I can`t bend them in other way because of low links mounts. I saw every page of King Cobra`s Landrover

i`m glad u like my project

Will those wheels work with Clod for sure without any adaptors ?

First Q, How u think should I paint frame to flat black colour ??
Then it's painted & mocked up 4 hours later after one reply says to powder coat.
Wow, why ask or are you that fast?
Looks good though. I like the body.

That`s cool they will work. I wanted to buy deep dish version of this wheels (rustler rear wheels) but axle will be to wide with it. CSR you have got front or rear rustler wheels on your clod ?

LOL ... I`m so fast man I wanted to paint it form a start but I want to hear at least one opinion to make sure it will looks good.

And ... I`m happy you all like my project !

Looks really cool! I think the black frame really goes well. It's not too often you see a real vehicle with anything but a black frame. Just help to add to the realism.

Looks really good! Post more pics when you get it done!

Everything looks good. i like how it is. just one thing i would change. the tires, IMO they look too small and it dont go with the body. but thats just my oppinion. But it does look good. Good job man.

Pedemaster-rc : Wheels are even big. It`s scaled jeep, not monster jeep Cool you like it too.

You mean that I just spent over 25 hours making a clay mold of a Rover and someone makes it in hard plastic with lights?!?!?! And a soft top?!?!?!?!?




Please excuse me while I shoot myself. . . . .

The wheels designed for the REAR of the Stampede/Rustler have more backspacing. You want more backspacing on the Clod. With 'pede rear wheels my Clod is 12" wide.
