Default My Newb Clod Buildup

WOW!!! all i can say ive been running a Cheap New Bright Jeep Rockcrawler Modified. now im running a Clod Crawler and its AMAZING its a little speedy but i think with my new pinions and motor mounts it will slow it down a bit. Glad i found this forum to help me through my modifications. And yes Electrical tape is holding my ESC+RX on the Chassis!! Lol i thought it was better then using ducktape :P




Specs:

Fubuta RX/TX
Unmodified Traxxas EVX 14.4v
Stock Motors
Full metal bearings
Hitech HS-645MG
Clod-To-Maxx Adapters
Maxx Rims with Swamp Dawgs Mounted on them
Unknown Chassis
