That is the most badazzed CC for sure. Nice work! You could put a 4:1 in it for some lower gearing, but I'm sure you know that!
Can I ask how do I go about doing this type of gear reduction?

... the CC01 I have is bare bone stock, I use 16T pinions on it and it is still fast.

i was just wondering... What toy did this body come from? I really dig the looks of this and I saw a Toy that had this body at Wal-mart the other day... but it had a bunch of buttons sticking out of the roof... is that the right one, or is this a different one?

it's only been mentioned about a million times but here it goes again just for you... it came from a FASTLANE brand 1/10 scale r/c that is only available at TOYS R US (fastlane is their brand exclusively) and I promise I'm not typing this in a sarcastic frame of mind


I provide a link to the actual item just for you as well

http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index....ductId=3360322

and an image of the actual r/c that donated its body for this project

OMG THIS THING IS SICK!!! Nice work, I dont think anyone will ever build a CC01 that could even come close to holding a handle to that thing.

+1

please tell us how you like the RC Channel setup! I was looking at it today and wondering how well they made it

Unfortunately, kingcobra passed away in 2009 so there won't be any video.

Would anyone happen to know what King Cobra used for the upper arms on the front suspension? I have the current RC Channel kit for the CC01 and they don't use the same upper arm as is depicted in the pictures that I can find of this build.

I believe they were the uppers that came with the original version of the RC Channel kit. He was one of the first to do a build using the whole setup. It makes me sick that all of the build pics for this are gone now. Such a shame

I'll post pics when I get some spare time, I'll actually be starting a new thread for it as well. I think the revival of a legend deserves one. I'll be updating a few things to more Current parts like the winch and electronics but mostly it will be a disassemble, clean touch up etc deal.
