Default My Clod (updates)

Hi !

I just drilled holes in stock Clod wheels. I think it looks much much better than stock. What you think ?

I`m during body painting so it`s still "work in progress".

nice touch on drilling holes on the rims. chassis needs a lot of work though, the long shocks look overkill and may be the reason for design limitations. imho, i dont like any shocks longer than 4.25 inch.

get a different body and cover up the chassis as much as possible with it! Get rid of the svage shocks and get some good 4 inchers!

I have to agree with badtothebone I have the savage shocks and they are too long. but I get them with out asking anyone if they work well. I like the origanal body though. To me it just looks real

Yes I know they are long but I just leave them .... Only limit is that I can`t make smaller wheelbase, but I like the way it looks now and it works really well Now I need to add some paint or decals on the body. In future I`ll buy other one, cause this one isn`t so good as it might be. I don`t want it look like typicall crawler ... more real monster truck with crawling and racing abilities

Thanks for your answer !

I hear ya that is what I was going for but not many people here like my truck they say its up too high!! I thought more frame off the ground was better for around my area. I will take more pictures of mine this afternoon at the beach. When you see the rocks we have you will see why the hight is good for me!!

there is no such thing as a racer crawling monster truck here, you need to choose which side of the force to join. Jedi side = the crawlers and the dark side = the speeders! you know what happens when you join the dark side ... you start looking like the buggered up sith lords!
