Default Ross' Cliff Climber Build

I realize that this has been done just about EVERY way possible... and that its really hard to polish a turd...

I have a VERY dialed LCC/NC so for fun (and the fact we got two of these for $13 each new) I decided to play around with a CC build... the ones we got were not RTR so it allowed us to play a little more without having tons of spares...

My first "go round" with this in fairly stock configuration left me really bummed that it could barely get over a pebble without clod-stalling...

The progression has landed me where I am now... with only motors left (be here saturday.. Banebot 390s)

Heres the layout currently:
Stock Chassis and Axles
LNC Upper Links used for lowers
CC "C" Links used for uppers
Novak Rooster Crawler on 2s
Stock 5000 Motors in Parallel
Castle BEC
Futaba R603GF (4PL TX)
Hitec 985MG Front Servo
Traxxas 2075 Rear Servo
Threaded Front Buggy Shocks all the way around
LNC Wheels with Rock Claws (8oz front, 3oz rear)

Where I am with very little droop is at 11" axle to axle... I plan on finding much softer springs so I can droop it down to around 11.5"... Will be replacing the motors saturday and gears to 10T... and get it on the rocks at the house to see how it goes... I dont really do much fabrication but I am actually enjoying the difficulty of making this thing work...
