I have just bought a CliffClimber from Tower attracted by the very low price.
I'm starting to think about mod for transforming it into a good crawler as my TLT.
I'll stay with the standard motors but I'll use two microSidewinder (so I'll have the dig

and a better control on the front and rear axle) with a 3s Lipo.
I'll change the links with revo pushrod which are 124 mm eye to eye in order to have a greater weelbase.
Last I'll mount 2.2 rims with Panther Cougar from my TLT.

Do you think I'm on the right way or is there something wrong with the setup I have in mind ?

Thanks for any suggestions
Filippo

Sounds good to me.

Try it out and see.

You just gave me an idea

I didn't want to tear apart any of my current models, but since the E-Revo is sitting moveless, battery-less

Why not take cough(4) of it's pushrods. One is a little bent, like bent links

LOL

BTW, just got mine today, and i love it

Both axles need to be clocked for proper steering tho

Guess i need to order the red "upgrade" pushrods for the revo, so i can use these on the CC

My cc has revo pushrods and AX10 tires and wheels, bought it like that on ebay. Wish it would hurry up and get to my house I wanna see how it runs.

J.C. I'm loving mine

Had trouble to initially make it run

But it's aaaight now. Tomorrow i'm gonna go out for a spin. Wonder how much runtime would my elite 1400's give me... :?
