ESP Hobby Clodzilla IV - 11/10/2007 9:25:08 PM

Hello everyone. Just ordered a Clodzilla IV chassis couple days ago. Seen videos of a clod using it and it was very impressive. I was wondering, should I buy a new clod buster kit or use my old bullhead stuff? If I buy a other clod, like the super clod buster, then I wouldn't need to take anything apart. If I use my bullhead, there will be a lot of things taking apart, like the solid axles. But then I will have two trucks then. The clodzilla and the bullhead, if I buy a other clod kit. What do you guys think?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		How about buying all the parts to build the two axles? Tower hobbies have lots of them.

Oh, yeah guys, my clodzilla iv is almost finish. I receive the kit in the mail about two weeks ago. I'm pretty impress of what it can do. But I find that the cantilevers and the mounts are a bit weak, when I was building it. They might won't last long, if taking jumps. The clodzilla iv was made for jumping and bashing, but I don't think it can do all that stuff. Just have to see it to believe it, when it is all build.

Status: offline 		thanks for the info. i will have to check that out. do you think it's just the mounts or the cantilevers are just to thin. any idea on improving the design.

Maybe fit the TXT hop-up on it.. now those are beefy!
