|  Ongoing Project V06
I just wanted a few opinions of the latest version of my Clod.It now has aluminum gearcases and axle tubes along with aluminum gear lockers.It also has been changed from savage shocks to T-MAXX ones.Gearcases,axle tubes,and gear lockers were done by co-worker and fellow RCC member ROYDELBURG.The rest was done by me.Also,it now has Moab XL's on narrowed Cheyenne beadlocks and a Pro-Line Toyota Landcruiser body.Next on the agenda is aluminum steering knuckles and aluminum beadlock wheels.Original pics can be seen on page 3 of members rides.

Axles are pimp!  I love the Body. You may want to get another body that you can hack up (the FJ is just to sweet) , lower, and get some rock rash on. :? Other than that it's really nice. |

Aluminum axles kick arse!!  Looks like a good rig but I would agree with dez that a slammed Rubi body would prolly make it werk better even though I understand why it is riding high. Nice work. |

I just thought I'd give a little update.In an attempt to get things a little lower I decided to redesign the chassis.The wheelbase will be at 16" and the electronics plate will be shorter and lower to help get the cog down a bit.It's going to have a 60/40 split unless I decide I don't like it.Let me know what you think.All parts were made by Roydelburg or myself.Hopefully everything will be together by next weekend.
