Default Which is better?

I have the opportunity to get a complete Clodzilla IV chassied clod.

My question is: will this make a decent crawler or would I do better selling it and getting (ultimately a stick chassis) a Gecko?

I have the TXT side down and would like some direction with the clod side of my brain.

Thanks in advance.

Neh, sticks are retarded. Get the Z4 and play with that for a while. You'll be happy with just a little modifacation. I'll bet it will out crawl your TXT hands down. I've only got the Z2 and it tottaly spanks my buddies maxxed out Jugg. The sitcks, do go over things well, but thier not realy trucks. More like a special ED moon rover. Keep with real trucks and do the Z4. If you don't like it, sell it. I'll by the chassis and suspention from you and then you can get a stick.

actually it depends what and where your going to run the truck,if in comps get the stick.if just crawling around some where local you can easaly try the z4 and make some adjustments to it and see if it can hanle the terain your running on,then from there you can always sell it for some thing better after you see how the z4 can be

So would I be able to reconfigure the links to make it a better crawler or do I have to do some major reworking to get it to work good? I think this was set up for racing so it's low and tight.

A Z4 can be awesome. It's all in the setup. Check out the Mudcow

Mudcow Video Collection (19 of 19 posted)

The Cow isn't a Z4 but it's basically very similar

I saw that POS! It is nasty! Looks horrible just like you

Hope to see it run soon. Major potential out of the mudcow!
