I'm thinking of buying a Clod kit soon. I'd likely leave it mostly stock, but eventually upgrade the motors and ESC to something a little stronger. I just finished a Lunchbox and love it! Old school Tamiya trucks are simply awesome!

Any of the cheaper 3s capable esc's will do the trick! I run this one one (a buddy gave it to me for FREE!) in a CLod with stock motors, and 3s - nice setup! motors wear out a little quicker though but they are very cheap to replace.

If you swap out the plastic suspension links and shocks for aluminum 4 link and oil filled shocks then a hard to beat combo is the Traxxas evx-2 with Titan Revo or Maxx motors. Pretty good on 3s, but can even handle 4s lipo!

Thanks!
Best to contact the ZRP facebook page. I do know when in stock he usually sells axle braces but the other stuff I'm not to sure.
I appreciate it! This one was special as the graphic design was actually done by me. Turned out just as I wanted.

Great trucks! If keeping it mostly stock, I would suggest just upping to a 3s lipo on the stock silver cans. Wheely machine, and the plastic suspension parts have some trouble holding up to the increased speed and jumping ability.

Ive also seen people using 4 Traxxas Maxx shocks in place of the 8 stockers for a cheap suspension upgrade. I'd likely leave the stockers in there though, I love the bouncy friction shocks on old school trucks!

SHOOT! I linked the stock motors for a cheap price, and forgot to link the ESC I run. Anyways, here it is. The WP-1040. Lipo capable to 3s, waterptoof, and does a good job running mild twin brushed motors - You don't need a specific dual motor/battery esc if you wire things up correctly.
The stock Tamiya ESC I am unsure of because I have never tried it.
