CGM v SSG

[scoyle]

Hi,

I am in the market for a new car and the Yokomo is one of the chief suspects... Can someone tell me if the CGM is the replacement to the SSG carbon or if Yokomo will be selling both cars?

Are the parts transferable between the two?

hi cgm is just a cheaper version of the ssg.
if i am correct the cgm has the same servo position and cell placement as the rayspeed chassis conversion for the ssg
owning an ssg and with the inclement weather i would go for an cgm so you can use the wet weather cover.
i had one of the first ssg in the country so any more questions dont hesitate to ask.

inless you geta fibre lyte chassis like me then you get the best of both, muhahahahaha :P

with all the aerations in the chassis, the CGM won't provide a better rain protection.

The CGM is a cheaper version, but comes with all graphite parts, and the servo has the 90° mod as stated by MR4MAN. However, I prefer the SSG as I have never liked plastic tub chassis for a sedan.

Its all about the Black Chassis, its a bit stiffer. Although you don't get that "bling" look. :P

Hi friends. Greetings from Malta.

After spending most of the week building cars in a hurry - why do customers always take ages to decide what they want then once they decide they want it built and ready to run - yesterday, I finally found time to build my first CGM.

Must say, I'm impressed. I like they way they have spread the motor mount across the chassis to avoid chassis warp as experienced on some TC3s.

I like the dinky rear bumper / grab handle, also copied from TC3, and the streering assembly, which has zero play.

Apart from bumpers and body mounts, not a bit of plastic in sight. All fabulous graphite or alloy.

Conclusion: the best value for money car on the market.

When i saw a friend of mine with a CGM last weekend it weighed a ton I agree its great value but it looks like another way to get you to buy add ons later to get the weight down..........................

Mind you the SSG hasn't exactly got a slim build, for a Graphite car.

[AzNDRAGster]

It all depends what surface you race on.

Hi friends. greetings from Malta.

I have heard that the CGM is fairly heavy. Does this also apply to the all graphite kit.

Everything in the kits I have received so far has been graphite. I hope to put some electrics in one and run it this week, and will be able to weigh it then.

Apart from titanium screws and stub axles, and alloy drive shafts I can't really think of many other ways of lightening it. I suppose it all depends how overweight it really is.

Will keep you informed.

hi guys,
im just after a little help if anyone can. just brought the cgm conversion kit for my yok and was just wondering if anyone knows a starting point in setting it up outdoors if possible as i dont really know where to start with it ??? also can anyone tell me the difference between aeration shocks and standard shocks whats the advantages of aeration cheers for all your help

Surely the best place to start is with the setup from your unconverted car? Then modify to suit.

Aeration shocks are the ones with the foam in the bottom, bladder have the bladder at the top. Both do the same basic job, personally I prefer bladder for ease of use.

Already done, Yokomo is coming out with an Light weigh version, I think I can find a PIC.

Edit: Btw, its coming out in middle of march.
