|  The little bug that could
Recently i decided to trade off my 2.2 clod and go back to a tlt. well after recieving it and looking over it, the XRC looks very promising. The first thing that i did upon getting it was to strip it down and give it a new outfit. first thing that had to go was the shiny chassis, link mounts and axle plates. Then the white links had to go also, so i just replaced them with some black high clearance links, which i would have to say look very cool and look like they will perform very well on the rocks (by the way if you have experieced it yet, insanerc has great customer service, after problems with usps). Next, this thing needed some new shoes, so it got some beefed up masher 2ks on some hpi spikes. After a long wait from the post office i final got a new lid. Next was time for the brushless system to go back in (thanks to jrh for such great customer service). And blah, blah . . . . . off to some specs and some pics xrc with high clearance links mamba brushless system stealth tranny losi green shocks (painted) with red in the left rear to help fight torque beefed up masher 2ks with hpi's jr servo aluminum knuckles and soon to come, a front dig that i working on right now also going to do a test run either thurday or friday so i will have some action pics and maybe a vid if i can figure that out      |

thanks guys for the comments. i'm going to try to get a vid soon but the only person i can get to film it is my girlfriend:-x knowing her she will just stand there and follow around and not try to get any angles on it. If i cant figure out how to edit a vid, then all you will here is me telling here where to go to get a good view of it.

About time!  I already redesigned the Clod 3 times already!  Did you just paint the chassis sides and axle plates?  Love the Bug Body! Here is a pic of your old rig in it's new form!  |

it did awsome. was actually suprised. the only thing it didnt handle as well as i would of liked was side hilling, if that is a word. it crawled up and out of a lot of things and with the torque of the brushless system, it was great.
