LonleyCreepers, first Cc01's

[lonleycreeper]

Understood, the rims with the link are 3mm offset, and I can get them in 6mm offset. Shown are 0offset. It clears every thing but by a hair.

[scorpion ax-10]

shoot id run the ones you have on it, those are awesome.
and about the offset, then good it all should work

Looking @ some other wheels, I may just splurge on some 5lug wheels http://www.rpphobby.com/v/vspfiles/p...4Z-W0038-2.jpg . In a scale buildIt really bugs me when a Lr/Rr or Ford, or Dodge, or Jeep have 6lug rims,when they are supposed to have 5lugs. The suspension set ups bug me to but I will let this rig slide. Lr3's are supposed to be ifs/irs.

I personally am not a fan of those "dish" style rims, i dont really care for the look and i think they are overused . especially on a scale vehicle, as in the 1:1 world i almost never see them.

that 5-lug thing gets at me too.

if you really want all I.S. take the front from your other CC-01 and do some "Afro Engineering" then presto all I.S. CC-01. lol.

Yeah I am having a really hard time finding rims I like, the "tango downs are ok. I really like the pro10's but they are 6lug again. I may have to modify the wagons I have and turn them into 5 lugs. http://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/rc4z-w0005.htm maybe these ones...

HOLY PRICE TAG....

but they would look tough as hell

[lonleycreeper]

Finally found some rims I like w 5lugs.




4x hot racing 3piece beadlocks for $37 bare steel, I think I am going to give these a shot.

Those rims look great. You might wantot look into shorter tires though. The Flat irons are look really tall on there. If you do decide to keep them check fender flares out.

Yeah I am going to reuse the rc4wd mud slingers on the Hr rims with my sidi flares

[scorpion ax-10]

Excellent find on those rims.

[lonleycreeper]

Thanks man, C.K.R.C apearantly is a bad word, wont let me post the link.
Got alot done today...
Made a new 4link system, axle brackets and chassis mounts. Painted the body to, just need to sand it and respray again.

[scorpion ax-10]

beautiful color choice.

im really liking the axle mounts for the 4-link, what did you use to make them?

[lonleycreeper]

Thanks forthe suggestion on color, I like it to. I should have sprayed the body black before laying down this paint though. It has a color shift to purple with the maroon under the blue. The I kinda like it and will post pics in the sun when I get everything together

The axle link mounts are 1/2" steel square tubing I cut down. Links are made from 0.35 x 3/16" aluminum tube taped to 6/32 threads with axial rod ends taped to the same. Chassis side mounts are just aluminum angle with some holes drilled.

[scorpion ax-10]

I see some of that purple you're talking about now, i like it, a LOT. and i will definatly have to remember that axle mounting idea, thanks

[lonleycreeper]

Put the body together and took some shots outside.
Still need to glue the fender flares on and make some bumpers and body mounts.
