Default Help for my CC 1.9 Comp Rig

Hello to all CC fans,

the German rules allowed MOA for the 1.9 Comp.

That is why I search for shorter Axle Shafts.

Knows somebody which shorter Axle Shafts fit for the CC?

Thanks a lot

I dont think to CC is comp legal. The rules state one trans, one motor.

your looking to narrow the shafts? I think it you know someone with some tallent with a welder, you could just cut, bevel, weld, and grind them smooth to change the length, or depending on the way they spline into the locker, you might be able to cut it down and grind a new spline in, pics of a cliff climber axle shaft might be helpful.

The inside of the shafts that slide in the spool are dog bone. I'm a welder and could do it, but he lives over the pond. The shipping would be pricy.

Have you already swapped out the wide cliffclimber hexes for some narrow ones like from an axial or the like? Then you can either run spacers on the outside of the rims to take up the length, or you can swap in axial stub shafts which are shorter.

I always though it would be cool to allow in 1.9 but I don't make the rules.

Default I've got it!

I got the solution from greasypete who built this Scaler on CC MOA axles.

OMG ! A scale Cliff Climber ?


He changed the orignal Axle shafts with AX10. That's fits!
Many thanks to all

I had a cliff climber project
I planned to run a belt from the front to the rear alxe(only one motor)

The narrowing of the axles was something I thought about
Let me see if I can find my notes from that build.

I think I had a pretty simple way to do it.

Ok,for starters


The collars are a part of the axle housing

But there is room on the collar to move the knuckle in closer
(about 3-4mm) and redrill the collar to fit.

Now your knuckle will hit the axle housing prematurely

I was planning on using a set of strc axial knuckles
They will fit according to my notes with little work

These knuckles should regain that steering lost.
You could also try some high steer knuckles for a ax10

the spot where the axles bolt together right behind the collar,That is where the knuckle hits.
I planned to file lightly on the knuckle/axle to help gain some extra steering also.

Now the hex as slow crawl mentioned are HUGE
that to will save some space.

The axle itself is not a real issue.

Since there is no bearing within the axle that carries the axle

if you use dog bones on the axle knuckle
You can use solid steel rod of around 6mm width
then cut to fit and drill the ends to insure a tight fit for new pins.

If your gonna use cvd for the axial,then you will have to work with
that material
still to cut,drill for a new pin isnt that hard to do


In my notes a 6.5" measurement from outside of hex to out side of hex was
possible IMO.

hope this helps
