Default cheap Clod build

Finally decided to fix up the old Clod since the short course truck weren't having any issues. Most of this build so far has been done cheap. I would rather build something then buy it. So there is some DIY involved.

Mods so far:
4 link conversion
14" wheel base
Modified stock shocks for more travel
Hot glue diff lockers
Axle mounted front servo
Rear steer lockout

Pictures to come.

Stock clod before mods




Front axle servo mount made from aluminum angle.


Rear steer lockout.

Building the 4 link


Made some shock mounts that bolt to the axle braces.




Gotta have some after build flex shots.



Considering Im still using a stock chassis, I think it is working great. I have maybe $30 into all the mods so far. I don't have pictures of every step, but if you have any questions just ask.

Used the Clod on 3S Lipo for the first time today. Wow! What a difference!
