CC-01/XC servo relocation testing

Mounted servo in more traditional location eliminating slop. some bumpsteer evident but not significant-needs real world testing.
How I did it-turn knuckles around facing forward, make tie rod. cut front of chassis off, slot wheel wells for new bracket. make L bracket from aluminum to hold servo, mount to top of wheel well. make drag link. thats the basic setup.

is it a hard kit to build I have never put together a kit and thought I would give it a try

@skater4life2442 -Kit is super easy to build. The instruction manual is very clear and the parts go together quickly and easily.

How did you mount this thing where you did?

[pantablo]

I cut off the front of the chassis, the same as one might do anyway to eliminate the 'brick' up front. The aluminum angle you see is screwed to the tops of the wheel arches. There's also a slot in the wheel arch to accommodate them but I later realized that was unnecessary.

The alum angle is cut to hold the servo, which screws through the angle.

wow, i completely missed that you had done this, its pure genius. i am going to hack up one of my chassis right now.

It works really well too. A bit of bump steer when testing it indoors like above but real world driving gives no indication of bump steer. Check out my latest video to see it in action. Charcoal Range Rover Sport body is on this chassis at the moment.

Hi there. i want to do that in my cc 01 Pajero, but it does not seem to turn more than the stock . am i correct?

[pantablo]

sure is. very scale. however, there are better pure crawling platforms. it depends on what your expectations are. the axial scx-10 is close to a scale comp rig and will outperform this. however, this is still a very capable platform and will likely surprise you, but its no comp crawler.

[snobmxman101]

is that thing any good for crawling?

[pantablo]

Thanks kenworthit. We'll see how well it works, lol. Looks like it will be fine.

there are some other photos in my cc-01 suspension thread on scale4x4rc showing how I made the bracket and such if you're interested.
