 And after tearing into my rear 55t and seeing that I smoked it at some point, I'm guessing it will be something entirely different that actually lets go first.  | |

Somebody gots Super Sickness. That's frickin awsome man. I believe you will need to keep both of them clods though. You'll need spare parts sooner or later. Super Revolution |

I'm still just happy with the fact that the clod never really died. At least now I don't feel so bad about putting up with 20 years of "Why do you still have those things?!?! They don't even work, do they?!?! Just get rid of that crap, we can use that shelf for something else! Just a quick tech note on The Burb: 16.5" wheelbase 15" track width TCS NN chassis Integy reservoir shocks w/ white soft springs run of the mill link arms w/ traxxas ends Hitec wuss servo Thundertech servo mount w/guard Aluminum gear cases Integy axle tubes JP Customs knuckle pack outers Thundertech 8mm cvd axles Integy metal gears w/ lockers adjustable motor mounts 8 tooth pinions 17mm adapters As seen in the first pictures, I borrowed the wheels/tires from Big Red. She also donated the electronics...novak super duty and 1.5 (rear motor is fried) 55t motors. So far I'm really pleased (it passed the "crawl up the stairs out of the basement" test with flying colors). I'm itchin' to get this thing on the rocks and see how well we work together. I hate Iowa weather.... That is all, carry on. Last edited by WarMachine; 03-11-2009 at 07:44 PM. Reason: forgot stuff |

Got to take the Burb out for it's shake down runs this weekend... Holy crap is it a totally different animal than Big Red! I'm pretty friggin' happy with it so far.  The mud made things a bit more of a challenge, but I finally made a full day of running without breakage! LOL Hey Chad, where's that super of yours?!?! I wanna see a write up and some pics man! |

Got to play with mine for a little while yesterday at the comp. Wuss hitec servo striped out in a few minutes but I was happy that it even worked. I have some parts on order so watch the clod page for a build thread. I will try to get some pics posted later. It is a clod based super with a RC GeckoII chassis. Needs work Chad |

I hear ya on the hitec wuss factor. I had relinquished my hitec from front to rear steer duties on Big Red, when it started to make noise, I pulled it all together. When the Burb build came up, I sent it back into action...it finally gave up today.  So I'm now in the market for a replacement.
