Default bella's clod build.....

So, Ive been posting on here for a bit on everybody elses rigs and such, so, I decided that it it time to build another clod based monster. This time tho... its for my daughter Bella. Its gonna be for her 10th b-day. She sees the rigs I have and keeps bugging me to build her a monster truck.....

I did some dealing on the classifieds here and got a clod roller that just happen to have my favorite clod tires on that have been discontinued for years... I also am finishing up a deal on another set for "dads" rig....

Im gonna build it on a budget and keep her rig "stock", except Im gonna make my own 4 links, stretch it some, and of course.... MORE POWER!!!!!

Here is the build list of parts that I am going to use.....
Clod axles w/ brearings
4 wheel steering
upper 4link mount
stock clod chassis w/multi link mods
adjustable motor mounts
AE2 esc
HH torque master sport 27t motors
axial shocks
Hitec 645 steering servos

I will post up pics as parts come in, as for now.... I have the esc and the shocks. I also want to see how much of this I can build by getting parts from the classifieds here.... Gotta lover bartering and used stuff!

Lol, I'm waiting for all of the parts to get here. The primary rolling chassis and the "other" axles should be here in a couple of days..... I got a little antsy about building it so I started the build thread....

Actually..... Pics will be posted on Monday cuz I leave for easter jeep safari at Moab later today and I won't be back til Sunday night, so, I will actually have my hands on all of the parts on Monday. Its cool that I have at least 1 other interested in this build. So, Monday I will get all of the parts, make all of the links, get a bunch of pics posted and maybe have a complete roller ready.... Whew.

Ok. So, I've had the parts for a week now and I finally got to clean up the roller some, got is assembled, did the single shock mod and getting the steering links on.....

The adapters I needed to fit the axial beadlocks that were on my e-revo and that my daughter is in love with came in today too. So.... I figured it was time to take some pics and show some actual progress.....
Here it is assembled for the most part.....


Here is the 17mm HR clod adapters.....


And here are the new wheels and a comparison from old to new width.....




I really like the new stance.....
