| 6x6 Cliff climber build
So I know that CC's are not the best crawlers, but I did like how my comp cc climbed, so with the comp rig and stock rig that I have I decided to start a project build that I've wanted to do for years. A 6X6 CRAWLER! so heres the start of the build. Any and i mean ANY info/input would be helpful. comp rig on right longer rear links to spread the wheelbase out a bit- a dirty mock up to see if I can use the stock chassis but it looks like im going to have to make one. Plans are to build chassis to make shocks vertical space axles properly use a pickup cab only and fab up a flatbed, not sure if im going to change the electronics but it will be 6WD and 6WS. |

Cool project and probably inexpensive with how cheap you can pick these up for.

No the front axel is on one esc the back 2 are on a seperate esc...and yes inexpensive because i traded a 1/16th slash for the 2 CC and a Axial AX10.

Why don't you go 8x8, at least i would and would like to, you already have the axle so why not just mount it up to the front? Otherwise cool build, have you made anymore progress? nic |

To simplify the frame set up,I would just run a pair of straight rails,would be much easier to set up.Also what kind of body were you thinking for the final build?

Might as well you could run the front two together using a y harness and the rear two the same way. Will you have independent steering front and back? or will they all just turn together? I toyed around with a 12x12 concept in drawings but never got around to building it, or buying more axles . Maybe one day i will try with Rs10 axles as they are stronger and easier to get. Good luck, to bad cliff climbers have pretty much died, i always wanted them to do good. Oh well.

12 x 12 would be nuts. I do have 6 CC axles, but it would require dismantling my kids functioning CC. Long live the Cliff Climber!!! | |

It will be cool no matter what you decide on, i wouldn't dismantle your kids one unless they want a 12x12 Good luck |

| It's on my to-do list. I need to wrap up a maxx super that's almost done, then get started on a 1/6 F350 project, and then I'll start on this. I was just planning to cut out a quick cutting board frame, make some quick delrin rod links and at least get it to roller status.
