2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig 11 Attachment(s) Got gang of parts in bins and boxes from Eddie at Crawler Innovations. He said make 3-4 rigs out of all these parts. This is not all the parts by any means! Goal is to make a roller to preserve the nostaliga of the r/c crawler for that time period. Most of these parts are from 2009. Here is the first rig from the piles. MiniClod Kit http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axles...axle-kits.html MiniClod lets you run AX10 C-Hubs, Knuckles, lockouts and axle shafts. Reign Widemouth Chassis (mine I had laying around) but we dug around the parts pile and found another widemouth. DMG C-10 Truckee Topper VP Beadlocks Some 5.65" Cougars I built years ago with Crawler Innovation's Single stage Firm foams. Some parts are mock up some are final. |

Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig Looking forward to your mini clod build. I used to own that DMG topper and c10 body very briefly years ago. Glad to see it again. |
Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig Thank you for building this rig for posterity Shane. "thumbsup" It's amazing what you've done with those parts in only a few weeks. They have been sitting around for years now. Quote:

Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig Funny how old school is cool again. My most coveted rig right now is a cherry super clod. I won't even let the little ones run it. I enjoy running it even as bad as it handles! |

Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig I have the mini clod kit also. It be interesting to see how you set up the steering. It was one of the most frustrating aspect of my built until I went with the pimp cane and went with bta steering. |
Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig I bet there is a decased spektrum receiver in that toolbox. :) Super stoked to see those parts being used. I know it's supposed to be a shelf rig but I would still consider adding castor in case it gets ran. You can clock the tubes if you can't lay the motor down with the chassis setup. Is that like 50/50 droop sprung? |

It's all in mockup still. Just wanted to figure out the links/wb right off the bat. I saw where some had re-drilled the tube flanges for clocking but not sure I wanna do that. Tons of motor clearance so I think I can do it with upper link adjustments. 4.25" or so shocks. Springs are just mockup for ride height. It is pretty much a half droop/sprung setup. These shocks are butter smooth so it feels good how it is, right now anyways. |
Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig That your 2.2p rig for nats? :ror: |
Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig This is a very very sweet rig. |

Got the wheelbase right at 12.5" with 8/32" all thread and revos and worked on the steering a bit. Will get replaced with Ti links. Used an old RC4WD servo mount I had in my parts bin. Straight tie rod will need to get replaced with a more wavy setup. Vanquish Zero Ackerman knuckles installed. This is all mocked up and semi-final. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/uba2a6at.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/me7y2uja.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/za4ejery.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/8aquny7u.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/u3e8abas.jpg Sent from my thumbs. |

I made them a few years ago and only ran them a few times. They seemed fitting on this rig. Sent from my thumbs. |

Re: 2013 Mini Clod "Crawler Innovations" Shelf Rig Love it!! Reminds me of my 2.2 clod back when TLT's ruled the growing 2.2 class. Gotta have a Dig Switch with a tiny Blue Bird servo!! |
Quote:
If this rig gets electronics it will Probably be a single BR-XL with two Holmes Hobbies 35turns. But the Manly dig switch is on reserve! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/21/y8e9esuh.jpg Sent from my thumbs. |
