phiber_optik 86 Posted August 9, 2021 Hey Everyone, I've had a pretty standard CC01 for a number of years now, generally love the truck but as we all know it has its flaws. With some homebrew smarts I'm going to try and make it a better truck without shelling out alot of cash. I've no idea if some of these mods will be successful but I will report back. Mod one, steering! Ive trimmed the top of the standard horn on the steering shaft and put on a standard servo piece, bolted a long M3 bolt though the whole assembly and put 2 5mm balls on top, the plan here is to implement a push pull steering assembly. The steering wire at the bottom will also be replaced with 2 more 5mm balls and a small threaded rod between them to help remove any slop (if there is enough space) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phiber_optik 86 Posted August 10, 2021 Tonight's mod was removing anything from the chassis I deemed no longer needed. I've seen people cut alot more off their CC01 chassis but I didn't want to go too wild and wanted to keep the stock body post positions and damper mounts. I also made a new electronics tray out of 2mm aluminium, because I could and as practice for a skid plate I plan to make for under the main chassis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phiber_optik 86 Posted August 15, 2021 Front end back together again! Waiting for some countersunk 3M bolts and ball ends to 4 link the rear end now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phiber_optik 86 Posted August 17, 2021 Fabricated some brackets for the rear shocks. These will bolt in to the ends of the rear axle since the home made 4 link won't accommodate the dampers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicadraus 6130 Posted August 23, 2021 The CC-01 has probably the lousiest/crappiest steering system in all of their truck chassis. I would suggest changing those plastic steering set to Hot Racing (HR) or at least Yeah Racing (YR). Stay away from GMP and Xtraspeed, because both are aluminum craps.
