Default Good clod find, looking for advice.

I got this truck used for about $25. I have no idea what the chassis is and the tires are scary looking with all those screws.

Here are some pics.




I want to make a nice crawler with the axles, ive never done a clod before so im looking for advice, pictures and maybe some information on this chassis.

Hey there

You have clodzilla Version 3. Great play chassis. But first you will want to mount the servo(s) onto the axles.

This chassis is also a little short for crawling, but its a solid start.

Thanks, a friend of mine traded some old snowboard gear for this truck and a nitro stadium truck. he never used them so they just sat in his basement for about a year or so. well recently ive been working on building my tlt jeep in the machine shop at school so i got ahold of him and got this one for $25.

I didnt relize it was a clodzilla. Those things use to be the s#$* back in the day. Do you think anybody would want to buy the chassis? well if so let me know and make an offer.

yeah i noticed the motors, i havnt seen any of these for awile, i was thinking about cleaning them up and running them. The esc it came with is an airtronics and looks like junk to me.

I am thinking about doing a home made stick chassis, I dont see why the stick chassis kit is so expencive.
