Took my clodzilla 4 crawlin at the river today, first time I've had it out other than in my yard crawling on landscape rocks.

I know the zilla isn't the most popular choice for crawling,but I have been working on it alot and it seems to work well. Here is the rundown.

Zilla 4 chassis (sway bars removed)
CPE clod to max wideners
tower ts-70 servo (2ws for now)
super rooster esc
Gmade tires and wheels
R.R. 9t pinion's
16 3/4in wide
13in center to center wb
6in center clearance

Now for the pics, tell me what ya think.

Looks pretty good.

I personally would get rid of the canti setup and lower the rig a bit.

Awsome start though.

Looks good, but I think it may do even better with a longer wheelbase. Maybe it's just the way the photos are taken, but it looks short for a crawler.

If you're happy with the way it works, that's all that really matters though.

I thought about removing the canti set up, but it seems to have great flex with them on.
