| Extream CC01 Build up **New crap july 28**
This is going to be one of those builds where the updates are few and far between, but I have been wanting to really beef up my CC01 chassis for a while now, so I guess you could call this V3 of my CC. This is list of parts that I intend to purchase: Purchased Not Purchased RC4WD 45T crawler motor GPM Front knuckle arms GPM Motor Mount GPM Rear suspension links GPM steering assembly GPM center gear box mount GPM C-Hubs GPM Lower suspension arms GPM Rear damper mount GPM Front upper suspension arms GPM Light king pin for C-Hubs GPM Front Swing Shaft RC Channel skid plate RC4WD 1.9 OEM stock beadlocks black RC4WD 1.9 Mudslingers or Rock Crushers or Rok Lox RC4WD Wireless Winch RC4WD Center Hubs RC4WD 90mm internal shocks Proline Western Bumpers New Headlights and Tail lights 3Racing LED Light Bar Set Axial Fender Flares(for Rear) 3Racing Roof Rack So, alot of money and time will go into this, and hopefully I can get this truck ready for competition within the next year or so. BTW: Here is V! and V2 of the CC V1: V2: Last edited by LR3; 07-28-2010 at 05:47 PM. |

| Thanks, I don't drive this thing light. That is the great thing about CC01s. It takes a wrecking ball (or savage first grader) to destroy one. I forgot to give the specs on V2 btw so here they are: 55t motor (killed by sand) 1mm lift (= to 1 inch lift) Spare tire Losi 'Mini' Rock tires |

| Thank you It is going to be a long long long build though. I am estimating about a year of work will go into it. After that, I am getting me a SCX10 to accompany my donkey(if you saw the Top Gear Bolivian special, you know about Richard's donkey)

Did some number crunching, and if I choose the Rock Crushers or mud slingers, I need to save up atleast 409.64$, but if I go with the Rok Lox, the total will be 429.64$. So the Rok Lox are eliminated and now I have to pics between Mud Slingers and Rock Crushers. Here are also some new pics so you can kind of see what I have been doing with V1 and V2 Stuck... |

Got an email from GPM today. The motor mount and knuckle arms have been shipped. Shouldn't be too much longer before I can start getting some real updates going.

Actully there is only two. I figured that I would start a new thread instead of bump the 'introduction' thread on it. if I get it build up enough though, you may see it at a local comp next year. |

| Bring it out now? the courses we are building will not be hard, and we can even give you some setup tips with it.

| I will look into it. If I can get the parts from GPM I may just do that. The front end is broken and the motor is dead, so if those parts come in before the comp, and I can get it working, I may bring it |

While waiting for my RC4WD motor and GPM parts to get here, I decided to take care of the front brick. I fabbed up a skid plate using the bottom of an old coffee can and went to work After cutting and sanding: Primed: Also, while I had the front end off, I re-locked the front diff: Installed on the FJ: Four hours, several cuts, and several profanities later, I had this: As you can see in the above picture, the front wheels stick out in front of the skid plate, which means the approach angle is much much better, and it looks cool |

Just wondering, but how long does it typically take for RC4WD and GPM to deliver? I am just wondering when I can expect to ge them.

| RC4WD takes anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks depending on what you ordered. Even longer if it's preorder. GPM takes about 10 days to 2 weeks after you've paid. I took care of my GPM order and got it from Hong Kong in 10 days.

No real update today, but got an email from RC4WD, something wentwrong and we have to re-order the motor, ugh, but the GPM parts should be here soon, and when I can get a chance to re-order the motor, I will.

Got the 45t re-ordered just a few minutes ago, and I have started looking into GRUs. Which is better, 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1. I plan on doing scale competition level crawling and basic trail riding with my rig, so which would be best when paired with a 45t motor?
