Default My Son's 2.2 Clod Scaler & My 2.2 Comp Crawler

My son wanted his own RC crawler after I built mine, So I dug up some old Clod Buster parts in my RC boneyard. Made a custom chassis with links and shock mounts. His truck has waterproof electronics. He likes to put it in the mud! Had my son pick out what body and tires he wanted and this is what we made. He also wanted a trailer so he could tow my truck around. Went and got some 3/16 brake line and brazed it together, made a custom hitch for his truck too.

True, but its a good cheap RC for a 10 year old boy who likes to run it in mud, snow and water.

I agree with you on that. It doesn't make it scale though,so I put it in general.

OK, its not a "scale" truck. Its just a Clod based RC truck, but the boy likes it and runs the sh*t out of it and thats all that matters!
