Default 1st clod build

Hey all!

I am just getting into rock crawling and fixing to do my first build!

My buddy at work gave me his old clod buster, just have to buy him lunch a couple of times. This morning I ordered myself an aluminum NN chassis. I can't wait to get this thing together!

Has anyone ever tried to drive their rig up a staircase? I am hoping to be able to do that - would be hella cool!

Will post pics when I get the chassis and start moving on things.

This is a classic 1st post. I have to give you props on originality.

Let us know how you make out with the stairs....

I remember seeing my first rc stair climb...I think it was a site called "Mod Clod" or something like that they guy had a beat up yellow jeep body on it..I was amazed that a Clod was capable of climbing a set of stairs. I never looked at clods the same thereafter

Keep us posted..Vids if possible

^^ I remember that site.

Anyway, a clod can climb stairs, but it needs to be lifted way up, the stairs need to be straight, and not of the kind where the step goes in before going up, if you know what I'm trying to say.

If you dial your clod to run up & down stair without a glitch you'll have alot of fun on the rocks
Good luck with your build
