New CC-01 owner help

[Yonzariq]

Hi Guys,

I recently got back into RC with a CC-01.
I got a GPM Steering kit, GPM 4-link set and GPM aluminium servo horn.
And I bought some aluminium 1.9 beadlocks and 90mm tyres.

Now I run into a few issues.
First of all, the steering, I barely have a turning radius with it.
The knuckles hit the hubs pretty fast.
Next is the battery, I have a few standard 2s hardcase packs, according to the measurements before ordering and those of the CC-01 battery tray I found they should fit after squaring out the battery tray of the CC-01.
I did that, but the lipo's are still only a hair too big to fit, what else can I do to make them fit?

I found that if I do not place the electronics tray in the car and remove the part of the chassis where you normally slide the battery under to mount it in the chassis, I can probably fit my lipo's with some velcro or something.
But won't that give too much flex to the chassis?

I changed my electronics mounting plate to accommodate a 3S 3000 mah battery

Hard to make out, but I put a piano hinge on a flat plate and raised it about 1/2 inch.
Opened plate:


PLate from top of unit:



I drilled a hole in a screw that sticks through the plate and used a body clip to hold it closed.

Some soft foam to cushion the battery.

If your battery is too long, a different approach is needed. My battery was short but thick.

Hope this helps..

Thanks, it does give some nice help
But indeed my battery is too long.
It's a standard 5000mah 2s squared hardcase.
I'll try to take some photo's tonight to show what I mean

Totally forgot this thread...
But I got the battery to fit in, dremeled out the chassis a bit more, removed the electronics plate and placed the ESC somewhere else

Glued 96mm Boom Racing tires on the stock wheels,
Car runs great now, except there is still a ton of slop in the steering...
The rod-ends of the links have a lot of slop, and the knuckle/c-hub have a lot of play in them, so I have to find a way to reduce that.
And remove the brick and create a skidplate in place for it some time

if you buy cvd axles and cut some plastic you and get a better turning radius.. but not recommended with the Dog bones..

[Yonzariq]

Thanks for the tip!
Ordered a better ESC and 55t motor first as stock on 2s is just way too fast.
Now I first want to minimize the steering slop as much as possible before buying CVD's

Get the aluminum steering assembly and that will get rid of the slop

Already got the GPM kit, slop is in the rod-ends and between the knuckles and c-hubs

[aiden102408]

I dunno then ... I'm new to the cc01 chassis
I have a bronco and a unimog and haven't ran either one lol

First off if you havent already, cut the nipples off the chubs. This will give a little more steering angle and still be within range of the dbones. As far as slop goes you can try to shim here and there but i just plan on going with full alu up front and hope for the best lol.

[Yonzariq]

yeah, doing the same right now...
Ordered a lot of alu front steering parts haha
