I was thinking the same thing today. I was bored and kept waiting for a new post or something to comment on. I'm waiting for the snow to melt so I can test out my new set up.

It sounds like it would because all the power from each esc would be going to each individaul motor. Gunch posted something about running two esc's in the thread where I was trying to decide on which esc to run. Hope this helps

He also mentions running two esc's in his post about selling his CC.

I've got back into the scale stuff so my CC is just sitting there. I thought I had it sold but looks like the deal is falling through. If anyone wants a good deal on a RTR customized CC let me know. I hope the forum keeps going. They are fun rigs.

Not dying I hope we just got one for Christmas. I just took my daughters CC and fixed the broken/pulled apart shock put some 40wt oil in and moved the upper mount back one spot and what a difference. It does not want to tip over as much but does seem to run more of a droop set up because of the leverage but seems way better. I do have more gear noise coming from the back now though I might just be noticing it now too it could have been ther the whole time???? I still have bad clod stall too.. Another ??? What links are most changing to clock the axles lowers? uppers? if either? what length are you going to? Thanks, Scott. |

| if you want to keep the same wheelbase you just need to lengthen the bottom links about 1/4 inch!!!if going longer then lengthen accordingly. i have noticed less clod stalol with the longer setups!! |

| why no love for the CC
I just finished my first CC. at $49 on tower, no way i could say no. With a stretched wheelbase, banebots and 9.6v it is a capable little rig. I someone could come up with lower gearing I think it would rock. I am building an indoor a crawler course for the CC right now for it. What are everyone's thought's on the bearing set? Brass bushings just seem odd to me. I have been running 1/8 scale nitro, so eveything has bearings. I guess with the low speed and less heat, bushings might be ok. Anyone experience issues from the bushings? |

yeah, I too use the center hole for the shocks, but I am also running full droop.

We're not gone ... I'm just spending some time finishing my creeper, then it's back to the CC for some more changes. Mostly waiting on some esc's. I ended up making new mounts for the rear and used the front holes in the front ... I think, it's been so long since the little gaffer's been out of the closet. \well, guess that means it's time to dig 'er back out. |

i tell ya'll what, my "lil duraturd" can go damn near anywhere all those comp rigs can go on the local indoor course out here. no wheel weights, no lipo, no dig and 1 esc. does she stall? of course. but if i blip the throttle she'll spin both axles. here shortly i'll be getting another fxr. then-no stall. plus i'll be able to put the 45t in my ax10 the integy 35t in there aint cutting it. the real test is gonna be against my buddys' bully- 2 teking fxr's in his. i wont try tell i get my 2nd esc though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzR6SPDEXzs Last edited by 73fordhighboy; 01-04-2010 at 11:31 PM. |

I thought about getting one because of the cheap price and just went to Tower's site. DISCONTINUED! I'm sure other places still have it. I guess the MRC cornered the market.
