Default Clod Build 1...4x4x4 Porsche

I decided to go with a PimpCane style chassis and a Porsche body...

Completed:
Glue-gunned diff
RPM wheels
Masher 2000's

On order:
Dual BTA steering (4ws)
Hitec 645's
Red Rocks
Ofna servo savers

To be purchased:
TQ3
Tekin Rebel 2 (maybe)
Axiom motors
Custom battery
Updated ThunderTech 3:1 gear reduction kit (when it comes out)

Will probably build some RedRock/Masher frankentires for it...Hopefully it will be ready by this Spring

ok, if you have the dough, go with brushless , talk to JRH he can hook you up, i'am in the slow process of making all my rigs bl, but so far have converted 2 clods and 2 tlts, i'am 2 clods and 3 tlt's short , seriously if you can don't give it a second thought brushless is where it's at

I ended up getting some of those 60T hand wound Axioms...don't quite have the dough for 2 brushless motors and two esc's.

Here's some pics of my back-up tires (or future masher/rocks hybrids)...

Looks good. Any off body shots. Give ya a Tip...Add AirSift BB's to the tires. Anywhere from 6oz to 12oz per tire. Keep the PC well balanced. This helps with the Float. Anyway. About the 3rd time out it will start to shine. after that it just ROCKS...

The Christmas money is gonna get this thing finished...if the relatives only knew what I was spending that cash on they would probably have bought me a sweater instead

I'll post final build details and take some pics with and without body, flex shots etc, after I get the rest of the gear mounted up....c'mon UPS
