This is what happens, when you have a nice Clod body and stock chassis and a top heavy, low performing Cliff Climber mixed with alot of ambition and some time to spare. It took all of 2 hours to complete. Its not completely done, I plan to tummy tuck it soon. I would have gotten alot more pics, but my camera is on its last leg and I had to fight with it to even get these 2 pics.
Stock 5500 380 motors
Traxxas EVX2 ESC
Dual Intellect 1600 2/3 cells
HiTec 625MG servo.

Keeley's Cliff Climber

This is my girl friend's Cliff Climber. She was really happy to get her own rock climber. It is almost stock, the only thing I did was to re-solder and reverse rear servo to get rid of that goofy spacer. Hope you like it.
