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.

she already wants it faster.....

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

Trikster · 01-10-2009, 02:18 PM

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

emaxxjeremy · 01-10-2009, 06:29 PM

Offroader5 · 01-10-2009, 08:56 PM

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

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

Trikster · 01-11-2009, 12:09 AM

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 · 01-11-2009, 01:35 AM

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.

Where I would be running mine is a very long yet narrow mixed dirt/grass area...I would have to do 4 point turns with my crawlers, so open diffs will be a must. 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!

STANG KILLA SS · 01-11-2009, 03:20 PM

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
