Default 2.2 clod

here is my first attempt at a crawler. i made the main chassis, 4 links, and steering links. it has locked gearboxes, 55 turn lathes, rc4wd lower shock mounts, ttr upper link mounts, associated shocks, hpi split spoke wheels, masher 2000 tires, and an hpi rubicon body. it seems to work pretty good. what do ya guys think?

All I Would change is move the shock mounts out a little further. Finally another 2.2 CLOD!

How do you mount 2.2 wheels to clod axles. Is there an adapter or do they bolt up. I'm starting to put together the parts for my first 2.2 clod build and don't know how this works. Thanks.

They bolt up. Depending on what rims you get you might need to add some washers. They go behind the wheel nut ontop of the rim. But yes they bolt up.
