AJ's Clod FINISHED w/pics 9.23.05 page2
 

Well I traded a touring car for some Clod axles. Then I got some narrowed BFT's. I've already got maxx wheel adapters so that's done. I've got a plan for a chassis but I"m debating weither or not to build a simple tube chassis. What do you guys think? If I build a tube chassis this is what I'm thinking designing it after a formula toyota chassis. or the other idea is similar to a V2

Here's the fomula toy

that chassis looks a little big!! :flipoff: lol it would look good!!

that would look good for the clod you are thinking about building.

the tube chassis would be awsome. :)
with some 1/4 eliptical suspension or somthing

needs more triangulation :flipoff:

Yup more Triangulation. :mrgreen:

what is the Jeep in your name. Do a tuber similar to a Jeep man, but then again, everyone does that. :shock:

Carry on. just keep us informed of what you end up with. Once my house is ready to sell, I am getting back on track for my $300 YJ and hope to have it on the trail in April. Then I will get back to building a tuber for some solid axles. :mrgreen:

Both Twisted Creations and I have done the Formula Toyota... Definetely a very simple tuber.

don't do it Formla yota's are Evil...............................ltr Pat

yes thats one more shafty coming to clods

yeah here is a Maxx i did based from the Formula toy ;-)

I kinda started playing with a 1/6th scale version when Mike first
came up with the Formula chassis, but never got any further than this.........

hey jay that frame would look sweet when it gets done. how long and wide is it.

Well in the middle of another 2.2 rig I started making my Clod chassis. It's going to be a simple aluminum chassis.

Well I made a couple different chassis's tonight. I'll post some pics once I assemble them.

LASTNIGHT? :?

what?

When you've got the tools and you've made a few... It don't take much at all!

the long version:
especially for a CLOD. its a rolling battery tray with some holes in it for links and shocks. I have access to a shop that builds and rebuilds Toyota FJ40's. It's really nice working with a mill, lathe, shear and brake. I busted out 3 in under an hour. but one got messed up not too bad. I made them up as I built them. I had an idea but no measurements till I started.

the short version
Yup what he said.

Ever think of maybe putting the battery on it's side to get the center very narrow?
