Minnesotamudders honcho kit

Back to the grease topic for a minute-I discovered all that grease doesn't do much good unless you plug up the little holes on top of the axles, where the 4 link bracked mounts. After running around in sandy mud around here my rear axle was clean inside (4link mount installed) and my front was full of sand!

Been there done that. Except I was running on beach sand. It took forever to clean up.

took it out today, forgot cammera though
i striped the stock servoarm, put a new one on, and 10mins later broke the driveshaft at the pin

[minnesotamudder]

i also have a q about overdrive and under drive, do i put over drive in the front axle with stronger gears in the back, do i put overdrive in front and under drive in rear, or upgraded gears in front, and underdrive in rear.
so wich way is better and why, im going to be running a 30-35t motor or a 10t puller on 3s.

[minnesotamudder]

ok so just to make sure if i go with the 1ot puller on 3s, what will most likely go first? I will have mip shafts.
just want to order the stuff that will go first, also does this(link below) replace the stock slipper cluch? and is it good to put this in or just put other upgrade stuff for the slipper?

if this is not good what stuff sould be upgraded for the slipper?

[minnesotamudder]

well still cant find my camera
but heres where i want to go with it, i want to make it a mud/ trail truck.
It will look sort of like this:

not mine, but thought it looks cool, and one of my dads friends has something like it.
ill use a clod body, hh 10t puller on 3s, boggers in back, irocks upfront.
hopefully cut the hood and put hinges to hide the electronics and battery.

[minnesotamudder]

any body know where to get a front grill parts tree for a clod body? Rpp has them but not in stock.

ok im still wondering about this, and if i do that what else should i upgrade in the transmision. for the axles im going to put an overdrive gear in the front, upgrded gears for the rear, aluminum lockouts for the rear, gunnar beeftubes and pins. any thing else that i should get for the axles.
i want to make this thing as close to indistructible as possible.

Being a fellow Minnesotan, go to rccarkings.net. They have a store near my house in Eden Prairie. I go there often and know they stock Clod bodies and parts. Check it out and give them a call. I'm sure they can help.

robinson racing parts # 1541 and 1542 will sufficiently beef up the tranny. The third gear is already metal so you wont need it.

[Wasp26Jim]

Yes, as a matter of fact don't buy from Tower...

Their prices are usually not very good and they do not support RCC.

Roger that

dont worrt about four linking the front, just use what comes with the handbros kit. I just did it today and it is slick.

this is what i used on the rear DmG's/Truss/Link Mount cause i like my link ends vertical not horizontal
