Default ClodMods

Did a few up dates on my Clod. Converted to pin drive so I could interchange the wheels with the Bully Stik. I made a 8mm o.d. sleeve that fits over the Clod spline shaft, and drilled a 2.5 mm hole through the shaft & sleeve. Swapped out the 6x12mm hub bearings for 8x12mm bearings. Also made the axle tubes which incorporate the lower link and shock mounts. A combination upper link mount and upper servo mount. The lower servo mount uses the standard through hole on the diff housing. Converted the wheels to pin drive.

Did a few more changes. Switched from the Gmade 104mm shocks to HPI 117mm shocks for a little more travel. Bent the lower links for more tire clearance. Changed the center barrel on the 2.8 wheels and mounted a set of Pro-Line Giant Trac tires.
