CC’s Wendigo
 

I’ve been building this up over the last few evenings, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with quality of the kit, it’s a bit of a tank :mrgreen:

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Sweet!! Glad to see another one on the forums!

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

I’m very surprise these aren’t more popular, I’m keeping mine a go fast rig and I’ve just ordered the Club 5 servo relocation kit to sort out the bump steering and dipping while steering, I also plan to get another set of front shocks and to lower the truck

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Interesting... I don't have much, if any bump steer with the AR60 axle swap. I did have a little when it was on the stock axles - I mostly tuned it out with some spacers. Curious to see how it works out!

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Good luck that kit just makes things worse it introduces some bad geometry

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Shocks! I had looked at getting another set of fronts, but they are only available direct from Redcat at the moment and they want to charge a stupid amount for the shipping to the UK, so I picked up a pair of 103mm XD piggy’s, I ran these about 7 years on my Wraith and found them really good...

I’m not a fan of bling on crawlers so used normal m3 button heads instead of big red alloy bleeder screws, I’ll also change the red bump stops to smaller black Axial ones

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Nice paint job! I was almost done with my build, but broke a rear axle tip(because of the Boom Racing Krait 2.2 wheel hub extensions) and sort of got distracted with other things. I’ve since gotten the replacement axle installed, but now have to assemble a different set of beadlocks.

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Thanks, make sure you post your build when you have time "thumbsup"

Fitted a Raw 500 servo

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

I’ve recently fitted a stiffer sway bar set up and a Reefs 422hd v2 servo winch

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Leds installed and I’ve mounted a fairlead to the stock bumper

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

Cool rig, I'm considering one of these as well. I currently have a Gen 8 V1 and just got a V2. Really great, underrated rigs in my opinion.

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

You won’t be disappointed that’s for sure "thumbsup"

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

I was asked how the winch performed, so I made quick vid

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

It’s a nice looking rig, thanks for the build thread. Can’t say I haven’t been tempted, but my 2.2 rigs have mostly been collecting dust for awhile. How is the performance of the stock shocks, any leakage? How much shorter are the gmades you replaced them with?

Re: CC’s Wendigo
 

The Gmade shocks are 103mm, about the same as the stock front shocks, I never ran the stock shocks, the longer rears gave it a weird stance that I didn’t like
