Hey guys, me again. Figure I would post up the build thread for my Super build. Im gonna name this one Sasquatch as it would be my bigest truck to date. For now I am going to start off with your basic clod axles and work my way from there. I think the first addition would be JP Knuckles. This is a custom homemade chassis that I based of a known chassis. Its simple, sweet, and its proven. I don't have the cash right now due to no job, so I figured I'll give a crack at making my own. So far I've spent $150 or so on the rig alltogether. I got the axles in a trade so I don't count that, but this I've actually bought include:

Moab XL's
Axial Black Chrome Rockstar beadlocks
RC4WD 17mm Hex adapters
CCBEC
HS-805bb
Alluminum C-channel

Right now the wheel base is sitting at 17.5in, which I think may work well around my area. 4ws seems like a must, so I am going to squeeze the hs805bb in the front, and use a hitec 645 out back. I figure the 645 would be just enough to get the rear tires moved around to find traction. ESC plans will be my Mamba Max esc, and the motors are 55t from what I have been told. Any info on baby blue Integy motors?

Here's a few pics of my current progress. I should be getting everything but the servo tomarrow so I'll update it then.

And the body...

Terminator13 · 11-15-2008, 10:11 AM

Thanks. Hopefully the rims and tires will be here today. Got a whole week to get it running....

Terminator13 · 11-15-2008, 06:02 PM

Looks pretty good no? I still have to trim the bottom of the body

Speedyboy · 11-15-2008, 06:44 PM

Looking pretty good. I like it so far. Tell us how your homebuild chassis works out for you.

Terminator13 · 11-15-2008, 06:56 PM

Thanks man, and will do. I hope it holds up pretty good but you never know.

Also got the CCBEC installed and the body trimmed. Pics in a few.

Terminator13 · 11-16-2008, 09:55 AM

4ws installed and CCBEC. I think im set for next sunday.

Pretty impressive if you ask me..

Well we'll find out. I don't have any weight whatsoever in the wheels so I hope that that might help. I do have the BEC with helps alot more. before the bec the 645 couldnt even turn the wheels, but now it throws them left to right so maybe they will work. If not, no biggy.. I'll just need to get some DS8711's

vn1500 · 11-16-2008, 02:13 PM

I think i've got a burned up 645 with good case you can have i'll look and post up in a while

a69baldone · 11-21-2008, 07:48 AM

Hey terminator and un1500 I have my axial and my gecko clod ready to get together. Only here in Lagrange.

Terminator13 · 11-21-2008, 08:08 AM

a69baldone · 11-21-2008, 08:47 AM

Im in. Ill get a PM to ya for a bit more info.

cartronicshn · 11-21-2008, 09:23 AM

Look very good

, since you have you servo set up like that, why didn't you do a BTA? it helps a lot

This is how i got it. i was planning to do a BTA soon, I just need to cut up the link bar and figure that out. Is there a pattern somewhere?

vn1500 · 11-22-2008, 10:26 PM

It's amazingly simple on the clod axles with the torsion chassis to do BTA check out my super and 2.2 comp truck tomorrow , I'll bring all that you need to do it before tech (it's that easy)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

klrp · 11-23-2008, 09:34 AM

What kind of wheel adapters you are using? Neat looking rig.

mud-sweat-gears · 11-24-2008, 03:07 PM

Did you heat treat the aluminum backbone?

clod driver · 11-25-2008, 01:18 PM

why would he heat treat the back bone if it brakes it will only cost him $7.50 to buy more window channle. i didn't heat treat mine an it hasent bent or broke and i use the L channle
