Upgrading my stock clodbuster.

[Kbabiasz]

I'm not new to r/c. My first was a 2.5tmaxx that I upgraded to all aluminum parts then sold because I couldn't keep it running, lol.

My clod is the chrome edition, all stock and I love it. I would like to upgrade some parts of it, while keeping its stock look. I don't bash or crawl it, just tool around with it in the street or at the beach, dirt and mud and snow when it comes, but nothin extreme.

The parts I want to upgrade are....
Servo, I have a traxxas 2075 blue servo, would like to get a metal gear servo
Steering rod as the stock ones bend easily
Shocks, for both performance and appearance
Bearings
Wheels and tires
And eventually the ESC and motors
I would also like to waterproof/sand proof it if anyone has suggestions.

Anyone have any suggestions for brands or parts?


I'm also looking for a near new/new clodbuster body with all the trim parts if anyone has any leads.

I know there are a lot of options out there for these parts, I'm just looking for suggestions.

Servos- Depends on how much money you would like to spend. A Hitec 5645 would be an upgrade but something like a Hitec 7955 or 7950 would really get the tires turning.

Have you checked the evilbay for Clod bodies?

I upgraded the motors to 2 550 titans, and an evx ESC. CPE steering links. I'm still looking at servos, so thanks for the suggestions

Evilbay??

ive been using HiTec hs645mg in my nitros & electrics for years. They have more then enough to push huge tires around. And they are pretty cheap, i just seen them in my LHS for 35.00/ea.

How much are you looking to spend? A pretty good servo in the Hitec 7954 can be had for about $80 each. Otherwise I would look into the Hitec 5645. Has more torque than the 645 for a couple dollars more.

When/if I build a show clod, ill get new servos, for now I decided to hang on to what I have in it now, but thanks for the info

i ran two hitec 645s in my clod turned the tires real fast plus the metal gears helped.
