here's mine. MIDGET I had to modify the battery holder and lower servo plate which now serves as my battery holder Better ground clearance. So far works great for me.

cool thanks so much, what links are you using?

kwj48 · 01-21-2005, 03:50 PM

Made um myself .

not hard to do. I had to make my own top link connector at the axle too because I cracked the mounting hole where everyone else puts theirs.

I havnt got any pics of it just yet but i will try to find some, i used to run a clodzilla III which has the same geometry in the links.It was Bumpy's first Chassis(my first comp rig)it use to run against Mudcow no worries,he would still beat me but that was just the loose nut behind the wheel.
My brother used to run the Clodzilla II with no worries at all, i would say ,lower it ,lengthen it and it will work sweet.
Have a close look at it and compare it with some of the rigs that guys are competeing with now, its not that different,just need to be lower and longer.

ya right now it's still coming to me but it's just the chassis, i was think like 16ish maybe give or take a inch for the wheelbase, but like i said im new to the clod crawlers, so thanks so much for responding this is help me out so much. anyone else (man im greedy)

i have seen one in action there not great but im sure you could mod it to be better have you ever thought about a design of your own?

3L3ectricracer135 · 01-21-2005, 09:47 PM

well i have had the idea you can call me crazy of making it a shafty using like a pede tranny and either x-factor or txt-1 axels. other than that thats all ive really thought about, im going to make my own links , that i know for sure. i was talking to a guy and he said his had about 80* of artic which is more than enough. im not set on the shaft idea it's really whatever axels i can get ahold of first, i dont mind clod axels but i thought i would experiment a little first and if it doesnt work out i could go to clod axels. if i did the pede tranny and used revo sliders i can make it with around a 16inch wheel base. anything from you guys would help, the only thing im worried about if i makee it a shaft driven truck is if it would a torque twist. thanks for all your help guys
