Yesterday was the first run of the year, the wheather was nice so I took my new build wild one to the beach and run 2 battery packs, the car run very great, and fun to drive, it was not flawless I has some small problems that I have to fix , first of al one of the front shocks lost all of the oil and get crunchy with sand in it, the front tires I did not glued and not filed the tiny holes in the rims, so the tires were full of sand, have to reinforce the body on the side because it has a small crack in it, and there was something wrong with the steering, turn out the new servo was full of sand, I running for 9 years my cars on the beach never had any servo with sand in it, and the stupid thing is I have the same servo for years in my fire dragon and its still fine, I am going to clean it and put it in a onroad car. Today it was the my new build squash van that I run on the beach, it passed its test with flying colors, with some mods, longer suspension arms and other shocks and tweaks this chassis is great, it runs and drives very well and is not tippy anymore , and it jumps good to, I do not see many squash vans on this forum but I can say it is great I love it, and I beat the crap out of it and nothing broke.

Finished the build of the Squash Van. Build the car with long suspension arms, yeah racing shock towers, tamiya shocks, yeah racing knuckles and hubs, put an castle 3800kv motor in it with high speed gear and a 23 tooth pinion gear, and used absima wheels , with these tires and shocks and shocktowers the car bottoms out nice. I had al of the yeah racing parts, tamiya shocks and long suspension arms on my Tamiya wr-02, so I used all of the parts from that car, and rebuild the wr-02 with the new parts from the Squash van.

Maybe a servo saver for a Losi Lmt wil work, aftermarket or stock, it that is a big heavy tire monster truck. and they are adjustable.

Finished the wild one build, and gave it a little test run in the garden.

After months of cold and damp weather, today it seemed like a spring day nice temp and not damp, so it was a good day to paint some bodies, with a lot of on going projects I needed to paint bodies to finish them. Flake with ps8 green on the squash van body, flake with ps33 cherry red on the td2 body that is for my td4, and ps 23 gun metal on the body for my wild one.

I run and bash my lunchbox very hard with an castle 5700 kv motor in it , I never broke any servo saver, to be honest I never broke any servo saver on my cars. Maybe what you said, you had your end points not adjusted, maybe that is wat breaks the servo savers.s

Which wheelbase do you have on your CC-02, I have the same driveshafts and they fit on the 252mm wheelbase. I have cut one of them but that was not necessary, it was me being stupid I made an mistake with the assembly of the c15/c16 I put them both on the wrong side, so the axle comes closer to the center gearbox. If you have the short wheelbase maybe they do not fit, but you can cut or grind them to lenght.

Those m-05/ m-06 steeriing racks works perfectly in the wild one, I never saw it done before for, so I tought I share it here on the forum, so other members can use this idea if the want to change the steering on a wild one I used a lowprofile servo I had one in my stash it fits perfect under the dashboard.

Yes they are 1.55 inch.

Put some new wheels and tires on my cc-02 very happy with them, the look good and there are pretty straight to, al lot of time wheels have a wobble in them even the alloy or metal ones, these ones not.

I wanted to put a better servo saver and thicker steering rods in my new wild one build, but after trying a lot of different servo savers tamiya high torqeu, 3 racing and kimbrough and different rods I gave up none of them work, then I got the Idea maybe an steering rack wil work, so I took the steering rack out of my Tamiya m-05. The steering rack fits like a glove, bolted straight on the mounting points of the servo, then I made some alloy servo mounts and moved the servo to another place in the chassis, it works like a charm everything clears, no binding and no more bump steer.

buy something like this motor is basically a 380 motor in a 540 can, these motors are cheap, buy the lowest 3000kv version, they are a little faster but not super fast. https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007453104205.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller.5.73119ZHI9ZHIbd&gps-id=pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40196.422467.0&scm_id=1007.40196.422467.0&scm-url=1007.40196.422467.0&pvid=f5061d13-4788-415c-8f6f-8544c76981b2&_t=gps-id:pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40196.422467.0,pvid:f5061d13-4788-415c-8f6f-8544c76981b2,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238107%231934&pdp_npi=4%40dis!EUR!25.37!16.49!!!186.68!121.34!%40211b612817373974890758201e051b!12000040818933604!rec!NL!751247182!XZ&utparam-url=scene%3ApcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller|query_from%3A

This tires and wheels looks good under this ford body, also the size of the tires.

How big are your tires ?, I just ordered some 94 mm tires for my cc-02 with some 1,55 ich steel beadlock rims, did not want to go with a to big tire and keep the scale look.

This week I started to build my new Wild One kit, today I worked on the suspension, the front shocks I had build but they where overdamped and to hard, the same for the rear shocks the springs are to stiff, and I did not have other springs for it. So the front of the shocks I reassamble, I took a little file en open up the holes in the shock pistons and I left the red shock adjuster out of it, and at the bottom of the shock I put a red o ring so that the spring stays in place and do not wobble arround. For the rear shocks I had some Gmade shocks in my stash with a lot of different springs for it and they had the perfect lenght, so I used them instead of the stock ones, put a bumpstop on the shocks to prefent that the trailing arms hit the rollcage. The suspension is now nice and smooth, a lot better then stock.
