I had a blast driving my new Super Clod this weekend, what with the nice weather we had in Chicago. I fabbed some lexan axle-based steering servo mounts, installed two water-proof Traxxas servos, and mixed them in my new DX4s. Works beautifully and is far more direct and responsive.

I also finished the body - Tamiya pearl white which yielded a beautiful satin finish.

boy im gonna have to get some pic of my cloud up somtime mine is still all stuck even still got a stock ese on it gonna get those pic.

Here is my clod Ive been working on... Custom chassis plates similar to the Ground Pounder..Castle SV2s with Tekin 358 motors, Savox 1258 servo, TXT wheels, Rumble tires, CVDs (no wideners), Gmade XD shocks, aluminum tubes and knuckles, ZRP upperlink mounts and rear lockout..Taking her to Diggers Dungeon in a few weeks

Kingclod that looks bad a$$

I went to a rc swap meet and picked up 2 clods....well sort of. They need to be cleaned up. I'll post pics later so you can see what I mean.

Here's an 80's clodbuster with an aluminum esp chassis and a pair of trinity monster horsepower normal and reverse rotation motors with an old futaba esc. Was at my dads buried I'm his basement for over 20 years...

Thats sweet! Does it work?

Yes, but the old 4000 mah battery pack wouldn't charge so I used a 2s lipo pack.

that lipo is going to kill those motors.

here are the pics of the "2" clods I picked up yesterday

i had my terminator out over the weekend. such a blast.
i'm slowly converting about a 1/4 acre from overgrown lawn to rc track.
so far it's just cleared out and mowed, perfect for the clod.

ill have to get some new pics, but my dual brushless termintator is a few pages back.

Thanks man I appreciate it..Im getting it ready for Diggers Dungeon next weekend...I have a Ground Pounder built up too. but the Clod is my favorite

i'm having one hell of a time trying to keep the axels from coming loose.

it didn't happen to me when i raced it, but those races are monster jam style so it's quick and you're really not beating on it much.

bashing it out in the yard the serrated nuts back out, even with locktite.

i am using 2 4000kv bl motors and i know i'm really pushing the limits of the truck. i don't want alloy axles though, plastic is more forgiving and cheap, plus i've never broken one.

i guess i'll have to get some m3 lock nuts and try a better thread locker.

I use m3 lock nuts, they hold on much much longer then the serrated nuts I used to use.

Finally made the minimum post requirement so here's my trucks

WHAT PART DID YOU USE TO HAVE IT RUNNING SO GOOD? ALSO WHERE CAN YOU FIND A GOOD CHASSY FOR A CLODBUSTER?
