c0bra’s ccw razors edge build

[c0bra]

I’m starting this thread to document the progress of a new local class 1 comp truck. Admittedly the truck isn’t exactly going to be fully legal as my local group doesn’t really like seeing aftermarket chassis in class 1. However they didn’t complain about the v1c1 based truck I’ve been running.

Anyways this truck is based off the ccw razors edge chassis in titanium with their intheworks link kit running 10.3 portals. The front axle also has brass knuckles.

The rest of the drive train is a tgh motor mount and ccw skid/transfer case that has a 26% ud. It’ll be running a dlux driveshaft from the motor mount to transfer case with incision shafts going to the axles

The rest of the chassis is running the ccw dual servo and panhard mount as well as 1 of their cross members. With the rear crossmember being swapped out for one I designed with an integrated servo winch mount.

The rest of the electronics will be a savox 2290 for steering, a Holmes tug buddy for a servo winch. Motor and esc are a revolver 1800kv snub nose paired with a crawl master v3 and a sanwa rx.

Wheels and tires are boom racing 1.9 wheels with voodoo foams and 4.19 pitbull rocker tires.

Shocks currently are element with ccw pistons, 4 hole front 5 hole rear with 50wt xtr shock oil.

Now the good part. Pics!

Not currently on it is the new front battery mount

Now onto the body, which is a rc4wd 4Runner

My hopes are to have this truck done within the next few weeks for a shakedown run at Rausch Creek on April 12-14

I like where this is going.

That's a pretty serious looking ride. Motor and electronics tuck right in there - nice build!

Oh man, I got a feeling that's gonna be a good looking little rig!! "thumbsup"

Ended up swapping out the ccw dual servo mount in favor of a custom one I designed. The main reason was because I am hoping to run a shv650 in the truck which just wouldn’t fit in the original mount.

So I designed my own mount in fusion and adjusted the battery mount to work with it.

Tomorrow I will be taking the truck to get bumpers made for it. Idk if they will be perfect, but they will at least be functional. I’ve also picked up some stainless and aluminum tubing to route the winch line through the chassis.

Got quite a bit of an update!

Bumpers are on the truck, winch line is routed through the chassis, wiring is just about done, and body is painted!

Yes it is turned on in the pic, was too excited to unplug the battery as I just finished the leds

The parts added since the last update include a lockedup hook and orange winch line as well as most of a power shift Rc led kit. I mean most because I cut it up quite a bit and really only used a few inches of wire that was attached to the individual led. The rest is custom routed and mostly sleeved with heat shrink for protection.

Also added an ierc roof rack and gspeed g-spot

Still need to paint/add some scale accessories and figure out a driver and passenger

That is a nice looking truck.

Ran the truck at Rousch and found a couple of issues to fix.

The biggest one by far is if the truck is level or going downhill the motor is rubbing the front lower link and it’s creating a loud screech. To fix it I plan on swapping out the lowers for high clearance, which will be set up to go around the motor for clearance.

Other issue I found was lack of front weight. At the start of a steep climb the front end just lifts off the ground easily.

I had to take a bit of time to rethink the direction of this truck. It looks fantastic with this body and it wouldn’t take much to be fully sorrca legal. However with how heavy this truck is in the rear it’s going to take a ton of front weight for it to be competitive.

So after some thought I think I’m going to set the 4Runner body aside and change this thing to a tamiya f350.

Here’s the mock up the body. It looks like it’ll fit with some tweaks, and I will also be redoing the chassis layout for more front weight.

For example I can change the design of the front servo mount and build in spacers for the winch servo to space it up. That way the spool isn’t getting in the way of the front axle when the suspension compresses. I’m hoping the servo winch isn’t going to be way too up in the air to affect the weight balanced, will need to double check once it’s printed and ready to be installed.

This is definitely going to need a custom drop bed as the stock depth isn’t even close to drop bed points. With this being a custom insert I can move the wheel wells to where the shock towers are and incorporate some scale accessories into the design of the bed.

As an added bonus I already have premade front and rear bumpers that will fit this chassis and body combo fairly well.
