Audreys MONSTER Truck basher....

[STANG KILLA SS]

well ive had this chassis from my "Sinister Silverado" project, and these axles from my "Big Joe" project, and they've been collecting dust for about a year. well i decided to build Audrey a monster truck style basher with them. so i posted up in the wanted section and folks just started donating parts! id like to thanks them first.

TEDROCKZ:
NIB clod tires
NIB clod wheels
NIB silver cans

Slow Joe:
clod 13T pinions

thanks fellas.
well onto the pics. ignore the temporary rear shocks, awaiting another set of the losi shocks to come in. im really trying to concentrate on keeping the CG low to make it handle well, cause audrey's got a happy throttle finger. i had alot of tips from Brett at CPE on this build.

SPECS
hand made carbon fiber chassis
losi .6 shocks
stock motor/pinions
tamiya grasshopper esc.

That's a sweet looking basher, I've always loved clod based beaters.

[Trikster]

Love it! I also have loved the Clod based bashers... Now, where are the pics of her with it?

[STANG KILLA SS]

You are a very lucky guy! She is beautiful and enjoys the hobby too... Who wouldn't want to see pics. :ror:"thumbsup"

[emaxxjeremy]

Nice to see a Clod go back to being a Clod. "thumbsup"

[TEDROCKZ]

[Inclodneato]

thats so sweet!! thats exactly what i wanna build up for myself i want a big basher :)

[Trikster]

Are the diffs open or locked? I am really considering putting one together. I have an awesome chassis sitting here doing nothing that would be perfect for this build. I even have the body. Just need the rest. I used to LOVE my Clod basher, your builds have always been inspiring and I think this is just the ticket for me right now. Thinking a pair of Spec 19t ball bearing motors, find an ESC to run 3s to the two motors...hmm...

[dieselfuel]

I've always kinda wanted to build a scale-ish monster truck. and that's perfect! looks like fun!

locked. cause they were left over from a crawler build. doesnt turn very well. but where we run our slashes, 5t, buggies, etc is huge. so it wont really matter. yeah ill probly through some small mod motors in it, (19 probly as well) if ive got a esc that will handle them. i think brett recomended a super duty. the only thing this build cost me was the shocks, everything else i had or was donated. so i want to keep it cheap.

A Super duty eh? I will look into that. I really think I am going to put one together. How long are your links? That is the one thing I suck at most during a build...I never get it right and yours looks spot on.

Its never too cold for pics. It was 31 degrees here last week or so and there were a bunch of models in bikini's taking promo shots in front of a theater. Little bit pointy and traffic was a nightmare, but they still got their pictures done. LOL! "thumbsup"

[STANG KILLA SS]

you have to remember i do all my builds in autocad first, its a disease lol. so yeah most of my builds are pretty spot on, no suprises or guessing. my links are 5.3" eye to eye. but that kinda immaterials since the chassis is custom.
hope to see some more of these things pop up on RCC...that would be cool

Well come to think of it I have got a nice carbon chassis lying around.
http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w353/Tupers125/IMG_0029.jpg
I sold the axles a while ago but I've still got the Mag Mayhems and all the other bits. I've also got a C10 long bed body completely stock clod in the loft.

Should I build a clod basher?

I am uploading pics of mine now.. "thumbsup" no fancy CF just junk I had laying around.. I need to pick up a new body this week and get it painted but it is pretty fun was great in the snow..

[CPE MT]

Basher/race Clods are what these were intended for. Nothing like seeing a Clod fly through a pile of snow...

For anyone building one, I'd recommend locking the rear differential only. Gives you a great compromise between traction and turning radius.

Here's one of our scale-ish race trucks:

[sloppy]

after running mine today in deep snow my observation was the rear diff does need locked up but I think leaving the front open will be fine..


I think I may splurge and get one of your terminator chassis they look pretty sweet..

[STANG KILLA SS]

everyone.... build threads....monday night....lets see them.
ive started a revolution :lol:
sudenly i have the sudden urge to go buy foil cooking pans and hammer out some car shells and do some crushing!

Thats the point!(pun intended) :lmao::lol:

[sloppy]

mines up "thumbsup" car crushing fun

[2JSC]

I remember when I was like 6 or 7, I had a BigFoot truck and stadium setup. It came with the thick pieces of tin foil with cars printed on them that you would put on these die's and press out some cars to run over with it.

[ScalerLover]

How about 1 more vote for pics with Miss TSS ? "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

[venom813]

Great, just great. Now I have more ideas for projects floating around my head. That is all I needed. Hope your happy.

What's up with that crap? Come on Elvis, you titled it this way SO people would look at the thead. I think you are a liar. You got free parts donated to Audrey and you are actually the one using it. Pictures of her or your a liar. :ror:

Well the rule is...Pictures or your a liar. ;-) Ok, I will leave this alone now.

I love the truck and the scheme. I did this same thing, however the axle tube would break as well as the wheel mount stubs on the stock rim. I bolted the wheel mount to the rim with screws and lock nuts. the tubes were a pain, I did use a Super Duty I think? it had two Team Orion 17x2 motors and it was fun. Chassie was a crawler one from here old version of something, extended links, stampede shocks. I would do scale jumping in the garage over old bodies and boxes.

Needless to say it was fragile and I sold it on the Ebay.
