Default What do you think about this??

I found this : and i wonder if the last ( clodzilla II) is worth it? I was considderign TXT but i dont know if i can afford it? I know its stupid question but will it do OK crawling, or will i end up better saving up for TXT??

Found what? I didn't see a link. :?

A Zilla II would be a good starting point I think. A Mod Clod or a stock TXT end up at about the same cost and you still got motor, gearing, etc. for both so it really comes down to what you want.

Clods are great performers and very reliable, gearing becomes an issue with tires over 6" tall. The TXT is easier to add more gear reduction to but then you have to beef up the drivetrain. Pros and cons to both.

Personally I think a Clod is hard to beat.

Clods are some of the strongest axles out there. I have bent aluminum links in my rig using clod axles ;)

I cant see it because it wants me to log in though. They have started selling the clodbuster new again; So dont go for like the super NIB old school 500$ Clod...

If you don't like to wrench and tinker the TXT-1 probobly be better.

:o Towerhobbies has the new clods in stock now.
They are cheaper than the origional ones, plus if you buy and sign up at tower they will ship your order for free. You can get a new clod to your door for around $210.00
