Default My 2.2 Clod

Still a work-in-progress, but here are some pics for you.
Currently equipped with
-some Mtroniks esc
-lame S3003
-IB3600 batts
-stock silver cans w/ 13t
-Mashers 2k's on single-sided narrowed HPI rims
-Homemade torsion yidda-yadda.

Kinda hard to get crawling stuff over here (The Netherlands), so I'll have to live with it for now. Please leave comments!

Looks great! But those wheels might be a little wide and those motors might not have sufficient torque.

Looks great! Try turning your front tires around. You should notice a difference in traction.

Thanks!
I might narrow them up some more, and I'm really busy looking for a place around here that sells some better motors.

the stock motors will do fine, i ran them and there good, you shouldnt need to change them if its like you say, just turn around those mashers.

i was running my stockers with stock tires and i could climb up stairs.

I ordered it some years ago, found it laying around, and painted it up. Dunno if it is still available.

I haven't been able to find an ajustable motor mount here, but if I do, I'll gear it lower.

You'll have to wait quite a while for pics on the rocks, because... there aren't really any rocks out here

Heel galadon Take a look at ww.drc2.nl that's The dutch crawler site (en meld je ff aan)
Cool set up. btw its just too wide i think but with some rear rims of an pede it will look very nice and a little narrower istn't that so?

Turn your tires around like suggested earlier and if your not running weight, add some to all four wheels.
Do you know of a place which sells lathe's, and will accept Paypal? (besides Tower) That might be an option.

And how much weight would be a good starting point for the wheels to add?
Thanks in advance,
