^ If you abandon, them wheels and maybe a few other things would be welcome here in my garage lol!

I also need some Rumbles, Spikes, or Destroyers for this stocker...

Actually, I have decided to do a "no limit money" on this "money pit" clod racer. She is actually coming along quite well. I contacted two companies to get a chassis for the axles I have but they have absolutely nothing left. So I'm just going to have to make my own chassis. I thought about the new Axial Grave Digger but those axle shafts are dinky in my opinion compare to these RC4WD extreme duty XVD's. This Clod should be equipped with 1/8th scale stuff.

Good to hear! I agree, heavy duty stuff should be in these trucks because the huge tires and amount of abuse they see.

Great to see people still in love with the Clod! I have soo many parts it nuts... Too bad all of my clods ended up being cut up and setup as crawlers.... Still some of my favorite R/c's!

Lanky I hear ya man!

The crawling craze (before we could actually buy capable scalers and crawlers) were the death of many a good monster truck...Solid axle MT has proven itself to be here to stay though now, even if shaft drive is now becoming popular.

Funny thing is though, Clod axle rigs are still taking the top spots at these MT events, it seems.

Funniest part is... While there are absolutely more capable crawlers, the most fun I have crawling, is always with my clods. There is still a bunch of climbs my main clod crawls that a few friends can make with there other superclass's(a wheelbase thing)... Clod for the win!

Clod racing isnt huge. But its still alive and well. With companies like Proline and Jconcepts jumping back in I'm sure it will grow yet!

Nice Clods...I'm always watching youtube vids of the Trigger King races , too bad I can't find anything around Cincinnati. Michigan Monsters looks cool too!

Work in progress. Both axles fitted with XVD's, front for steering and the rear for a little bit of toe-in for some grippage.





This trash can fit my entire foot. As you can see, this axle setup won't even fit the trash bin.



Mini-Trophy Truck has a hard time carrying a Jug rim and Kyosho USA-1 tire.

Hi there, I am sure this has been stated else where, but I have two spare Tamiya Sports Tuned motors that I would like to place on my Super Clod Buster. Do the Sports Tuned motors have timing on them given the direction arrow displayed on them? I am guessing that this will cause an issue as one gearbox drives forward and the other reverse. I will be using the standard Tamiya ESC that comes with the kit (TEU-BK106). Thanks. Scott

My all-stock Clod (except for the HobbyWing WP1080 ESC to replace the dead stocker) and my Axial SMT10 Grave Digger.
