kdrodworks316 grave digger build

[Wheel_Works]

I'm liking this build alot. I use to be on Radio Control Monster Truck Network - Radio Control Monster Truck Network and participate in the NR/CTPA events in Ohio when I could. Both the site and events use to draw alot of Tuber style Clods

[kdrodworks316]

I'm a member over at rcmt too, there's some good info over there. I'd like to see some of those events in my neck of the woods, we got a lot of mod clod guys in my area. I host most of the races that go on here, mostly just guys getting to together and race their junk. Welcome to the board wheelworks!

I got my sway bar arms all finished up, hours and hours of filing and sanding and polishing. Got my 4-40 drill and tap today, so they are ready to install now! Heres a couple pics......



And heres my new/old parma hemi I scored from hellbounder(thanks again Joe) Its got a nice fresh coat of my signature color, digger green. I changed out the blower hat for a more scale looking one. I'm going to mod the valve covers and shave the holes, move the mag to the rear and make a big block chevy out of it. And on to the pics.....

Are you going to sell this to pay the mortgage?

[kdrodworks316]

I dont even have it yet, so i cant sell it. I cant invest any more cash into it right now, thats for sure.

[Wheel_Works]

Thanks, Rigs looking good.
I got out of the Hobby back around 2004-2005 and went back to the RCMT board and that thing is dead! I came looking for a Hopping board and I sure found one. I just got a AX10 but Im looking for a set of Clod Axles also. Once most people have had a Clod it something they always hsve to have around.

wow great build so far...

[Jeepial]

Ain't this thing done yet.....geeeeeezz

[kdrodworks316]

lol, sadly, no. I cant wait to get it and start working on it though.

[scorpiondave]

Any updates on this?

[kdrodworks316]

The update is..... waiting on the mailman to drop this bad boy on my porch! i was hoping today, maybe tomorrow. I'll keep you posted

[MSB]

best wishes, the mailman just dropped off the start of my grave digger build

[kdrodworks316]

Well I've been tinkering around with my new spyder chassis, and its taken a bit of a new direction. The only thing clod based left is the tires. I tore my wheely king apart and used the tranny and axles. I robbed the driveline out of the tmaxx, worked like a charm. The WB is just about perfect for the digger body, just a hair long. I used some integy msr11 shocks with remote reservoirs that are about 112mm long, they are just about perfect too. So, Does anyone wanna see pics?

[scorpiondave]

Well yeah! That goes without saying. We've been waiting, seems like forever.

[lud98r]

O the suspense

[kdrodworks316]

I'm kinda enjoying teasing you guys, lol! I will get some pics up asap.

[Jeepial]

Were are the pics?!?!?!?!!!????!!!!!

[kdrodworks316]

OK, OK, I've teased everyone enough I guess. Heres the spyderwebb Dominator chassis all built out and mocked up......



And I was feeling nostalgic of my full scale monster truck racing days and decided to do some tire shaving


Heres the WK tranny, fits like it was meant to be there.


Some interior shots, this stuff will get hidden somehow once I do the real interior.


And the icing on the cake, stealing my sons digger body off his zilla so I can take pics, LOL!


Ok guys, lets here your comments on her........
