went from find the perfect line to try and get it stuck. ive been reading all the threads for this truck and it has helped alot. thanks rccrawler members
