| how flexible is your cc01?
hello all CC01 fans i am looking for ways to increase the flex to the CC01 after some research most of you guys add a drop link to rear suspension mount however its rare to found what have been done to the front suspension in my opinion a long lower arm may not be a good idea since a too low C hub resulting the dog bone tilting but the stock chassis refraining the c hub to "go higher" unless you cut that out please generously share your ways on how to improve cc01's front flex thanks a lot |

Because there isn't much that can be done unless you want to rebuild it from scratch. There are a few tips floating around - on my rigs I just grind a little bit off the C and the suspension arm to clearance them for a little more downtravel. Have to be careful, too much and it can bind at the dogbone. On my last 2 I didn't even bother - front has ok travel for the size of the rig, I focused more on the rear. I can get about 3.5" of total twist ....I'm fine with that. Last edited by OSRC; 04-22-2014 at 06:44 AM. |

If the tires are too big, you might want to add some spacers between the chassis and the suspension mounts. Did this in my FJ Cruiser build and also shaved a few mm off the fenders |

Do some digging around, some people are using a drop-link set-up on the rear shocks for the mounting point and getting more droop.

Build thread for some of my latest: CC01 Fest..3 builds Hitting the upper fender on uptravel is no big deal as it is smooth and doesn't hang anything up. I usually trim out the indents for the lights if needed (below) or if running bigger tires, trim them back far enough for clearance. Cannot tell from the side view when the body is on. Can easily rebuild them taller with styrene if needed. Indents removed Inner fender fully clearanced. |

however the chassis has two hole for the suspension mount one for screw another for a "protrude" part in suspension mount if i add spacers in the place you mentioned the "protrude part" may not long enough to attach the chassis this make me confuse, how is bro your solution? thanks in advance! | |

I ment to put spacers between the chassis and this thing, at the wholes I marked in green. Might require longer screws as well | |
