One thing that you HAVE to add to the list, before you get to far into the build is the GPM steering kit. I'd recommend getting it and installing it before you put a lot of wear and tear on the stock chassis parts. | ||

posts are adjustable a little there are fwd and rear points on the mount that you can put the posts, give you about 5mm difference, and lexan body only my second so far yet todo a hardbody...gonna pull my winch off my cr and put it on this today i think....

| A note on difflocks
don't bother with hop up part 53188...it's bollocks, as blackhawk explains here, this mod is easy and reversable (don't know why you would?) front diff lock with extra gear -> Blackfoots CC01 Project with Some simple DIY Mods can anyone recommend a good shock upgrade for more height? |

That looks really good. One thing seems out of place though is how glossy the color is (due to painting the inside of lexan). Too bad you couldnt dull that down a bit. Good call on the shorty front bumper. Looks great. Quote:

So I had the shits with all the plastic links in the rear end...  and after a few cold ones and possibly a hot one came up with this...**all parts are from cr-01 metal parts bag "C" **    Side-on backs a wee bit higher than the front now...any one got any suggestions?    and I added metal front bar and some chains....  |

Make an aluminum mount to go on the bottom of the axle so the shocks can drop back down to the stock location or as close to it as you want.

The cc-01 is still pretty fast with a 55t, if it was me I would go 45-65t, nothing lower than 45t for sure
