Bro, do not hesitate to buy one of these freakin awesom little trucks, I have been cralwing for nearly 3yrs now and my best friend VIPXJ has been as well and we had a mini GTG on the weekend. I had my Isuzu Mu CC01 and he had his Jeep Wrangler/Liberty CC01 and we were like little kids grinning from ear to ear because of the fun we were having with these little rigs !They may look small and incapable of anything but they will go just about anywhere you point em. I have comp crawlers, hiluxs, tundras but I will always grab my CC01 1st.

WEBSTER420.... Jeep looks awesom bro, freakin fun little rigs now arnt they lol. I think after our weekend GTG we hooked another member on to them as well lmao.
The mods you need to do are very easy and your looking at probably 2 hrs max downtime to do them. You think its great in stock form its insane in modified

One thing I found and so did VIPXJ on the weekend was the screws that hold the lower shock mounts into the A-Arms keep working themself loose, I but a spacer in the shock and threaded longer M3 screws into it and they havent budged at all. The hole goes right through the A-Arms. Another easy mod is instead of putting the screws supplied into the gear case use a longer bolt and nut underneath....again the holes go right through, my chassis was 2nd hand and the holes were a little loose and the casing wouldnt stay down as the screws worked loose with vibration and the gears would start to chatter as they had a little more movement. Now I have no problems

hey thanks guys. ya when i first built this thing i was a little afraid i wasnt going to like it and it wouldnt go anywhere. man was i wrong. i had my cc01 out and my buddy had one of his comp trucks out and he couldnt believe this thing. his is on order now. thanks for the tips. i have a 55t motor on the way and i hope that slows it down a little more. i chopped up the front end and loctited everything on the truck. now im just working on repainting it. Next i want to get new tires for some 1.9 beadlocks i already have. Man i love playing with this thing. Tomorrow were soppose to go out and wheel so i will take my camera and get some trail photos. i wanna build another one of these with solid axles. i was going to do it to this rig at first but i want to leave this one with ifs. im hooked now on these. i might end up with a bunch more at the rate im going. so if anyone has any more must have mods for these let me know. i need to get rid of the rear plastic links and get some aluminum ones on it and remount the shocks.

They a certianly a kool little truck , very capable with a few mods . Like what smudgebug said , replace the lower shock screws with longer screws helps , my rear screws pulled out and mine is a new kit . All im going to do to mine is tires and change the rear links, ive done the front cut allready.
