|  My Home Built Clod
After 10 years of sitting in a box I decided to get the old girl back out. I decided to go online to see if I could still find parts and to my surprise I found a whole new world of RC Crawling!!! Thanks to advice from this great forum, I have now locked my diffs and given the truck much needed finishing and repairs. Thanks for all the great servo mounting threads! I would love some feed back on my design, especially suspension. Here is my truck. Still needs a new body, any good recommendations. 3D rendered side view:  3D rendered top view:  How she looked the last 15 years:  After a little loving care: no electrics:  Ready to run!  Current Set up. Old Stampede shocks 2 Tekin rebel esc 2 P2K pro motors |

Looks cool. Seems to have some nice articulation. How's it drive? I'd like to see it with a body on it. Nice work!

| Thank you
I am working on a body design now, that's why I am doing the 3D renderings. Because of the way suspension works any pre-made body must sit to high for my liking. After a little more tuning tonight I have a full 90 degrees of articulation!  Top vew  |

| For old times sake
Before I fully finish the conversion to super class crawler, I decided to play Monster Truck one last time! This is her highest settings under original hardware.  |

| Back to a shelf queen.
About a month ago I bought my wife a Venom Creeper shafty, I love it, and now she got me one for my birth day. Don't get me wrong I will always love my Clod and will keep her till I die. That being said it's time for her motors and speed controllers go to a better use for now. To convert her to a comp ready rig is just to much money!

Same thing happened to my clod, I got a Axial AX-10 and pretty much put the clod on the shelf to collect dust  |

I've got both a creeper and a clod....love em both. I'm just a basher, too much money to make a clod comp worthy in my opinion.
