new build/first build lots of questions
 

i just got a set of free clod axles so i was thinking of making a truck. i would like more of a basher than a crawler.i have been looking at different chas on here and ones that are manurfactured . i would like some thing like the new era but with out the rollcage section. i have read that you can build them out of brake line,but i dont know what size and where to start on the frame. i have a general idea but i dont know where to start.

Good Luck!!



You mentioned having questions?

yeah how many links do i make the suspention. i see one in each corner running back to the frame and one in the middle . how do you mount them to the axle

Screws work"thumbsup"


Just kidding with ya. 4 link suspension has a total of 8 links, 4 for each axle.
Check out the stickies at the top of the Clod forum to get some ideas. Like the 'How to build a Clod crawler' sticky.

like he said 4 links pre axle 2 on top of it and 2 lower top you need to make or buy a mount that sticks in the hole where the stock steering thing is. lower links mount where the axle stays screw on the axle tube
