  1. Do a Google search for "Tamiya CC01 steering mods"

    Lots of hits come up, just work your way through them....ignoring the front mounted servo mod, and check out the others..

    A lot of forum posts have been about the GPM kit being u/s, but with care and a bit of inginuity it can be made superb.....

    I myself have watched youtube videos of cc01 mods, and have cut and shaved a lot off of the arms and knuckles, fitted CVD.s and tuned the steering.....it's still not good, but it is much better than standard....and I will soon be fitting a modified GPM kit to get more.

     

     


  2. Conformal coating, that's what he is bringing me today..

    Last weekend out it rained a bit......I drove through a large puddle.....I removed the battery and took my rig home......next morning I fitted the battery, drove my rig around the house for 5 minutes to try and replicate a small problem, encountered out on the trail......5 minutes and the car stopped......moisture in the Rx....another one burnt out....lines across my radio set...moisture again.

    So now I'm going to coat everything and put all componants into a waterproof box.....Gggrrrrrrr!!!!


  3. Hi Guitarman, like you I am also new to RC cars, after extensive research, I built my Pajero rally with a set of ball races, in place of the plastic bearings, as advised on ALL forums.

    Best place to buy is RC Bearings, UK based and they know bearings.

    Everything else is suck it and see, mine now has a homebrew four lingk rear suspension setup, and a bit more steering via forum advice and knowledge...

    I would advise bearings essential, and everything else, replace with better parts when needed........most aftermarket hop-ups are bling and not really needed.

    Tyres in the kit are pretty good if you want to stay on hard surface, but they are too hard for crawling, even light stuff, they will let you down, KRT Kongs are the tyre of choice for immediate improvements, around 96mm are about the limit before body mods are needed. Even 96 will strike the body on full articulation.

    Next upgrade should be a good higher turn motor......do your research and you will find a lot of info for the CC01.

    Best of luck, the CC01 is a great trail, light crawler rig and you will be surprised at where you can go with it.

     

     

     


  4. Cheers lads, We both run the FlySky FS-i6 radios, and yes we've tried limiting the throttle channel on the radio, but as TurnipJF states, the torque is seriously compromised...I have ordered a 45 turn GoolRC motor from fleabay, we'll try that first, see how we get on.

    Once again, thanks for the replies.

  5. Hi all, I need/want to slow down a HBX Cross Tiger, that apparently is a Tamiya TL01B cloned chassis with monster (120mm dia) wheels and tyres.

    It is too fast for my daughter to handle, she comes out with my mate and I, we both have scale CC01's and use for trails and light crawling.

    How? What is a cost effective way of doing it?

    High turn motor?, new pinion/spur gears?. gru?

    Any ideas?.

  6. My daughter has this car..it needs new tyres and a decent 2.4ghz  upgrade before we can use it properly..also needs a high turn motor to slow it down.

    It has no makers name that we can se...but...on the front lower arms, the markings match my tamiya ones.

    Does anyone know what this is? Thanks.DSCN3500.JPG
