Well, I decided to do a different build with my clod body. I already cut the body for bigger tires so I am looking for another body if anybody has one. It has tlt axles, 1.9 tires(also run mashers for a real old school monster truck look). Stampede trans, 20 turn stinger motor, hitec 645mg servo(front only), dynamite esc w/reverse. I am running Front stampede shocks with stock springs, I ordered softer losi springs, so they should be here any time. I made the chassis as kind of a test before making the real chassis but this is way to fun to take apart so I guess I will have to build another truck. Here are a few pictures. Thanks for looking,Brian

My son was driving and he likes to back down from the top of the hill and hit forwad and try to ride a willie! Thanks for the kind words,Brian

plyr2k · 05-10-2006, 04:53 PM

that will probly be the most scale truck ive ever seen with the new body. Nice work!!

bigred · 05-10-2006, 05:03 PM

That neat. Looks like a fun truck. that thing must be crazy with the stinger motor in it.

RampageFSJ · 05-12-2006, 12:08 PM

Cool truck, got any pics of the mashers on it?

Double J · 05-12-2006, 02:16 PM

I like the last pic as well. I tried to take the background out.. Not to bad with out having photoshop.

axelnut1 · 05-12-2006, 06:20 PM

Thanks DOUBLE J I saved the picture you redid. It looks alot better.

I will post pictures later tonight with the mashers and the "naked" chassis pictures. Brian

axelnut1 · 05-12-2006, 06:29 PM

Here are the pics. w/the mashers. I sould have raised the body about two holes on the post but these were poser's anyway. I run these tires when I go on the rocks, I figure with the 20 turn motor and the way me and my son drive it, we will break it with the mashers on it. Also some pics. of the chassis. Let me know what ya think,Brian

nice lookin truck man, very scale!looks like a ton of fun!

from the south · 05-12-2006, 11:59 PM

kinda looks like an older pre runner w. the littler tires on it..I like it...good job..

mt_power · 05-13-2006, 02:51 AM

Looks very scale, great job.

Are those tires from a Tamiya XC model, aren't they?

axelnut1 · 05-13-2006, 11:39 AM

The tires and wheels came from a Tamiya S10. It was about the only good thing left on the S10. I finished the skid plate last night and put some lights in it(headlights only for now) Glad you guys like it, that makes it all the better,brian

maxxdrive · 05-13-2006, 12:33 PM

really nice truck i like the way you trimmed the body. It has a desert race truck look.

axelnut1 · 05-13-2006, 01:28 PM

I first built the truck with a modified stock tlt chassis with a laydown stampede trans. It was a cool truck but to allow for flex and have thew body kinda low I had to cut it. I wish I never cut it for the latest build but I figure I will get another body sometime. Brian

Mad Scientist · 05-15-2006, 10:02 PM

Nice! I really like the look of the Clod body and the 1.9 wheels. What's the speed and torque like with the Stinger? How about run-time?

Not too shabby on editing that pic, Double J.

axelnut1 · 05-16-2006, 01:20 PM

Mad Scientist, Speed is pretty good, I am running a 17t pinion and 87t spur. I don't know what the tlt axles are geared to. Torque is alright, it's not like a 55t lathe motor but it is perfect for just all around bashing. The only thing is that you have to be careful when on pavement becase when you turn at anything more then 1/2 throttle sometimes it will flip over, I guess that is kinda scale to the way it drives. It spins the BFG's like crazy and with the mashers it pulls the front wheels about 2" off the ground when you take off from a dead stop. Runtime is about 25-30 minutes with a 3300mah battery. That is running hard and almost full throttle the whole time on loose dirt. Thanks for the compliment,Brian
