Default Clod-Honcho

i started this build a week ago using a pile of clod & Axial parts aswel as some of my custom stuff.

x2 Clod axles - locked using CA
custom rear-steer lockout using cladboard & links
Axial AX10 lower links
Piggyback alloy shocks - brand n/a
Axial rocksliders
Custom TVP chassis - steel
Custom framerail - alloy
Axial Honcho lexan
Stock wheels w/Duratrax v-spike tires
Thundertech wheel widners
Thundertech adj motor mounts
custom top links - 3mmthread rod & 3/16 alloy tube
TRX EVX2 ESC
AE Rx
AE Tx
AX2 servo (metal gear & bearings)
custom lower link mounts - alloy
custom servo mount - steering
Axial batteryplate & velcro straps
N-Savage alloy bars (TVP supports for Clod)
N-Savage plastic bars (supports battery plate)
Axial scx10 rear bracing for framerails

*still looking for something (thinking plastic if not alloy) 10mm thickness for my custom 3-link post mounts (not fabb'd yet, but designed *not shown yet*)

RC4WD steel bumper with tow hooks

Still waiting on the rear tube cage from Axial that fits this Honcho body to arrive?

Sounds good. I'm debating 45t or 55t motors in my clod. But I do think I'll go with 55t and run them on 3s.

Keeping in mind this is mocked up for now, i had to make sure it all worked good first.
Clod now has longer wheelbase by inverting the upper/lower links.
*Chev body seen in pics are temporary until i recieve my ordered 1980 Proline bod, painting it black.


Servo box now on framerail
